I second "the Lover" and third "Road to Perdition", which is one of my favorite movies ever.
I'd also strongly recommend "The Good Shepherd". Great movie!

That jacket used to be available through Magnoli Clothiers, but it looks like he might have dropped it from the line. I'll bet if you ask real nice he would make you one.....

I know it's 50's, but Good Night & Good Luck is fantastic.
Have you ever seen Kurosawa's Yojimbo? LMS is a remake of it.SamMarlowPI said:

"Lonely Hearts" with John Travolta (really, he's pretty good in this one) and James Gandolfini. Salma Heyak is in it, too. Its a good one set in the '40's.

Atonement is my pick
It was so meticulously costumed. The period tux that James McAvoy wears is impeccable pay close attention to the top of where the sleves are stitched to the shoulders this is a detail I have only seen in my vintage catalogs. And the green dress Keira knightley wears in that same sequence is beyond amazing. also little details like the items on McAvoy's toiletry table when he is getting ready. It is like a period film in vivid color with a giant magnifying glass on every period detail... to people like us who watch for that stuff, but not in a bad way and it doesn't detract from the story.

I just saw a movie from Taiwan called Blood Brothers (Tian tang kou) that had amazing Golden Era costumes and sets. The movie itself was an average gangster flic set in 1930's Shanghai, but the costumes alone were worth the price of admission.

Thanks! The shirt is not exactly vintage, but the picture shows off my Panama.
I was going to PM you the link for where I got my shirt, but it looks like my account is too new to do that. You can get the shirt at Jinx.com
(Apologies to everyone else for going off topic)

Many good choices
I say pick an era like late 1920s or early 1930s, what comes to mind are "The Sand Pebbles" and "The Wind and the Lion", now 1940s, 1950s?

Miller's Crossing. One of my favorite films of all time.
Dark City (though not techically golden era, it has a great noir feel and look)
Angel Heart
Fallen Angels (original Showtime series of 6 noir shorts) Never released on DVD. Worth searching for on VHS. Two volumes.
Fallen Angels II (Released abroad as Perfect Crimes only in PAL format DVD). Never released in US in any format.
Public Eye (find on VHS if you can. Never released on DVD)
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (Steve Martin Noir spoof)
