I love films set in the 40's and 50's - they ooze style - the suits, the cars, the guns!
A lot of films set in the 60's and 70's appear quite sleazy and grim (not a sweaping generalisation - just an observation)
A lot of movies set in the 80's have a real naff fealing to them - mobile phones (sorry cell phones for our US cousins), the size of house bricks etc.
Does anyone else have a favourite era and why?
"Consiglierie of mine, I think you should tell your don what everyone seems to know....."
"you think I'm funny?......."
"I'm sorry did I break your concentration?"

Welcome to the boards, Paultot!  Enjoy your stay, paisan!  Anyways, it depends for me. Mafia films--I like to be set in the 40's and 50's, at the peak of the Cosa Nostra. But, normal crime/gangster films, excluding the MAFIA, just a mob movie--a.l.a. Scarface, Taxi Driver, Pulp Fiction, ect.--I like to be set in the 80's or 90's.
the power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it. george bernard shaw
