You might add Mesrine to that list too.
At least the Godfather had decent music.
But the big question is - how much of your view can you base on a film? Don't take me wrong - what you are describing here jibes well with what I know (and seen) about Brazil, but let's face it - if my opinion of the US was based on its films, I would be running for cover somewhere in Novosibirsk by now.
Truth be told - that is exactly how a significant part of the world sees us - based on my many conversations.
So how does one gauge the realism of a shocker?
