    Scarface also belongs ... to me it's a definitive movie about the late 70s early 80s Miami

    I'd also throw in The Untouchables for the 20s and 30s Chicago mob scene

    I loved Untouchables back when it came out. I watched recently, and it did not hold up.

    Fellowship of the Ring

    American Pie is tremendous for representing that era
    Cocktail has a definitive place in representing the yuppy New York scene of the 80s

    It's become a little dated- e.g., the soundtrack is terrible, but ISFL the bridge scene. And De Niro is still the GOAT Capone, inc. the guy that plays him in Boardwalk Empire.

    I get what you're saying because I have the same issue when I watch older Bond movies and hold them against the Craig era of the franchise ...

    As Yellow noted, De Niro's the GOAT Capone and Connery's work in the film is one of his finer performances in my mind. The Bridge Scene is iconic as part of that movie. My favorite sequence comes with Connery confronting the crooked cop and the cop saying "I'm looking at a dead man" and what comes with it

    It's not necessarily historically accurate at all points and whatnot ... but there's a really important portion of American history during the Prohibition time period that I don't feel like we have adequately really captured in film

    It's highly subjective ...

    Goldfinger is tremendous ... it's my 2nd favorite Connery movie.

    I've always liked From Russia with Love just a tad better ... personal taste.

    On Her Majesty's Secret Service is my preferred Bond movie ... it really has everything to it.

    The series with Craig is by and large my favorite sequence of movies to date.

    Live and Let Die always gets bumped in my rankings for 2 reasons:

    1) It's by far the best title song in the franchise's history and it's not even close

    2) Jane Seymour
