- Road to Perdition - Depression-era gangster flick set in the Midwest around the Chicago area.
- Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow - An alternate history direct from a pulp magazine full of 1940s style.
- The Thirteenth Floor - Half the movie is set in "modern" times and half of it in a simulation of 1930s Los Angeles.
- Indiana Jones - Set in the 30s and 40s it features a lot of iconic objects like the Boeing 314 Clipper.
- Gattaca - Actually set in the future but with a retro styling completely reminiscent of art deco.
- Bioshock - Not really a movie but this video game is almost one in its own right. Set in a 1960s submarine city that was straight out of the 1940s.
- Crimson Skies - Also not a movie, but this game exists in a dystopian alternate history where rigid airships ply the skies with other 1940s aircraft.
