New York, I Love You (And Always Have): Top Ten New York Movie Moments
3. When Harry Met Sally
The 1989 flick that instantly made Meg Ryan America’s new sweetheart, it also reintroduced the eternal question: can a guy and a girl can actually be just friends. We can’t believe it’s been twenty years since Harry met Sally, but we’ll never forget the impossible-to-not-love love story that they created, from the moment Harry dropped Sally off at Washington Square Park to the night they finally do it, plus the post-coitus awkwardness, and the post awkwardness reconciliation that ends in this epic moment. But the moment that will live in infamy, and also put pastrami sandwiches and Katz’s on the national map, is this one:
4. Sleepless In Seattle
While we’re on the subject of Meg Ryan, here is that other Nora Ephron-directed favorite Sleepless In Seattle, the movie which updated the famous Empire State Building plot point from An Affair To Remember for modern audiences.

KatrinasmediaAngel says: Or my favorite(can’t find a clip)
The street fair scene from “You’ve Got Mail” Or anything from “You’ve Got Mail.”
Rachel Sklar says: I feel like there’s a whole segment of “gritty new york” clips that are missing from this pantheon – of course I can’t think of any now. Maybe “Pieces of April” about an awkward LES Thanksgiving?
plocke says: Love them all. And, since I’m a Brooklyn gal, I have to add Sophie’s Choice and that fabulous house in Ditmas Park. (Trailer) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlcH-m5l0g4
How could King Kong climbing the Empire State building with Fay Ray not be on this list? A huge oversight.
LotusMan says: What about “Miracle on 34th Street”?!! You have “Elf” but not this classic???
Also, what about Ghostbusters?!!! It was all New York, and more visibly and identifiably New York than most of the movies listed — and it’s also better than a half the movies mentioned! It’s got down town, uptown and everything in between. Come on, the Staypuffed marshmallow man rampaging through the streets of New York and the exploding covering the street with marshmallow?! Seriously. Your list is sadly lacking.
kimross says: New York I Love You is full of love and power. Not for everybody, however, but is a beautiful movie.

Bill O’Reilly Defends Fox News News VP Who Gave His Tea Party Opinion
Bill O'Reilly spent several segments last night discussing the tea party movement and attempting to defend Fox News VP of News and Washington managing editor Bill Sammon for his blanket statement about the mainstream media's 'hatred' of the partying. It included a contentious interview with Politico executive editor Jim VandeHei, a talk with Brit Hume (who previously held Sammon's job) and a "Talking Points" opening (including some 'original reporting').
Keith Olbermann, Jon Stewart Fail to Eviscerate Sarah Palin
Hyperbole must be over. How else does one explain the extremely disappointing bits that Jon Stewart and Keith Olbermann did on Sarah Palin last night? Handed (thank you, I'm here all week) 3 days of Palin material that rivaled anything George W. Bush ever gave them, Olbermann could barely manage a molecule of spittle, let alone a lather, and Stewart deployed his seldom-used Nerf™ jokes.
