How fitting that perhaps the most iconic view of the Queensboro Bridge comes from consummate New York filmmaker Woody Allen. The famed span was immortalized in his 1979 movie "Manhattan."

But the noted structure, which is also known as the 59th Street Bridge, has cropped up in many other films as well as popular television shows throughout its 100-year history.

You can catch a view of the bridge in Alfred Hitchcock's 1959 thriller "The Wrong Man" which starred Henry Fonda as a Queens family man, falsely accused of armed robbery.

The bridge gets quite a workout in "Spiderman" as Spidey has to come to the rescue of Kirsten Dunst who's being trapped there by the evil Green Goblin.

In the 1976 version of "King Kong", the bridge is clearly visible, as Jeff Bridges tries to stop Kong from destroying the city.

Kurt Russel takes a walk on the 59th Street Bridge in the 1981 sci-fi thriller "Escape From New York", while Robert Redford and Mia Farrow cross the bridge as they head out to Long Island's wealthy gold coast in F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic "The Great Gatsby."

The most memorable scene in the Sylvester Stallone action thriller "Nighthawks" involves the tramway, which runs parallel to the bridge.

Look out the window of Frank Sinatra's swinging bachelor pad in "The Tender Trap", and you'll see it. But it's not the real thing. It's actually a realistic painting of it that was done in Hollywood.

You can see the real McCoy in such movies as "Turk 182" with Timothy Hutton.

TV shows take no back seat when it comes to featuring the Queensboro Bridge. You can take a late 1970's ride across the bridge in the opening credits of every episode of "Taxi", and it's also clearly visible in many shows that are currently being shot in in New York, like "Gossip Girl."
