Turner & Hooch, 1989

A slobbery love story between man and man’s best friend. After a murder, anal-retentive cop Scott Turner (Tom Hanks) takes in the victim’s ugly, poorly house-trained dog Hooch in the hopes the mangy mutt will lead him to the killer. After destroying Turner’s immaculate house, Hooch makes like Lassie and leads Turner to a money-laundering operation, then (spoiler alert!) gives his canine life to save Turner’s. Sure, it’s no Saving Private Ryan, but Tom Hanks delivers a memorable performance despite competing for face-time with an incorrigible scene-stealer.

The New York Public Library

The moment: Carrie — "The last person in New York to check out library books," according to Big — stops in to return them when she spots preparations for a wedding. Cue the inevitable lightbulb. Even if Big can't write a love letter, they'll get married in a place that houses all of the world's great love letters. Find it: On Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street. Take home: A copy of Love Letters of Great Men, volume one.

James Devaney

Lumi Restaurant

The moment: Charlotte, who's been plotting the way she'll finally tell off Mr. Big if she ever sees him again, spots him at Lumi, an Italian restaurant. The sighting unnerves her, and she flees outside to avoid him. Of course he races after her, whereupon Charlotte's water breaks on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. Find it: At 963 Lexington Avenue between 70th and 71st Streets on the Upper East Side, Charlotte's neighborhood, just a quick trip to Lenox Hill Hospital, where Big then shuttles Charlotte to have her baby. Take home: The fusilli alla Siciliana, whole wheat pasta with eggplant and fresh mozzarella.

Cameron Whitman

The Brooklyn Bridge

The moment: An estranged Miranda and Steve decide to meet in the center of the Brooklyn Bridge. The problem with such meetings, says Miranda, is that if the other person doesn't show up, you're rejected...and on a bridge. Find it: Start east, from the Manhattan side, near City Hall. Take home: Someone you're willing to start fresh with, or at least some severely windblown hair.

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, 2004

Cheech & Chong for the Facebook generation. This slacker road trip flick features two middling buddies in frantic pursuit of the ultimate munchies—60 White Castle sliders. Shockingly, the film enjoyed modest approval from critics and went on to become a DVD cult classic. Crammed with ethnic jokes, stoner misadventures, and even a cameo by Neil Patrick Harris playing himself, one reviewer called it “freakin’ hilarious.” We concur.
