I can't honestly think of the last time I went to the movie theatres, but there is one movie that I saw months ago that I completely fell in love with: Gangster Squad. As I have mentioned before, I am very much into the lifestyle from the 40's-60's. This movie took place in the early 40's, and I have such a fascination with the wardrobe as well. Overall the movie was absolutely incredible.
My all time favorite movie(s), I have to say I'm happy with either the movie A Bronx Tale or Cinderella Man.
A Bronx Tale is a movie about a small Italian boy name Calogero (nicknamed C) witnessing a shooting by the well-known Italian gangster named Sonny. After C saves Sonny from the authorities, he grows a bond with the gangster, but his bus driver Father, Lorenzo, disapproves of the friendship they have. So, throughout the movie, C is growing up under the wing of his father, and his Gangster friend Sonny.
Cinderella Man is a movie that takes place during The Great Depression. James J. Braddock, a boxer from New Jersey is discouraged to know that he is being kicked out of the ring, due to his hand breaking. However, without boxing he, and his loving wife have no income without his boxing career. After his hand heals, he takes up offers by his manager to get back in the ring despite his wife's wishes. In the final Championship bout, Braddock faces the dangerous Max Baer, a boxer who is known to knock boxers out to their death. In the end, Braddock wins, which is where he gets the name Cinderella Man.
I'm open to a big variety of movies, but as you can see, my kind of movies are preferably those that take place in an older decade. :)
I too like movies depicting the past, especially the scenery and the wardrobe. These sound good.
