I get chills everytime I see it in this movie probably more than any other background with How deep is your love playing. It's still sad.

This list on Wikipedia is amazing. I thought they would miss the first "The Out-of-Towners" sighting but they didn't. It's really only the foundation at that point and can be seen from the window of a plane early in the film.

This film. Working Girl has a poignant shot when she is riding the Staten Island ferry and looking back at the City. The Towers were such a symbol of soaring to the heights of success, reaching the moon, ambition. There's the Statue of Liberty that welcomes in new immigrants, then there were the towers which promised them the moon.

Speaking of moon. King Kong 1976 also used the Towers.

I feel exactly the same way. Call me weird but I also think there is a foreshadowing in the song "How deep is your love? I really need to learn because we are living in a world of fools breaking us down..." Every time I see that scene and think of those lyrics, it gives me chills..
