One of the most gorgeous movie openings i've ever seen in all of my movie watching.

A New York that no longer exists...

It’s incredible how different the times!

Classic city life 😢

[@contorta960]

Same exact style as Philadelphia, both timeless movies with ensemble casts and writing that knocks what we often have today off the wall!

I seem to fixate on pop culture from my age 5 to my age 15. Gradually lost interest with age after 15. Many folks are probably that way. But this was one of the highlights. Visiting NYC while the WTC towers were going up was neat.
