I'll start.Godspell (1973.) It features a dance number on the roof of the North tower. Good, though underrated film.

Yes, Darryl, the tightrope walker was Philipe Petit, and it was 1984, as memory serves. He had an accomplice help him raise a wire and secure it between the two towers, and then he walked across it holding a balance bar. I recall that the police who were waiting for him on the top of the other tower were mightly impressed, they gave him a big round of appaluse before hauling him off. I think the charges were eventually dropped.It's been over a week now, and it still won't sink in. I come into town on the train from New Jersey, getting off at Christopher Street in the Village, and the first thing I used to look for when I got up to street level was the WTC towers to get my bearings. Now, nothing. Unnerving to know that while you are buying your morning muffin and coffee, nearly 7000 people lay dead less than a mile away.
