New York

Because New York is calling my name right now, lets talk about some movies that take place in New York:
New York Minute, I do not deny that at some low point in my life I loved Mary Kate and Ashley movies. Although this movie came out when they were a bit older (2004) I still rather enjoyed it. The thing about Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen isn't that they are great actresses, it is that they make every pre-teen girl wish she was a twin! I know my older sister and I always wish we were! The movie finds the two girls running around town trying to get to find one sisters missing planner which happens to carry her speech for an important debate. This was of course not the first movie where I saw the likes of New York but I feel it started that yearning to go there myself.

1960s classics such as West Side Story and Breakfast at Tiffanys are also filmed in New York
.
The Godfather, one of those movies that everyone has heard of and our kids will hear about. Filmed in 1972, The Godfather is highly ranked in the film festival but I have to say that it is not one of my favorites. Don't try to kill me through your computer, I know it is a great movie with great actors such as Al Pacino and Robert Duval (my two favs from the movie) but it is not one of those movies that I'll stop on while channel surfing. Just my opinion!

Does anyone else remember the greatness of Splash, filmed in New York 1984 it starred the great Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah. About a man who falls in love with a mermaid who saved him as a child, it is a good family/comedy that I would love to watch again.

Lets not forget Ghostbusters. Who hasn't said that famous quote "Who you gonna call?" Bill Murray is young in this movie and Its one of his most popular. I also hear that they are making a new one next year including Eliza Dushku (who I loved in Dollhouse) and Anna Faris, can't wait to see how that is going to turn out.

You've Got Mail, Step mom, Gia, Men in Black.....there are so many movies that were filmed in or about New York and there is no way for me to talk about them all but I think I shall end with Cruel Intentions, Rees Witherspoon, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillippe all star in this drama/seduction story about Kathryn (Gellar) who makes a bet with her step brother Sebastian (Phillippe) that if he can bed the famous virginal Annette (Witherspoon), he'll finally have a chance to get Kathryn. Of course as luck would have it, the ladies man falls for the beautiful "I want to wait for marriage" Annette and she can't possibly resist his charms or can she?
