Chicago: Brian de Palma's "The Fury" which was the first time I ever realized that Chicago was actually a beach town.
New York: "The Apartment"
Grew up in Southern Cal too, so my two favorite depictions are "Chinatown" and Altman's "The Long Goodbye".
And I started disliking Jack Nicholson early on: "Five Easy Pieces" where he's so mean to Karen Black, and then mean to Ann-Margaret in "Carnal Knowledge" and then mean to Shelley Duvall in "The Shining", and the list goes on.
Just the geo question for me.

What a great point about Chicago! I’ve never seen the Fury, now that’s on my list. Love your picks, all of them!
