A+ trolling effort by whoever put that "aggressively bland" infographic together.

A recent movie that struck me as firmly belonging in this thread is The Northman.

I shouldn't bother but

1. The Eastwood characters in the spaghetti westerns are not trying to "bring order to communities," they are trying to enrich themselves personally

2. Those characters with "well-paying office jobs" are not "upper class"

otm, the house is the villain

If we're doing TV shows, I always thought Philip & Elizabeth in The Americans were the bad guys and spent six seasons waiting for them to get their comeuppance.

lol what? this movie went out of its way to make it REALLY obvious that the main character's motives were overly simplistic and did not map to reality
