Other movies that feature NYC in the late 70's - mid 80's?

I'm sure I'm not the only one that is interested in this period of cinema. And I was wondering if anybody could share with me some other titles, like Basket Case, Driller Killer, The New York Ripper, The Exterminator etc.
Specifically interested in any Exploitation, Horror or Thriller, the grungier the better. Especially ones that feature life from within the 42nd Street Culture.

Thanks in advance.

Best films that feature the wonderously sleazy times
Square and 42nd street....

NEW YORK RIPPER
MANIAC
THE EXTERMINATOR
BASKET CASE
TAXI DRIVER

These are the only ones I can think of...God I miss
that time...seeing all those movies in dirty piss
smelling theatres! Gross I know, but added so
much to the atmosphere ...

Thanks everyone for all the brilliant recommendations, I for one can add a great NYC street documentary, albeit it's from fifties: On the Bowery (1956).

What's every more amazing, it's available in HD!
