Back in the 70's and 80's, Vietnam and the changes taking place in the social order had the country in a dark and brooding mood. And NYC was the national archetype of of every evil known to man or woman. So nearly every movie set in NYC reflected a dark, brooding, ominous state of life.

Sunday Bloody Sunday. (British film. Highly acclaimed at the time. Script was too literate for popular consumption, near Shakespeare. Uses the trio from Cosi Fan Tutti as sound track and brought me my first awareness of real opera.)
