Hey Shack !
I'm wondering... The game setting thread got me thinking: Is there a name specifically for the NOLF 1/2 setting ? Its the spy 1950s-1960s theme, but its more specific than that, with the bright colors, wacky dresses, music, etc...
here are some screenshots and images (from OSS 117 which has this setting too). I'm a complete sucker for this setting, and I can't get enough of it. I keep replaying those games and rewatching that movie.

Also Evil Genius
so is the name just "1960s spy movies with kinda flower power vibe/macho vibe" ?-
I need to see this movie and this is my new desktop http://images.themoviedb.org/backdrops/29048/oss117riofan1.jpg
I think if I had to put a name to it it would be 1960's mod style maybe? I'm not sure.-
Yup as soon as I saw the picture I googled it, watched the trailer, and then found out netflix has it on instant watch so I shall be watching it tonight.

both movies are fucking amazing. he's such a fucking racist/macho obnoxious prick, but super classy and so stupid we love him anyway. the actor is really good too, really expressive.

Isn't that what they used to call "mod?"
-
Yup.
-
looking at "mod" on wikipedia... it looks much more vast that that specific setting... ah well i see I wasn,t exacly missing an exact term, it seems to be pretty vague for everyone...

Seconding this, although it can venture into psychedelic territory.
