Where does this belong? I'm sitting here doing some bookkeeping and letterwriting watching "Survive Style 5+" (I dunno, it's a japanese movie, the title is gibberish) and the costumes on the main female character (the dead wife) are just fantastic. Is that personal style? Anyway, in this movie, the aesthetic is not at all SZ, but it's just fantastic. The movie is a surrealistic tour de force as well, but I'm curious where discussion of attire in movies belongs.

Takeshi Kitano's Takeshi's is a stylish movie...while Yohji gets the credits for costume design, i am not sure if it was just the outfits of the "real" Takeshi or the other one as well - needless to say Beat-san wears the black jacket/white hawaiian collar shirt/black pants look to perfection.
I also think Frank Booth's style in Blue Velvet is very slick...epitome of a depraved rogue look; if i was a psychopathic criminal i'd want to dress like that.
While I think many of Wong Kar Wai's films tend to be a bit on the contrived side in terms of styling, i just watched Fallen Angels the other day and I think Leon Lai's hitman look was carried with an effortless ease. In Hong Kong, a lot of times the characters actors occupy appear much more stylish than the performer's real life look (Tony Leung in Infernal Affairs?)...and what I dig the most about it is, I think a lot of stuff the characters wear is very ordinary clothing that by itself most people wouldn't give a second look at, like stuff shopped for in Kowloon street markets or the like...since it is unlikely that kind of character would be shopping at Joyce much. What a disappointment when the celebrities end up stepping out in designer gear and come across as so much more bland.

I would volunteer The Quick and the Dead. Yes, the Sharon Stone gunslinger flick.
The Matrix and Gattaca for sure.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde
