List of movies that had the Twin Towers shown in them

Just watched one-
The Thomas Crown Affair (newest one)

n/t.

Remake of King Kong (1976?)

Sol Bianca and the video game Parasite eve both have the twin towers in them.

where homer is in new york waiting to get a boot taken off his car ans he has to pee and runs up both towers

I'm so pissed off that they cut all references to the WTC when it airs. We shouldn't be "erasing" the towers from our memories just because they had a tragic ending. Tragedy is a part of life and we shouldn't ignore the good memories because of the bad. Can you imagine erasing all references to JFK or Pearl Harbor from our movies, books and television shows?

The towers were there and we loved them - well ok, some people thought they were really ugly - but many of us loved them! ;-)

Sorry, didn't mean to ramble ... I just miss them and I hate it when they're "deleted" - It's bad enough they've been taken from our skyline. Do they have to be taken from everywhere else? :-(

On a positive note - I love this thread! I'm glad so many movies "preserved" the towers.

... the World Trade Center towers in any movie or TV show repeat. It still shows up in Friends repeats and I've seen it in Sex and the City repeats as well.

Working Girl, the King Kong remake, Wall Street

Though Sex and the City did edit them out of the opening credits and out of some episodes as well. Though there is one episode (season 4, pre-LIHOP) where she picks up a paperweight filled with water with a little model of the NYC skyline inside it, the Towers being oversized as the predominant feature. She says something like "sometimes life gets too monotonous and you just have to shake things up a little," and she shakes it, and the camera zooms in on the glitter swirling around the towers. Though I know it's just a line from a TV show it's still unsettling whenever I watch it.

buildings...and it makes me sick. It is very hard to watch.

the Sopranos also sticks out as well

Would think they'd be in at least one...

had a fair close up.

Do long shots count?

even though no one would blame you if you did.

Anyone ever get a chance to see the Spiderman trailer? Spidey spins a web between the two towers, thereby catching bad guy bank robbers in their whirlybird...

who can think of movies...

Did Sleepless in Seattle have that shot?

Law & Order & NYPD Blue -- they show up a lot on the reruns.

Just off the top of my head ...


:hippie:

Closing scene where the skyline of NYC of the late 1880's morphs
into present day.

actually it was the 1860's. ohhh and I love that U2 song too.

Well, at least they had a pre-release theatrical trailer that featured the Towers. It, and the scene it referred to, were dropped from the flick when it was released, out of respect.

....it's when he's flyin' around and lands on a window ledge.....it's only a flash of 'em but if you slo-mo it down then use the step function on your remote...you can see the towers reflected in his eyes...tripped me OUT!:)

The closing credits for "Barney Miller".

n/t

There are several scenes in the lobby that the firemen used as a staging area.

The WTC was brand-new at the time that film was made.

...saw it on HBO recently & it made me choke up to see them.

Crappy movie, but I remember the movie poster with King Kong having one foot on each tower.

the top 20 or so floors were still being completed when king kong was filmed on them.....

i saw the movie last month to...i got angry all over again too....

Terrible Sylvester Stallone movie, but nice shots of the Twin Towers.

are two not yet listed

About a month before the attacks. It shows a bunch of kids building replicas of famous NY landmarks (Chrysler Building, Empire State, the WTC) in the sand at the seashore.

TV: I think that "NewsRadio" and certainly "Saturday Night Live" and "Late Night with David Letterman" had quick glimpses of the towers in their opening sequences.

"All For The Best" ended with the cast dancing on top of one of the towers - and it wasn't finished yet! There's scaffolding all around the top floors. The cover of the soundtrack CD shows them dancing on the roof, but you can't see the scaffolding. It's still a cool shot!

YES it's ALL for THE BEST!!!!!" always loved those rocking tunes from GS

Kojak
Nighthawks
Manhattan

where they went INSIDE one of the Twin Towers, I don't know the name to it but it is old.

...of Chock Full o' Nuts coffee.

Now someone can do a compilation of those shots...would
