Pop culture perfectionists can thank TV's "Mad Men" for two frighteningly accurate period films of late. In last September's "The Informant!," Steven Soderbergh served up a pitch-perfect portrait of 1990's Illinois. (Take it from one who was there.) And in her telling of the band that spawned Joan Jett and Lita Ford, "The Runaways" director Floria Sigismondi shows 1970's southern California in all its gritty glory, through the eyes of the teenage girls who just wanted to rock on and get out.
