Mine is a bit niche. Male anti hero protagonist revenge movies. Usually takes place in england. Always has a heavy criminal element, a good bit of violence and the lead usually dies in the end. Recent favorites include “Bull” “Avengment” and “Villan”. Not sure if this specific type of movie is a genre or not but there’s plenty of them.
Ridiculously soapy period drama with a huge amount of money thrown at it for costumes and locations. See Sissi and Les Liaisons Dangereuses.
