Top 10 Cities
Suggested by: Aoife Johns

I happily reward any film set in New York at least one point, no matter how dreadful because I adore the backdrop. The grime, the splendour, New York is one of the most amazing cities in the world and as such, one of the most impressive sets. It would appear Aoife has noted this and wants to know what other cities catch my eye. Attached to each entry is an example of three films that shows-off the city's best and worst qualities.
