Twin Towers in the Movies - Part 3

Part 1 Part 2
I've been collecting film shots of the World Trade Center Twin Towers since my last 2 posts. Some I knew I forgot immediately (The Killing Fields), some I was surprised to find (The Usual Suspects), and some I went looking for (Coming to America). Here goes:

Superman - (1978) Flying around with Lois Lane

Trading Places - (1983) The whole film takes place in Philadelphia but the climax is in New York.

Trading Places - The second of 2 staggering establishing shots.

Trading Places - Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy at the ground level of the WTC.

Ghostbusters - (1984) Near the mid-point when Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson talk in the car.

Ghostbusters - After William Atherton (D!ckless) releases the ghosts.

The Killing Fields - (1984) - An establishing shot that pans down to . . .

The Killing Fields - journalist Sam Waterston, after he escapes from Cambodia. His friend, Dith Pran (played by real-life gynecologist Dr. Haing S. Ngor), is left behind. Pran passed on March 30, 2008. Oscar-winner Ngor passed on in 1996.

Coming to America - (1988) The Twin Towers are often used as a symbol for characters from New York's other boroughs, striving for success.

Working Girl - (1988) Part of the opening shot. Hard to see this without that Carly Simon song in your head.

Working Girl - The New York skyline is what motivates Melanie Griffith and she turns to it frequently.

Working Girl - Four separate times, in fact, including over the closing credits. It's a respectable chick flick from director Mike Nichols. Watch out for a young Kevin Spacey and Alec Baldwin.

The Usual Suspects - (1995) After the flashback when the guys set the cop car on fire.

Copland - (1997) - I expected to see more shots of the Towers in this one, but James Mangold finally came through in the last minute, just prior to the radio chatter. "I give you a chance to be a cop, and YOU BLEW IT!" This one gets better with every viewing.
