10 Classic Movies About Deeply Flawed Men According to MovieWeb

"Classic films are often associated with a certain innocence. Many think they were made in a time of heavy censorship, with melodramatic stories exclusively about virtuous heroes that couldn't match the grit and realism of modern films. While there is some truth to the censorship and melodrama in these older films, The core of this concern is based on ignorance. There is a wealth of exceptional classic films that paved the way for all the films that followed, with many of them containing the heavy themes and ideas that we celebrated the more modern films for having. Movies about violence, immorality, mental illness, and other mature topics with imperfect people as the focus abounded and inspired the filmmaker that would come after. Here are ten classic films about misguided men that prove that mature, powerful films have been present since the earliest days of the medium." - movieweb.com
