If it hasn't got "Marathon Man" it's totally not worth it. Best. Movie. Ever. (Shot. In. N. Y. C. At. Least.)

And of course there is a Flickr group of NYC film and TV locations.

I was going to mention architect James Sanders' book "Celluloid Skyline", but I see that he's authored the book comemorating the 40th anniversary of the MOoFT&B. Anyway, I'll still recommend it.

They forgot "Donnie Brasco". Sonny Black's hangout was filmed about 2 blocks away from my apartment (in Greenpoint).

Neat idea but some of their dots are in the wrong areas in Brooklyn on the map, even though the info is correct in the popup.

Actually, if you launch the map, you can move it around and you'll see Working Girl noted as a dot in the water (ferry, I suppose) and that Staten Island's lone movie is Ferry Tales. But that's a quibble with the map - The Godfather is marked as being in Little Italy, when it was bigger than that.

Sorry, I meant it doesn't have some of the great Staten Island flicks. I won't type faster than my brain can move next time.

HEY! That map doesn't have Staten Island! We had some great movies filmed on SI. The Godfather. Hello? And even Working Girl.
