Let us know in the comments!
THE LIST
The Fifth Element (1997)
Costumes by: John Paul Gaultier
What CAN’T we say about the costumes in the Fifth Element? Is there any character whose personality is better summed up by his outfit than Ruby Rhod - in Sci Fi or otherwise?
Hero (2002)
The spate of wire fu movies in the early 2000s featured some beautiful movements, but the costume design was equally as evocative. We pick Hero for its truly masterful execution of a series of color palettes.
A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)
Costumes By: Lucinda Ballard
Marlon Brando doesn’t need too much help to look cool. But, the costumes in Streetcar did so with a deft hand.
The Royal Tennenbaums (2001)
Costumes By: Karen Patch
Wes Anderson movies are defined by their visual style, and the Royal Tennenbaums is possibly the best example.
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)
Costumes by: Alexandra Byrne
The gowns, dresses, and even armor Queen Elizabeth dons over the course of this film are opulent and excessive, but completely appropriate to the story, set in a world where nobles’ garb was performance.
Grease (1978)
Costume Design: Albert Wolsky
C’mon. The Pink Ladies and the Thunderbirds are the epitome of 50s cool. And while John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John can take some credit for Danny and Sandy’s cool factor, his leather jacket and her sweater set (or leather pants) have to be acknowledged as well.
The Seven Year Itch
Costumes by: William Travilla
Marilyn Monroe. White dress. Subway Vent. ‘Nuff Said.
Casino (1995)
Costumes by: John Dunn
Men’s costumes can be just as iconic as a woman’s dress, and that fact is on spectacular display in Martin Scorsese’s Casino.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)
Costumes By: Edith Head
Audrey Hepburn was never less than glamorous, and nowhere is that on better display than this iconic film.
Wizard of Oz (1939)
Costumes by: Adrian
This film’s characters are instantly recognizable by their costumes, even when far away, down the Yellow Brick Road. That’s iconic
You guys are like Watchmojo if they actually knew what they were talking about.
Cinefix is more film study and appreciation than WatchMojo. WatchMojo is more popular vote. I wouldn't say WatchMojo doesn't know what they're talking about...they use votes from users. Cinefix does mislead a little bit with the titles of their videos, though. They categorize each number on their lists (from what I've seen so far), so it's not really a ranking of the "Top 10" per say. It's really 10 categories in the list and their top of each category.
mrnocal I’ve noticed that too, and it made me like this channel more, their knowledge of cinema is amazing, like I couldn’t believe they knew Parajanov and his “the color of the pomegranates”. And yeah their titles can be misleading.
Sorry about I don’t know why that’s even compared. It’s like saying shawshank redemption being compared with the room lol. Proper art vs popular for the wrong reasons haha
1-800 oof
You took the words right out of my mouth!
I'd love to see a video on how you guys make one of these top 10 lists
I mean.. We wrote a script, Clint records the v/o and then we edit the clips together. There's not a ton of interesting "how to" to it really lol 😊
Unless you mean all the yelling about picks lol
Yup. The yelling about picks, the deciding of categories, the ranking, all that
+CineFix I'm interested in your research process....You guys seem to have a deep knowledge on movie history and movie making.
+mattwandcow Ditto. I like the scheme tho of picking a category. Breaking it out into sub-categories, ranking them accordingly and picking the BEST representation from movies for each category. It's better than saying "This one is #1 cuz it's awesome." You clearly see thought into why #8 is 8 and #3 is 3 and the one representing it isn't why, just the best example.
top ten best movie soundtracks
failingtobeoriginal Thats the hardest top ten ever
failingtobeoriginal John Williams would be in at least 5 of those top ten spots.
James Horner (R.I.P.), Hans Zimmer, Elmer Bernstein and Howard Shore (for the LOTR soundtracks alone - which are a STRONG contender for number one) would round it out.
I love soundtracks, my favorite genre of music. Kind of a connoisseur, you might say...
L.D. Johnson
OH YEAH, If they do this top ten, I was kinda hoping the Serenity soundtrack would be on it. NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THIS SOUNDTRACK!!! EVEN IF THEY'VE SEEN THE MOVIE BUT IT IS SO GORGEOUS!!! Check it out.
Man of steel, sunshine, Star Wars, superman
I would need at least a Top 20, if not Top 30, to cover even the most basic. Though if they made it more specific, like "Top 10 Sci-Fi Movie Soundtracks" or "Top 10 Non-Orchestral Movie Soundtracks" it might be easier to give full credit where it is due.
Top 10 Best Movie Posters
Dr. Olympus top 100 movie posters
Top 50 movie posters!
Sidartha Top 500 Movie Posters
Blake Kneipp anatomy of a murder is the greatest movie poster of all time.
Dr. Olympus Top 5000 movie posters
Grace Kelly in rear window. That opening dress was stunning
All her outfits are amazing in this movie :) I don't get why she's not on that list
Both Rear Window and To Catch a Thief. The blue dress she wears in To Catch a Thief might be my favourite movie dress of all time.
IzzyGyrl Love that black & white dress. It is my favorite movie dress of all time.
The costumes in both Rear Window and To Catch a Thief were done by Edith Head.
Honestly, I think Brando's coolness has more to do with well, himself, than his t-shirt and slacks.
+Nevi1097 Yes and no. The difference is that even if he hadn't worn the iconic t-shirt as a t-shirt but instead as an undershirt for a shirt, he would still look cool. But because he worn something that in that time wasn't the norm, yet so normal (everyone wore t-shirts as undershirts), plus the coolness of Brando himself did the outfit make Brando even cooler, and made the outfit synonymous with being cool. Now if the outfit was worn with a less cool person let's say Charlie Chaplin, the outfit wouldn't be considered cool, and we might never have worn a t-shirt on any given day as a t-shirt just like we do now a days.
Sooo.. yeah, Brandos coolness made the outfit cool, which made the character cooler because he wore that outfite. or something like that.
Nevi1097 shouldn't be on this list, he was half naked in a streetcar.
Von Charles I know Dean fans tend to gloss over the fact that Dean was copying Brando in every single detail. Everyone knew it then and it’s obvious now. Brando made T-shirts and jeans a legit male fashion. It wasn’t so before Brando.
Dwight Breton van Groll excellently put
Nevi1097 Before there was Brando there was Clark Gable. In one scene he destroyed the undershirt industry.
Cinefix>Watchmojo
Very true
If only these guys uploaded as much as mojo id love them even boy
It's always really great to see channels like this which really put in their research for these types of videos. It's obvious that the Cinefix guys knowmore than their fair share about film.
Watchmojo just puts whatever they think will upset the least amount of people.
Johnny Conker It's not even comparable
Hell yeah
“man was he cool!”
you can just say it
he was hot as fuck
even straight men can acknowledge that
My Fair Lady had amazing gowns
Audrey Hepburn had style in every movie.
The all black and white scene at the Ascot horse race is a tour de force. And when Eliza goes to the ball in a crystal covered evening gown with a burgundy velvet over coat and tiara, it doesn't get any better!
Send help. I can't stop watching.
Tyler Gray ikr 😂 i binge watched all their lists!
Cinefix, I am an enormous fan of these lists. They seem to be compiled by true film-lovers with serious depths of knowledge in film history and film language.
I think a great list would be to do a top 10 list on the most important/influential film movements, such as German Expressionism, French New Wave and South Korean and Japanese New Wave Cinema.
This would introduce your audience to not only films they are not aware of but entire genres/sub-genres of some of the best films ever made, while also outlining the evolution of film.
Another possible top ten list could focus on B-Movie Exploitation genres, such as Sexploitation, Blaxploitation & even Ozploitation (being Australian, I have a particular love for Aussie B-Movies).
Anyway, just to reiterate I really am a huge fan of these lists and the amount of research and effort that clearly accompanies the production of each video, I wait in anticipation for the next release!
Ben Braddock Love both of these ideas
BenschMan2012 Glad to hear there are others out there who love Aussie Schlock! I would recommend the documentary 'Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation', which is an awesome genre based map to Aussie B-Movies (funnily enough, Quentin Tarantino features heavily and knows a shitload about Australian Schlock!).
I have a few favourites, one being Australia's attempt at Jaws called Razorback from 1984 about a giant boar killing people in the outback. Another great one is The Man From Hong Kong from 1975 which was an attempt to capitalise on the popular kung-fu movies of the time (which also stars George Lazenby, the only Aussie Bond).
You really have to figure out what you like, but I would also recommend Long Weekend, The Cars That Ate Paris, Turkey Shoot, Patrick and Dead End Drive In! Hope this is helpful, happy watching!
Ben Braddock I have done little dabbling in Australian B-movie film in my inconsiderable life span, but I have seen one that I'm not sure if I hate or like called "Primal" (2010). For what it was worth, I recall some very memorable imagery, concepts, suspense, and decent acting all things considered being it was a B-movie horror flick and all. Definitely worth a watch if horror doesn't turn you astray and you want that Aussie flair (it does seem as though their acting is, just like their British cousins, a grade above normal Hollywood trash).
I know. These Top 10 lists are so much more authentic and intelligent than the Watchmojo lists, which feel like they're made by robots.
They took your suggestion!
I just can't ever agree with a fantasy movie wardrobe topping the Lord of the Rings trilogy. That amount of work that went into designing those costumes (and armor and weapons and really everything physical object in those movies) is insane and beautiful.
Wizard of Oz is still good, though.
Audrey Hepburn's wardrobe in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' was exclusively designed by Givenchy. Edith Head had little to do with it. She oversaw the making of some of the costumes and was responsible for designing the ones worn by the rest of the cast (apart from Patricia Neal, whose clothes were designed by Pauline Trigère). But in terms of costume iconography, it was all Hepburn and Givenchy.
I'm glad to see someone post this. Edith Head's contract stipulated that she receive sole credit for designing the wardrobe despite the fact that she didn't design anything Hepburn or Neal wore.
And how can you mention Givenchy and Hepburn without talking about Sabrina?
You guys should also watch Funny Face. That movie’s whole purpose was to show how amazing the Hepburn-Givenchy combination is.
"costume iconography"
Who cares, George Peppard's suits are good in that movie too. Both deserve a mention.
A note about Neal & Hepburn.
They worked hard to keep
Neal in the past; in the fifties as an interior designer with a Kept man.
And Hepburn was all about the
Now of the sixties, elegant, chic, modern and yet Classic. Like the
"Schiaparelli" Pink gown she wears on a date with the man from Brazil,
Awesome!
Scarlett O'Hara's courtain dress is pretty iconic.
+Alex Hulubas love those green draperies!
Should have made the list for sure
And a sub-category of costume that was made by the character inside the story and is part of the plot. Like the Pedro for President T-shirt in Napoleon Dynamite, or the play-clothes in Sound of Music.
I know right!
Alex Hulubas She saw it in a window and just couldn’t resist it
Memoirs of a Geisha! Wonderfull mix between the geisha costumes, the mens' suits and the ordinary peoples' clothes.
4 years late, but yes. Yes.
Barry Lyndon, one of the most beautiful films ever made, didn't even get a mention!?
+Alon Shechter It did get a mention in a previous video.
I'd say Barry Lyndon is more beautiful for its use of natural lighting, and while its costume design is fantastic, so are a lot of other period pieces. Also, I think they included it on a "Most beautiful films" list.
Thomas Headley Yes, and... ?
Thomas Headley Yes. I know. It's amazing. I don't see how it correlates to movie wardrobes, though.
Yes but no mention of the Duellists either.
Am surprised there wasn't a single horror mention for costume, especially after the beautiful costumes in Francis Ford Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula"
Nocturne Accipitridae Well, I'd agree that horror may have deserved it's own category, but the awkward thing would be that any horror with a notable wardrobe could easily fall under the other categories, such as sci-fi, fantasy, or a period piece. In which case they could simply be said to have been blown out of the water by their competition.
While that is true, that they could be classed along with those other categories they can exist in a wide range of time periods from lush gothic costumes from movies such as the aforementioned Bram Stokers Dracula, to Lugosi's Dracula with a costume that is iconic and instantly recognisable. To more modern takes on the genre from movies such as Blades mixture of modern and old world aesthetics. I just feel to not give the genre a mention at all is a large oversight, when it contains some of cinemas most iconic costumes some now approaching their 100 year anniversaries and are still common sites each Halloween, they're designs that have endured and remained timeless far more so than many in the top 10. There's a wonderful feature on the Stoker Costumes where a large amount of the budget was given over to them in that they should be a character in and of themselves, and even referencing classic works with Dracula's final outfit referencing Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss" I really recommend it.
Agreed! And also Pans Labyrinth
Despite it's current popularity in the last few months, I still would have gone for Mel Gibson's look as Mad Max in 'Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior'. Talk about telling a character history. The black leather uniform issued to road police. The missing right sleeve as a result of an arm being ran over a broken and was removed by a surgeon. The braced left knee as a result of a shot out knee cap. The right shoulder pad as a form of protection from driving on the right hand side in Australia. 'The tool' vest with dangling spanners to do quick repairs on the fly on his vehicle. Iconic badass.
gutz1981 It's even in Fallout.
gutz1981 "Despite it's current popularity in the last few months" spoken like a true hipster ;)
Solud Snak Whatever that means, if that's good I'm that.
Not only Max's costume, but the other characters as well. The Gyro Captain wears a flower over his left breast and a scarf on his neck, which symbolizes his good heart in a horrible world. The Humungus has several military related attire hidden on him. Not only that, but the "goons" were actually given histories to their otherwise "disposable" to aid in their costume design. Which is amazing, because Miller sets it up to where they're not just faceless goons to get killed; they're actual people in that world who are the main characters in their own stories.
gutz1981 I came here to also toss out some Mad Max love
You thought Marie Antoinette was Victorian , no Georgian , you're 200 years off
Melroone THANK YOU. Finally.....
@@pixiebells Americans tend to think of everything British between 1066 and WWI as Victorian.
Anyway, she was French so it wasn't called Georgian or Victorian...
Since you chose whole movies rather than single costumes in most cases, you are forgiven for not mentioning Audrey Hepburn's race day costume in My Fair Lady and Danny Kaye's Edith Head all gray costume in his dance with Vera Ellen in White Christmas. Since you made Wizard of Oz number 1, you are forgiven.
yea i was kind of surprised they didnt mention Audrys race day costume xD i think its a classic. It manages to both be ridiculous and attractive. at least to me.
Or all of the costumes, I thought they emboddied the characters beautifully. Especially Eliza's, from poor "guttersnipe" to "overdressed and doesn't know what she's doing" to "princess" to "refined woman". Contrasted with Henry Higgins, whose outfit screams obnoxious academic and doesn't change for pretty much entire movie.
I think that the Great Gatsby (2013) should have beat Grease. Great Gatsby even won an Oscar for their costumes. Just my opinion...
+BLKK10139 wich version they were both good and ralph is my go to designer....esp his blacklable stuff could be pulled from that film
Hell, also didnt seem to get any Moulin Rouge. Im ending the video early. The Elzabeth the Golden age was just a joke. Clearly they know nothing about costuming.
Grease was a weak choice for this list
I liked Ralph Lauren’s version of the 20s better than Buz Luhrman’s
The Fifth Element and The Royal Tenenbaums should be switched on this list. Jean Paul Gaultier put so much meticulous work into those costumes and they all tell a different story.
Todd Begay Agreed.
+eyespliced i would use cook isnted of firfth element
Todd Begay It feels like not all of these lists are in a ranked order so much as each is the winner of its own category and they are all presented as equals. one reason I like CineFix so much, actually, as it authentically explores the many dimensions of each by oven topic without the banality of having to rank them all
In honour of Rick Baker retiring, how about the Top Ten Best Animatronic Effects?
Deborah Kerr in the King and I's dress. Definitely an unforgettable iconic dress.
Priscilla Queen of the Desert without even an honorable mention? Now I'm sad.
I think the producers of this channel would find it too pedestrian
Cinefix - best moments of drag in film! That would be a fabulous list
I agree
The Lord of the Rings Wardrobe was miles better than the Wizard of us in my opinion
I think one of the best wardrobes is from "The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert"
No Rocky Horror Picture Show? I feel offended.
Only children haven't heard of Edith Head.
I love Streetcar Named Desire, but Brando's wardrobe in it was pretty inconsequential. His acting and body language made that character.
Oh, of course!
Stace D Thank you. James Dean in Rebel was the better option.
Audrey Hepburn could have been given a paper bag and she would have made it work. She never looked anything short of stunning.
Jodhaa Akbar was pretty amazing too. The costumes in that film got stuck in my head for months. So beautiful.
Talking about period piece clothing and not a single mention of Barry Lyndon?
That's what I say
Surely Rocky Horror Picture Show deserved a mention. Everything from Columbia's glitter assemble to the hilarious alien suits at the very end, all remarkable and on some level ridiculous.
There weren’t many movies that captured the glam rock look!
for dresses, you should have mentioned Myrna Loy's Nora Charles from the Thin Man movies. Even her nightgowns are fabulous.
Amen!
The Sissi trilogy! Which few of you will know and unless very sappy, not exactly historically sound period dramas about weird Austrian monarchs are your thing, you won't miss much.
Mostly just super intricate and exceedingly well-made period costumes, but paired with the beautiful coloring and the stunning scenery... it's nice.
Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet!
How about "American Gigolo"? Richard Gere was stylin'.
what about the WARRIORS? THE WARRIORS?? they had alot of great costume designs.
Hmmm, despite the aversion towards choosing "recent popular movies", I think LOTR should've won a spot on this list. A dozen different styles, with hundreds of variations on each theme, a huge number of people working on making them... it outdid every period piece made to date. So maybe Oz wins on being iconic, but that's just one criteria. The sheer ingenuity and achievement of LOTR's costumes puts several other movies that did win a spot on this list to shame.
Yea, i dont think Oz really pushed it as far as it could have being that its kind of in a different world/dimension/whatever. It very much just seemed caricatures of what a child would think of each thing as, not building on that, or giving all the characters wardrobe an aspect that links them all as being somewhere other than "home". I understand the time, and that its a "kids movie". But i dont think the wardrobe holds up to the rest of the list.
I suppose the Oz costumes be seen as a breakthrough for their time, given that movies were really only starting to grasp what they could do with Fantasy settings. However these costumes certainly don't stand the test of "All Time" (as the title claims), and in all honesty the designs and manufacture of these costumes weren't even that revolutionary within their period of history. Back to my rant above, on the other hand, the LOTR costume people had to put in what was a colossal effort to make their costumes, even considering all of the advancement we've made in the past 100 years of movie magic. Every single costume in that movie - and there are literally hundreds (if not thousands!) - is entirely unique, meticulously thought out in relation to every other costume, and painstakingly created from scratch.
P.S. I made the Opening Post above almost a year ago, when I was just starting to watch CineFix. But now that I've seen practically every list video they've made, I can see a deeper pattern here: They simply prefer selecting _unexpected_ entries for their lists over what might be considered "obvious" picks, even when the obvious pick far outstrips the unexpected pick in terms of sheer brilliance. In other words, they look like they've consciously set out to be the "anti-WatchMojo", but they've gone too far in the opposite direction: WatchMojo seem to always pick the popular and obvious films over anything else, showing no real expertise in cinema whatsoever beyond the mundane, whereas CineFix seem to always pick the obscure and unexpected over anything else, seemingly to brag about their extensive expertise. I do prefer CineFix by far, but their way often leads me to a lot of frustration, and it certainly doesn't earn them as much respect from me as they seem to think they deserve... :/
Headrock I just started watching a bunch of their videos today, and despite not being even an avid movie watcher, I noticed that too. xD And so far I'm most entranced with the descriptors of movies I've heard of a thousand times but never watched, and the technical and artistic information and concepts. So the order doesn't even bother me, but with one bugs me because I don't even feel like it makes sense on the list, let alone first on the list. But that's just from someone who knows very little about movies and cinematography let alone classics etc.
Yes, that's pretty much my sentiment too. I don't begrudge them for the order at all (the order really doesn't matter, actually - they disclaim it themselves). It's more a question of which movies they do put emphasis on, what they showcase front and center, and what they leave in the background with brief footage or passing mentions (or, none at all). Sometimes their picks are spot-on, but at other times they just leave me scratching my head in amazement that they've skipped a fantastic example altogether, or given it a tiny bit of lip service, seemingly _only_ because it is from a popular movie. They don't always do this, but often enough to irk me.
Maybe the real problem is that I've actually watched 99% of the movies they talk about, and sometimes I really don't agree that the movies they've picked are really the ones deserving the highest acclaim - at least not as high as an "obvious" movie pick that should truly be celebrated. Case in point, just imagine how much they _could_ have said about the LOTR costumes had they picked it as #1...
You had to have deliberately not chosen Lord of the Rings
That's what I was thinking.
TALOS HAS COME TO GUIDE US!
Thanoosh Ravi Talos has come to tell you that Lord Of The Rings has amazing costume design.
I totally agree. And if it was going to lose it should have lost to better than the Wizard of Oz, which is Iconic, but lacked finesse.
Lacked finesse? Oz is the magical dream land of a little girl, and I think it perfectly encapsulated that with its creative and childish costumes. Also, it was made almost 80 years ago.
I disagree so much with #1
haruno21 same
How can people not know Edith Head?! Nearly every great and classic film from over five decades of the 20th century came from Eddie! She was sewing til her dying day and thank God for it!
Oh and one I would've included for Period is Young Victoria.
There's even a song by
They Might Be Giants called
"She Thinks She's Edith Head".
My reaction exactly, but I remember that not everyone is a film tragic like us.
She's mentioned by William H. Macy's character in State and Main - "Who designed this costume? It looks like Edith Head puked and that puke designed these costumes!"
Pricilla queen of the desert. Amazing costumes with next to no budget to create them.
I think they could've made an entire different category on just drag clothing. Ranging from simple drag disguises Tootsie and Some Like It Hot, to all out drag fests like Priscilla: Queen of the Desert, Pink Flamingoes, and Rocky Horror.
You clearly need more knowledgeable gay men on your panel because #myfairlady
Unfortunately you have credited "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover" to France, when in actual fact it is British! It did though have JPG as costume designer, along with starring Gambon and Mirren.
I always loved the costumes from Juno. They all play to the "quirky, ironic, hipster " thing without being too overdone. At least in my opinion. I know Juno is set in the present, and the clothes are very ordinary, but the way they're styled always seemed very impressive to me. Sometimes it's the little things that stand out.
DaBagelSquad agreed! I remember reading that Juno always wears a skirt over her jeans because she thinks it looks cool, but makes sure to take it off before seeing bleaker because they’re close enough that he’d joke about it. That’s the kind of subtle wardrobe ques that really flesh out personality
This list JUST missed Man From U.N.C.L.E.- the costuming in that movie was GORGEOUS
What about best one-liners.
I fucking love this channel! (Excuse my english, my motherfucking english).
Talking about suits in movies and not giving the spot to James Bond is sacrilege
BlazerManiacNumber96 exactly.
Ummmmm excuse me ☝🏽
Why wasn’t any of the clothes from Hunger Games on this list??!?!!?
Im not extremely mad but I’m just disappointed 😔
IM SORRY BUT THE FACT SCARLET OHARAS DARK PURPLE DRESS FROM GONE WITH THE WIND WASNT MENTIONED... omg!
Annie Mckinney right?!??
while I get the wizard of Oz, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, what about James Dean's iconic red jacket. That thing is more recognizable then brandos sweaty shirt.
charlie prescott agreed. It defined a generation. A symbol of teen angst. Brando looked good though, but in terms of which costume speaks to me more it would have to be the red jacket.
James Dean’s look wouldn’t have existed without Brando.
Finally you guys give some love to Casino. Truly an underrated masterpiece. The moment I saw this video recommended to me, I knew Casino had to be on here. I need De Niro's wardrobe from that movie.
Top 10 most shocking plot twists please
No mention of The Leopard?
Both of Tarsem Singh's movies were costumed by Eiko Ishioko and I'm saddened that you did not credit her. She was an immensely talented textile artist who only rarely forayed into movie costuming so she deserves all due credit whenever she can get it.
Natalie Woods wardrobe in "The Great Race". This is one of the greatest movies for comedy, music, and adventure ever!
RIP Edith Head, the greatest wardrobe designer of all time (in my own opinion at least).
Love these top ten lists, you guys don't over do it like watch mojo and you do ur research much better too. You guys make awesome videos, love art of the scene the most.
I know you guys are all about films, but I just gotta say that the costumes in Game of Thrones are so awesome as well. They show how a character develops, they are wonderfully made and they sometimes even make me stop the episode to get a closer look (especially Cerceis costumes).
"The width of a nipple hair" my new favorite phrase
edith head got one oscar for givenchy designs for sabrina
Th Untouchables really made me pay close attention to clothes
Oh thank god, I was waiting for Edith Head to be mentioned. She is the queen.
I HATE the Wizard of Oz but it did have some good costuming.
Any movie Audrey Hepburn was in. I remember my draw dropping in My Fair Lady, when she appeared in that Princess dress. She could wear a sack and make it look great.
Through the narration you were able to spread the butter of recognition just about everywhere. Off the top of my head, the only area you seemed to have missed was war wardrobe. The little bottle of bug spray in the helmet band can be the difference between bullshit and authenticity.
How the hell does The Curse of the Golden Flower not even get mentioned in this list, it won an oscar and everything was hand-made for the actors.
This made me go back to watch Elizabeth again :)
Top 10 all time Weapons.
I can't believe no Mad Max mention???
Not a fashionista... but pronunciation of Givenchy was jarring. Correct that please...
wheres mad max
Australia, probably.
A movie about fashion and fashion magazine, Funny Face, has some wonderful and varied "looks" for
Audrey Hepburn. Favorite scene, she being photographed at the
Louvre Museum, in a red silk chiffon evening gown and wrap that she lifts over her head, while coming down the stairs where the statue of Winged Victory is at top,
Hepburn saying emphatically,
"Take the picture, take the picture!"
"I can't stop!" Ravishing and totally glamorous!
I think Alien deserved a mention for sci-fi costumes, still the only sci-fi film where the costumes seemed useful, practical and realistic to my eye.
*****
For sure. I'm a massive fan of Alien, but never really liked Aliens.
The costumes in alien are great, but not so practical, especially the spacesuits.
+Guy K and while we are on spacesuits, how about the ones from Apollo 13, they sealed up just like the real ones, even had to pump air into them so the actors could breathe
Babylon 5 had great costumes.
Who's Edith Head ? Thank God for channels like yours otherwise young people would never know ! Only the MOTHER of OF ALL COSTUME DESIGNERS and a lot of them probably don't know it.
Edith Head got a fair boost in recognition from the choice to design Edna Mode in the Incredible after her, which is both a damning indictment of the under recognition she suffers from, and another reason to applaud the movie and it's occasional homages to elements of film history.
The costumes in Tarsem Singh's "The Fall" and "The Cell" were both designed by Eiko Ishioka; they also collaborated in "Mirror, Mirror" and "Immortals." Had she not passed away in 2012 - may she rest in peace -, I believe they would still be working together to this day. "The Cell" is my personal favorite work of her, but she won an Oscar for Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula." So, besides Eiko Ishioka being my favorite costume designer ever, I really love Deborah Nadoolman Landis' designs for "Coming to America."
Awesome video! Costume Design is one of the most important pillars of Cinema and it's great to see it being more and more recognized as such.
Was hoping to see a Jean-Pierre Melville film on the list, the trench coats, the hats, and the cigarettes are just too iconic
Not watched it yet, but Fifth Element had better be on here...
They had to trick Chris Tucker with even more outlandish costumes to get him to wear what was actually designed for Ruby Rhod.
EDIT: Hooray! No need for a rant about injustice ... 🧐
Top ten Steampunk films.
#6? The costumes in "Orlando" were much more impressive than "Elizabeth".
For one thing, they had to fit Tilda Swinton's character both for when she was a man and for when she was a woman.
Secondly, it didn't have Cate Blanchett in it so automatically it wins.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is from Taiwan, not China.
Ken Wong boohoo
Ken Wong ahhhh, but is there a difference? Is it not truly ALSO China? *intrigued slow eyebrow raise* Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
China would disagree. Taiwan is China over there. Just ask the airlines that had to change the destinations to China.
Them: “But who’s Edith head?”
Me: *looks at my movie costume design book I got when I was 12 and my book about her that I got when I was 14* “Let’s just say I know a bit about her.”
There's even a song
"She Thinks She's Edith Head"
by They Might Be Giants.
I literally screamed when I saw Breakfast at Tiffany's
To be honest, I think #3 should have been Gosling in Crazy, Stupid Love. There is one moment in that whole meh movie that makes it memorable, and it's the pan-up of Gosling's character.
Marie Antoinette?
What A Way To Go
Edith Head with seemingly an unlimited budget and imagination. Shirley MacLaine dressed to reflect each husband plus dressed for a mini movie reflecting her life with each husband.
Can you do a worst list?
I love your channel. I'm an actress & cinephile and I love that I'm constantly surprised by your top 10 picks. I can't predict, like I can other channels, what your top 10 will be & I like the format in which you present it. I even learn about films I wasn't aware of.
So gutted the missed Cinderella 2015. The costume in that movie was perfect.
The costumes from knives out were really good
(Although I guess the video was made 5 years ago, so it wouldn't have counted knives out)
the fifth element was amazing!!!
damn, it almost makes me sick, how knowledgable you guys are!!!!!!!
What real movie fan didn't already know who Edith Head was? Anyway, this is a pretty good list, reflecting a lot of thought and research. This is yet another subject that can't possibly be really covered in ten choices, but this was interesting nevertheless.
I am addicted to these! also learning about so many movies i've been meaning to see or haven't even heard of like "The Fall" for example.
aw I was hoping Star Wars would at least be mentioned for the fantasy choices
After watching your videos, I always check out the comment section to see if any generous soul have listed all the movies you mentioned or not. :)
