I just saw a very good movie I would highly recommend to anyone, Bridge of Spies, with Tom Hanks, set in the cold war, I won't go into the story, but it is very well done, and probably relevant to today without too much imagination involved.
However, since this is a car forum, I do have to add, there are a lot of street scenes, both in New York, and in Berlin, which is just getting the Berlin wall put up. Always love to see old cars in movies, as expected they are mostly all restored and shiny, but that, while not maybe entirely historically accurate, is a least forgivable. The really bad is some of the car choices, there is one seen with a late 40s model vehicle that is a thinly disguised street rod, it even had a loud and low V8 rumble, several cars that looked to be a year or two or three too new that were very peripheral to the scenes and action, and then, the worst, a Volvo P1800, a car not introduced until the early 60s, plays a major role in the movie, including a ride across east Berlin with the protagonist aboard.
I know not everyone in the world is a car guy, but auto model years are readily ascertainable, you would think in a movie with a multi million dollar budget someone could keep track of that kind of stuff, **** I would do it for a small stipend.
That being said I am not so obsessive about this stuff that it spoiled the movie for me, still a good flick.
