My Favorite Movie Costumes

Really? That terrible catwoman costume is on the list but not the iconic one? Interesting. What is it you like about the newer one?

People hated the movie, but the costumes were gorgeous...and I loved the fact that there was as much detail put into De Niro's clothes as there was in Minnelli's, they both looked incredible.

I think it does one thing that a good costume should do and that is be flattering to the actor's body and to me, it was.

I love the costumes in Funny Girl too, and Barbra looks amazing. Thought you'd have Cabaret, iconic clothes.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof



Taylor was so striking in this toga-like dress...as I've mentioned many times on these boards, I don't think Elizabeth Taylor has ever looked more beautiful onscreen than she did in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

Ah, OK. I disagree completely. I think it looked ridiculous and she looked terrible in it.

I love the original too...especially loved Paula Prentiss.

Liz looks great there. I would like to have seen the dress with a full petticoat under it. But that wouldn't have really fit her character.

Damn she looks so hot

OK, I think we just need to agree to disagree on this one, Honeykid.

Monica Howe, Bugsy Malone







Howe effectively managed to make children look like gangsters and nightclub singers.

Tom Rand, The French Lieutenant's Woman









Gothic and ethereal.

I haven't seen The French Lieutenant's Woman, but the costumes look lovely.

25.
Angus Strathie and Catherine Martin, Moulin Rouge









Baz Luhrman is a director all about the visual and what is pleasing to the eye and his choice of costume concept and design is no exception.

Daniel Orlandi, Down with Love









Cannot believe Orlandi didn't receive an Oscar nomination for his work here.

I really enjoyed the look of Moulin Rouge.

William Travilla, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes









Travilla made Russell and Monroe look breathtaking.

Mary Zophres, Catch Me if you Can









The costumes were just a part of the all over incredible visuals this movie provides.

I don't really like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, but it does look fantastic. The sets as well as the costumes.

I really like Catch Me If You Can and, for some reason, have always liked the look of the film.

I just now requested Catch Me if You Can andDown with Love. I had never heard of them until seeing Gideon's thread, thanks for posting them.
