THE TEN: Movies With The Best Style (That You May Not Have Considered)
There are thousands, no, probably millions of movies out there, and we definitely haven’t seen them all, but we’ve come up with a list of movies that we have seen that we think have awesome style. We aren’t going to be cliche and pick the ‘Sex and the City Movie,’ or ‘Breakfast At Tiffany’s’ because those are givens. These are just a few that you may not have thought of (in no particular order):
1. The Golden Compass- Nicole Kidman is so killer in this movie. All of the floor length, fur-lined coats and the glamourous dresses are to die for.
2. Loser- So much 90s grunge, so much goth from Mena Suvari, so many motorcycle pads. We love it.
3. Once Upon A Time In Mexico- Enrique pre-mole removal days+Johnny Dep post 21 Jump Street days = good movie. This is a great good cop, bad cop flick with Spanish-infused styling.
4. Romeo and Juliet- The prime Leo days, the costuming for this modern-day Romeo and Juliet film is flawless. Minus the sole patch
5. Rear Window- This is one of my favorite films ever, detection at it’s finest, and tons of old-school glamour (Grace Kelly is a dream!). This trailer isn’t too good, check out the film for the full effect
6. Black Dahlia- Old school glam, total pinup style. We love Scarlett Johansson in red lipstick.
7. Gangs of New York- Leo does it again! (and how sweet is that part when all of those guys have top hats on)
8. Cruel Intentions- Ultimate country club kids, plus Sarah Michelle Geller wears a ton of sexy lingerie.
9. Sky Captain- I’m a huge fan of women being badasses. Gwenyth is still total glam and sexy while being a badass, and Angelina is just, well, being as hot as she is in every other movie.
10. Domino-Kiera Knightly as a bounty hunter that still wears red lipstick despite being a total badass? Win.
11. Hedwig and the Angry Inch- We had to include one more on this list because Hedwig has the craziest rock-tranny style ever! Not only that, the members of ‘her’ band make great rock stars (for the 80s), and then there is her little goth boyfriend. All sorts of styles going on in this film, and all sorts of greatness
What films do you think have the best style?
Anna Wintour Doesn’t Really Care That You’re Broke
What else has greeted me this weekend but the September issue of Vogue. I had thankfully seen a preview of the awful cover, so I was not as alarmed when I saw Kiera Knightly, her matted hair and her never ending torso on the cover. But I am not here to bag on the Kiera Knightly cover, even though the cover image has nothing to do with the 1920’s glamour look she has in the editorial. No. Instead I would like to bring your attention to a quote from Anna Wintour’s letter from the editor. I will bring it to your attention because I doubt you will find it in the 658 pages of ads that are wedged in between every page of real content.
“In putting together these stories, we were always conscious that fashion may not be, in this period of economic and political uncertainty, at the forefront of our readers’ minds. We’ve tried, therefore, to edit the collection with value for money in mind-”
Yes that’s why this issue is jammed with J. Mendel $4,500 dollar dresses, Zac Posen couture gowns, and a boat painted by Jeff Koons for some crazy rich guy!
All I have to say is: Get over yourself Anna Wintour! It’s fashion. You’re not curing anything!
