From 1969 to 2001, the Twin Towers made countless cameos in Hollywood films. Sometimes featured prominently in the foreground, sometimes lurking in the distance. This montage celebrates the towers' all-too-short film career with songs that capture the passing decades. Man, I miss them.

    Just saw this streamed on BlogTV and had to look it up. It's an amazing video. It's so sad and still unbelievable to think those two majestic buildings are just gone. It's nice to think that they are still preserved in films.

    Great job! Thanks for including animation in the montage. The Twin Towers can also be seen in the animated feature, "Oliver & Company."

    I like the concept, but man ... you missed the best and most prominent appearance they made - Godspell! Swap out some of these and pop that one in, it's worth it.

    The original Spider-Man trailer also features prominent display (and use) of the Twin Towers: youtube.com/watch?v=9-r7qymfa0Q

    umm... really cool video but you missed a couple things... first off a very pivotal scene from the 1979 movie 'the warm parents' where jimmy finds his mom on the top of tower 2 before the helicopter takes off... and also there is a brief towers cameo you missed in the 1985 movie 'the strawberry that could fly'

    What about the opening scene from The Sopranos? I was looking for that. I thought you did a wonderful job editing this. I'm an editor too and I really respect your work! :)

    Hi Dan! This is very nice, you did a great job! I know alot ppl who are connected with the Towers appreciate your work on this film. The Towers were a part of life, many moments and years...its nice to see them standing tall and remember them as they used to be.

    From my friend MBW, a high-school teacher: I am going to use this in my class on Friday. Our students don't have the background of 9/11. My students were in first or second grade when it happened. I think the clips were let them see how the WTC towers were significant symbols for our nation. This clip will be a positive lead in to our discussion. I didn't want to show only the tragic images. Thanks!

    Brilliant tribute to NYC and Twin Towers. Great job! But I do miss scene from mindblowing documentary "Man on Wire" ;-)

    Well Done. This is really awesome, glad it was compiled in one place.

    I am a bit surprised you didnt include NYC scenes from beginning of New Jack City 1999, some of the best captures of NYC skyline I've seen in movies. Also Spider Man (WTC in Spider Man's eyes and shown in some rare Trailers)....

    I suppose not every scene could make the cut, but maybe if you do another version...

    All in All ... BRAVO!!
