#27: What is the most beautiful and inspiring garden or pastoral setting in a film?
Beautiful cinematic gardens abounded in our last fight with Kylez taking the prize compliments of Beatrix Potter. This week he asks:
What is the best movie set in the Great Depression but made after it?
The Rules:
Post your answer as a comment. Make it clear that this is your official answer, one per member.
No profanity. No pornography.
Defend your answer in the comments fight it out against other MFC members’ answers for the rest of the week.
Whoever gets the most likes on their official answer comment (and only that comment) by Friday night wins the fight. You may like (heart, whatever) as many answers as you want.
The winner gets the honor of posting the next question the following Saturday.
In the case of a tie, the member who posted the question will decide the winner.
Notes:
Only movies will qualify (no TV shows, or documentaries); however, films that air on television or streaming (BBC films, a stand-alone mini-series) will qualify.
Your answer can be as off-the-wall or controversial as you’d like. It will be up to you to defend it and win people to your side.Â
Fight it out.

Cinderella Man.
It captures the gravity of surviving that period through the eyes of a successful boxer who lost everything but his family. It's one of the best sports movies but it's really more about doing hard things in desperation to help the ones you love.
Great cast, great acting, writing, directing.
The Sting
One of the two pairings of two of the great movie stars, Redford and Newman. Robert Shaw is a great villain (as he was in From Russia with Love.) Marvelous set design and clothes. And how can one not smile when one hears the music of Scott Joplin. There are some very good films mentioned here, but for once the Academy was right when it said this was the best picture.
