List of movies that had the Twin Towers shown in them

[realFedUp]

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

[XanaDUer]

1. Sid and Nancy.

n/t.

Remake of King Kong (1976?)

[7th_Sephiroth]

44. The anime movie

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

[7th_Sephiroth]

45. oh and i have the simpsons episode

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

[BattyDem]

50. I love that episode!

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.

2. My heart jumps and I feel butterflies in my stomach whenever I see...

... 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.

3. and

Working Girl, the King Kong remake, Wall Street

[He loved Big Brother]

40. I do as well.

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.

[ScreamingMeemie]

53. Me too. I think of all the people bustling around in those

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

[Uzybone]

4. Vanilla Sky

the Sopranos also sticks out as well

7. Don't forget the execrable Escape from New York.

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...

[Nay]

43. Daylight -- just ending now on Starz Channel.

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

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

47. Men In Black and Bringing out the Dead

are two not yet listed

[Lisa]

48. kind of a related topic -- check out cover of New Yorker, Aug 2001

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.

[BattyDem]

49. I'll never forget that scene in Godspell

"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!

[NewYorkerfromMass]

51. "Someone's got to be impressed....

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

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

52. couple more

Kojak
