I'm a sucker for all forms of urban propaganda. Here are some of my favorite representations of the city in film, video and television:
Best Television Commercial Ever. American Express for the Tribeca Film Festival featuring Robert Deniro. Directed by Martin Scorsese, 2004.
Best Opening Film Sequence Ever. Music: Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin. Directed by Woody Allen, 1979.
Best Use of an Urban Public Space for Advertising. Produced by T-Mobile, 2009.
Best Supporting Role by a City Landmark. Starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. Directed by Leo McCarey, 1957.
Best City Satire, Created by Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein for the Independent Film Channel, 2011.
