Before the Twin Towers tragically fell to the ground nearly 10 years ago to the day, the buildings surprisingly boasted a thriving movie career. They were typecasted as the iconic structure standing out in the New York City skyline.
WTC made appearances in tons of classics like "Superman," "King Kong," "Bonfire Of The Vanities," "When Harry Met Sally," "Working Girl," "Basketball Diaries," "Being John Malkovich," the list goes on.
Leading up to the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, director/cartoonist Dan Meth created a cool montage of all of WTC’s cameos from 1969-2001 which, according to the Vimeo page, “celebrates the towers' film career with songs that capture the passing decades."
**Great concept, and well done, but he forgot Trading Places (at the end where Aykroyd & Murphy get out of the cab to enter the trading building). Also I believe there is scene from Broadway Danny Rose at the diner, being chased by the two brothers, there is a long shot across the river back to Manhattan from New Jersey.
Windows on the World was a complex of venues at the top floors (106th and 107th) of the North Tower of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan that included a restaurant, Windows on the World, a smaller restaurant called Wild Blue, and a bar called The Greatest Bar on Earth, as well as rooms for private functions.
I lived to see them go up in the late 60's and early 70's and I was around to see them come down. I miss them every time I look over to Manhattan from over here on the Jersey side.
