New York City In Film, TV & Documentaries: A Historical & Cultural Retrospective
This is an ongoing attempt to create comprehensive list of films, TV shows and documentaries that have influenced and/or depicted the cultural and historical legacy of NYC.
Some on this last have done so accurately and some not so much.
Some examples here are adored artistically by critics for their authenticity, while some less so, yet both generate an image of the city that has became both an incredibly popular as a place to live or visit, as well a scary, decaying, and intimidating place to avoid.
Some of these works a decent number of New Yorkers even hold or have held resentment or bitterness towards for the images they have generated. Sometimes using stereotypes that some have seen as harmful, and believing these works have led to demographic and cultural changes over time that leaves some uncomfortable or vulnerable.
All of these examples, regardless of how one sees them, have had an impact, and if you want to understand New York City as thoroughly as possible and this battle to define what is New York City is all of these are worthy of your time.
