The Paper (1994)

Living and Working in NYC
This has been one of my touchstone movies since it arrived in 1994. I grew up in various locales in the NYC metro area, and can attest to the quickening of an already fast pace of life from the 1960's forward. (I remember when the radio station featured in the movie, 1010-WINS, was a Pop Rock station. BTW, WINS claims today to be "the most listened to radio station in the USA".) The pace of life depicted in this movie, the diverse scenes - which always have a lot of other people going about their business, and the constant need to make decisions quickly are what New York City is to me.

Before you read the travel books or see the videos, you should view this movie to better appreciate what will be going on around you when you visit. The Grand Canyon has serenitity, New York City has adrenaline.

The Paper review
All of the actors gave a great performance; there was comedy in several spots, and we've watched the film several times. if you can't see it on HBO, buy the disk.
