What is more cinematic than New York in the morning?
Sure, the movie theatres aren't open yet. But the seasoned AM commuter, ipod tucked in jacket pocket, hand cradling to-go cup, can still have movie moments while clustering in cramped subway cars and traipsing trafficked streets. With the right playlist and venti of Joe, the world is your Bollywood production number.
Some soundtrack recommendations, to be accompanied with your neighborhood brew, Starbucks, Dunkin, or progressive alternative:
*Working Girl--Carly Simon welcomes huddled masses on the Staten Island Ferry to the big city
*Once--When Your Mind's Made Up: contemplative, empowering, groovy
*Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Me--Polyphonic Spree will pump you up without giving you a migraine (key track: "Light and Day")
*Almost Famous--Director Cameron Crowe makes movie soundtracks like fine wines. 70s rock.
*Magnolia--If I am sipping tea, I order up Aimee Mann
*Garden State--New Jersey transit or the Path train
*Austin Powers (1,2,3)-Try not to take yourself so seriously
*Shakespeare in Love-a suggestion from a friend.
*Amelie-best for cross-town bus rides through the park
*Devil Wears Prada--U2, Madonna, little Alanis...life is good
