Yet another bang-up tribute to our metropolis, this time with an Oscar leitmotif. The seventies is thoroughly represented with landmark titles Annie Hall and The Godfather as well as the old-school bravura Pacino (Dog Day Afternoon), Hoffman/Streep (Kramer vs. Kramer), and Jane Fonda (Klute). There's also other classics of city grit and gravitas such as Raging Bull and The French Connection, which still boasts one of Gotham's most propulsive scenes. MGM's first musical, The Broadway Melody, also holds the distinction of being the first NYC-set Best Picture-winner.
