  • Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, (1992). The Twin Towers can be seen in the logo.
  • King Kong, (1976). Kong is shown atop the Twin Towers with one foot on each tower, grasping a burning fighter plane as other planes attack.
  • Manhattan, (1979). Both towers make up the two legs of the "H" of the title "MANHATTAN".
  • New York Stories, (1989). The poster shows a small apartment building with various people in each window, behind is the title and only the Twin Towers. They were removed in the 2003 DVD release.
  • Sidewalks of New York, (2001). The poster showed the World Trade Center in the background; the poster had to be changed, delaying the movie's release.
  • Spider-Man, (2002). Seen in Spider-Man's eyes in the pre-9/11 teaser poster. The poster is still at large, and now is a highly prized collector's item.
  • Splash, (1984). Seen in the background of the original poster. In the 2004 anniversary edition, it is changed to a view of the Empire State Building.
  • The Squeeze, (1987). The main character is actually being "squeezed" in between the two towers with a large hand.
  • Superman II, (1980). Both versions of the poster include the World Trade Center with the New York City skyline on fire, or in this case Metropolis.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or movie:

    “Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “All television ever did was shrink the demand for ordinary movies. The demand for extraordinary movies increased. If any one thing is wrong with the movie industry today, it is the unrelenting effort to astonish.”
    —Clive James (b. 1939)
