In this episode of Talkin’ Talk Club, Dan and James are joined by friend of the show, Jim, for a stroll through their favourite New York movies.

What makes the perfect New York movie; Why did we all pick ‘Do the Right Thing’ but none of us chose a film by Woody Allen; and why do so many classic New York movies take place in a single day?

Here are our individual top five New York movies:

Dan’s picks:
Taxi Driver
Do the Right Thing
After Hours
The Warriors
The Fisher King

James’s picks:
Do the Right Thing
Birdman
25th Hour
C’mon C’mon
The Royal Tenenbaums

Jim’s picks
Dog Day Afternoon
Taxi Driver
Do the Right Thing
Saturday Night Fever
When Harry Met Sally

Previous Episode

Goodfellas

James had never seen Martin Scorsese’s wiseguy classic ‘Goodfellas’ so we watched it together and recorded a podcast about it.

Is this the greatest gangster movie of all time, or just the best and most influential Scorsese movie? And how is it possible for someone to be funny and scary at the same time?

Next Episode

Vertigo

James has never seen Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Vertigo’, so he watched it with Dan and they recorded a podcast about it.

Considered to be one of the greatest movies of all time, Vertigo is Mesmerising and full of mystery, but does it still have the power to surprise new viewers and why is it only truly satisfying when you see it more than once?
