You might like Arsenic and Old Lace. It’s set in New York City and is about 2 old spinsters who “help” lonely old men by poisoning them and burying them in the cellar.
Another film set in NYC is The Naked City (from whence the famous quote: “eight million stories in the naked city” came from) is a film noir police drama where the police are trying to solve a homicide about a model who is found drowned in her bathtub.
Here’s one from 1988 that I have not seen called New Year’s Day (It’s a romance):
Frazzled writer Drew (Henry Jaglom) flees Los Angeles to start a new life in Manhattan and experiences a life-changing New Year’s Eve thanks to three young women who refuse to move out of his new apartment. Forced to spend the holiday with current tenants Annie (Gwen Welles), Winona (Melanie Winter) and Lucy (Maggie Wheeler), Drew gets an up close and personal look at life and love in the Big Apple. David Duchovny and Milos Forman co-star
Here’s one from 1953, that I have not seen, called The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms: This 1953 sci-fi classic, directed by Eugene Lourie and starring Paul Christian, Ross Elliott and Cecil Kallaway, brings to the screen Ray Bradbury’s short story “The Fog Horn.” The powerful force of atomic testing in the Arctic has awakened a sleeping rhedosaurus that’s been frozen solid in ice, and the creature rises from the sea to exact revenge in the streets of New York. Features animation by Ray Harryhausen.
And last but not least, The Claw from 1955: A massive carnivorous bird and a spine-chilling squad of zombie assassins provide a double dose of terror in these two classic nail-biters from producer Sam Katzman. In The Giant Claw, a bird from outer space starts munching on humans; Jeff Morrow and Playboy Playmate Mara Corday star. Next, a mobster hires an evil ex-Nazi scientist to bring his dead henchmen back to life in Creature with the Atom Brain, penned by Curt Siodmak.
Happy New Year friend!
