So film critic Leonard Maltin has been hosting his own show, Secret's Out, on cable network ReelzChannel for a while now. When the network finally inked a deal with Time Warner Cable to appear in the New York market, they decided the smartest thing to do would be a publicity stunt:

Release a list of Leonard Maltin's 15 Greatest New York Scenes in Movie History.

And like the craven bastards we are, we went along with it. The 15 greatest scenes (with video) after the jump.
