Watching Bennett Miller's vastly unseen The Cruise about the tour guide Timothy Levitch, whose articulate knowledge of New York is profound and witty, I realized I actually have a yen for movies about eccentric [or at least interesting] New Yorkers. This is a list that tries to put them together in one place. The list is arranged alphabetically according to the individuals' surnames [or by group designations, listed first]. I will not be including criminals in this list.
