1. The Age of Innocence (1993)
Rewind back to the nineteenth-century where a romance tangles itself into the depths of New York's high society. Ironically-titled, The Age of Innocence paints a love triangle between a young wealthy lawyer, Newland Archer; his socialite fiancée, May Welland; and May's cousin, a debutante unbound by convention. The hunger for passion with a scandalous socialite depicts unforgiving hypocrisy amongst New York's elitist—exploring the theme of public versus private self within the social construct of the 1870s.
