best film about a city?

[boohoo]

Just watched 'of time and the city', about Liverpool, old footage, music and a narration rather beautifully put together...well, as these things go.

Also have seen the London nobody knows and Saint Etiennes did a film of london...finisterre...which is alright but no great surprises...

so what are other documentry but not quite films about great cities worth watching?

good film....

 

[boohoo]

Actually old movies like Billy Liar, Alfie and Blow up have great footage of the changing cities. And the pool of london...which is well worth a watch for the London docks in full swing.

 

[boohoo]

And the millionairess - peter sellers movie... however, they are films which happen to have scenes of London/elsewhere, which have changed rather than films about a city.
