If there are two things we love they are movies and New York City maps. Put the two together and you've got a recipe for stopping all productivity at Gothamist HQ. And that is exactly what Bernie Hou of Alien Loves Predator has done, having spent the last five months cramming 91 movie references onto one awesome movie map of New York.
Pretty sweet, right? Even better, you can get a copy of it for yourself. The first person to e-mail the 91 movies in the poster, in order, to Hou will get a free copy of the poster (as well three random runner-ups). Just make sure you notice that the flickr version of the poster numbers each reference! Of course, if you don't feel like doing all that work you can always buy an 18"x24" print of the map for $16. But where is the fun in that?
So far we've been able to name nearly 70 of the references (good thing we just did a post on New York's bridges in movies), including All About Eve, Cruel Intentions, Rear Window, The Seven Year Itch, Three Men and A Baby, and Zoolander.

How many can you see?
