Is New York the most meme setting for a movie? Half the fucking films that take place in big cities use New York.

that's because most American cities are complete suburban sprawl trash, and NYC is one of the few that photographs well
we don't have the beautiful filmic public squares, marketplaces, cathedral plazas and centrally designed neighborhoods of much older, nicer cities in Europe like Paris, Rome, London, Florence, Prague, Venice

>London
I live here and I can tell you it looks like shit and none of the old architecture is left anywhere.
Paris is pretty nice though

It's also the most populated city in the USA, the biggest consumer of film and television.
So if a focus group wanted a relatable place to the audience, NYC: Capitol of the Universe is a safe bet.
NYC: there's too many people and everything smells like piss

London looks like garbage mate

Accurate description of Pre-Giuliani NYC.
Now it's a city of too many rich douchebags, hipsters and techies where everything costs an arm and a leg.
Many NY set films and tv shows arent even filmed there and it shows. Empire right now comes to mind.
It used to be Chicago but crook county fucked that up by raising the tax to film here

I've been to London and know that it doesn't look bad. There is still plenty of older architechture. If you want to see terrible visit Los Angeles, Phoenix, Houston, Atlanta, etc... . London is like being in heaven compared to life in those cities.

Fellow Chicagoan here.
I prefer that. Let the plebs have their NYC. Part of Chicago's greatness is that it tends to fly under radars.

I've noticed more cities getting love as of late. Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, etc.
Washington DC is an underutilized city for rom coms.

No one wants to set anything there or film there.
