Sidney Lumet's 1978 remake of The Wizard of Oz gave the musical an all-black cast and a soundtrack produced by Motown Records. In The Wiz, Brooklyn substitutes itself for Kansas as Dorothy's hometown, with a cast of African American stars including Michael Jackson and Richard Pryor. Despite the incredible ensemble of talent, the movie was a commerc...
Probably the most underrated Spike Lee film, Clockersprovided a window into the lives of drug dealers in Brooklyn housing projects and the pressures associated with maintaining romantic and personal relationships amidst inner-city struggle. Originally slated to be directed by Martin Scorsese, Lee took over the film, adding authenticity through his ...
Smoke brought Paul Auster's literary interpretation of Brooklynto life when Wayne Wang chose to shoot the film, starring Harvey Keitel, entirely on location in Park Slope. The film is a love letter to Brooklyn, and a cross-section of the multicultural facets that can be found there, often sitting one on top of the other. Wang gave early exposure to...
Darren Aronofsky's turn-of-the-century tour de force, Requiem for a Dream, exposed the dark underbelly of the borough through Aronofsky's often-vicious perspective. Using innovative camera work, superb acting performances and photogenic locations in Brighton Beach and Coney Island, the film created an anxious viewing experience that cast a harsh li...
The calling card of the disco era in movies, Saturday Night Fever was a smash hit upon its release in 1977. It offered a look into Brooklyn's dance-fueled nightlife, winning Grammys for the incredible soundtrack and even an Oscar nomination for John Travolta. The film was shot entirely on locationin Brooklyn, including the 2001 Odyssey Disco, now f...
Noah Baumbach's 2005 film The Squid and the Whale touches on a different side of Brooklyn than most other films about the borough, focusing on the lives of a middle-class literary family in Park Slope. The film is an examination of how separation and divorce effect children, and the hypocrisy of Brooklyn pseudo-intellectuals who allow their dysfunc...
Goodfellas shows a much different Brooklyn than most films — the airports, back alleys and truck stop delis where the caporegime concoct hits and heists. Director Martin Scorsese uses neighborhoods like Carroll Gardens and Red Hookto create the authenticity and specificity necessary to tell this story. From brownstone stoops to JFK, the filming loc...
For The French Connection, William Friedkin turned Brooklyn into an obstacle course. The streets, elevated train tracks and alleyways became a stage for some of the greatest chase scenes ever put on film, and the grit of Gene Hackman's performance echoes the hard-nosed town. The film is loud, and you can feel every jerk of the camera as you dash up...
Speaking of incredibly tense Brooklyn movies, Dog Day Afternoon took tension to new levels, humanizing the heist movie by creating unhinged but sympathetic characters out of Sonny (Al Pacino) and Sal (John Cazale). It also has a Robin Hood aspect, when Brooklyn becomes a character en masse, and we feel its clanging presence outside the bank as a ho...
The film closest to the soul of Brooklyn, Spike Lee shows us the many vignettes that can be found on one Bed Stuy block in Do the Right Thing. Criss-crossing characters debate, harangue, spit, fight and love all in the same space. It embodies the struggle of different cultures living on top of eachother, and the powder keg of racial relations that ...
