Natalie Portman’s apartment in Black Swan is located in Brooklyn across the street from the Brooklyn Museum on Eastern Parkway. At least that’s where they shot the scenes for about a week. I guess you’ll have to make a Brooklyn map! Good work, love this.

This really is fantastic. Though West Side Story is a major player.

Natalie Portman’s apartment in Black Swan is set in the Upper West Side/Manhattan Valley area, around West 103rd Street. At least that was the subway station used in the movie.

Amazing job! I wish Hitch, Home Alone II, Flags of our Fathers, New York, I Love You, Watchmen, Miracle at St. Anna, P.S., I Love You, and Independence Day would have made it on here, as well as many others. Day After Tomorrow, too. Of course, movies where NYC is destroyed don’t leave much else for any other movies to be featured on here.

I assure you that Moe is whacked in Part One, during the baptism scene. Which as a Jewish child seeing this movie for the first time, forever altered my view of what happens at baptisms.
I was hoping Newsies would be on here :/

Fabulous map. It is my desktop background now.
“The Professional” was on the other night, and I only wish you had added Leon, or the young Matilda (Natalie Portman looking at the Black Sway poster?) or even Stansfield swallowing one of those gelcaps.

Crossing Delancey. It’s got the location right in the title. God, I hated that movie, but the title!
9½ Weeks.
Fame.
The Taking of Pelham One Two Three.
The Hospital.

For the WTC you could have used Amos Poe’s The Stranger. One key scene was filmed on the plaza between the towers, at an extreme upward angle, so you see all of both buildings towering over the characters. It was shot that way because Poe did not have permission to film there, so the camera was hidden.
A scond choice would be the scene from Jon Jost’s All The Vermers in New York, where Mark is waving good-by to all the ‘ants’ in the city below….
