It's not about the movies themselves but for example with Bourne or the American, it's certain scenes that get me in a mood. A single professional or group doing his / its thing, it's kind of calming.
Feel free to suggest movies in a similar vain.
A Very Private Gentleman by Martin Booth. While the movie "The American" is based on this book, it's vastly stylistically different and I love both equally. The book is a conversation essentially between a man with a past and a priest. It delves into the essence of what we think we are as men. But ultimately we die alone, no matter what. It sounds depressing but gave me a lot of stoic feelings without actually reading stoicism.
Been looking forward to reading it again almost a decade since reading it for the first time.
The American. A quiet, mature film, the way they used to make them.
