Casino

IMDb Rating – 8.2

In Casino, Martin Scorsese brought together Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci even before The Irishman (2019). The story kicks off in flashy 1960s Las Vegas, wrapping up amid the less glamorous 1980s.

American Psycho

Afternoon Delight

IMDb Rating – 5.7

To spice things up, Rachel takes Jeff to a strip club, where they meet Juno Temple’s character, McKenna, a full-time sex worker who later becomes their live-in nanny. Despite the unusual situation, Rachel and McKenna form an unexpected bond. Afternoon Delight, liked by Quentin Tarantino, is a funny and awkward movie. Even though it has a lesser rating than other movies on the list, it has been liked by many.
