NY for me cause I'm biased.. but Boston has come on strong recently.. a lot of classics. I've really enjoyed Boston based films.
I would add Empire, Summer of Sam, We Own The Night for New York.. ill think of more.

In my opinion, one of the reasons why New York films haven't been on point the last few years is because they don't make proper use of the city.
Scorsese made you feel what it was like to be in Boston in The Departed. Same thing for Boyz n the Hood and Los Angeles.
The next time someone decides to make an NYC-based crime film, they should watch Serpico fifty times and then go shoot it.

I'm from LA but they coming in 34rd behind NY and Boston in this one. Some of my favorite movies in the discussions from both towns but with The Town recently coming out I may have to go with Boston. Btw, we all know how good The Departed is but I think Mystic River is slept on.
