8.Manhattan
A New York film list without New York's most famous director Woody Allen would not be a complete list. He said of New York: I love the city in an emotional, irrational way, the way you would love your mother or father even though they were alcoholics or thieves. I have loved the city all my life - for me it is like a great woman. Perhaps his best and most famous film, Manhattan.

I was invited to the premiere back in 2013 or 2014 and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the lead actor, told me that he got a few scrapes during filming and even ended up in the hospital once. You almost feel as if you are racing along the streets of New York on your bike.
10. Jokers
The film is undoubtedly provocative and arguably nihilistic as it tells the story of Arthur Fleck, the aspiring comedian with mental health issues who transforms into Batman's nemesis The Joker over the course of the film. To create Gotham, the film was shot primarily in NYC and surrounding areas, in Upper Manhattan, the Bronx, DUMBO, Jersey City and Newark.
