Not to be too picky, but this should be "SHOT in NYC." I love almost any late '60s/'70s film from the city's nadir.

Why? I thought the OP was asking about movies where the story is set in NYC, not necessarily shot there. Plenty of movies set in NYC are not actually shot there - e.g. shot in Toronto and adding some postcard shots of NYC - because it's easier and often cheaper

Some good New York ambience:

The Warriors (but you knew that). The Sweet Smell of Success. Gloria (by Casavettes).

The list is damn near endless.
