  • American Hustle - Yet another favorite, and it’s based on a true story. With an amazing cast of Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner, and so much more, this movie is set in the 1970s. You know what that mean . . . Amazing fashion trends with an amazing soundtrack. Bale and Adams play con artists who are caught by the FBI, but instead of jailing the cons the FBI uses them in their under cover sting to screw over a well-loved mayor. Need we say more?
