*Let's face it, there's only one good kind of movie out there and its ones where its almost like New York is another character in the film. It does not have to be set in New York. It can be set in Atlanta, London, Japan, or the moon. As long as I feel like at any moment the five boroughs is going to walk through the door and tell the hero that Susan was the best thing to ever happen to him and if he needs to sacrifice his career to keep her and rush toward the airport right now in a high-speed high-stake chase to catch her one-way flight and run beside the leaving airplane while he gives her a heartfelt speech. I've been running out of movies and tv shows that meet this criteria though. I'm sure it has to be a popular genre though so I was wondering if goons had any recommendations? Please note: I do not like movies that are simply "love letters to New York City". You may not understand the distinction but trust me I do and I notice.

OP may be you've heard of a underdog story very near and dear to New Yorkers hearts, little tale of a hardworking man practically molded by these mean streets, film and the man both go by the name Rocky. Check it out.
