The silver screen has long been the domain of sexy starlets and classic beauties, and the film industry's influence on fashion is certainly undeniable.

From the 1930s through to the present day, Carol Lee over at Papermag lists 40 films that will whet your appetite for fashion. From the classic styling of Kim Novak in Hitchcock's Vertigo, to Faye Dunaway's iconic look in Bonnie and Clyde, to Angelina Jolie's Gia. Interestingly enough it seems The Devil Wears Prada didn't make the cut on this list.

Not all obvious choices, so worth a look.

I must confess to never having seen the following:

The Garden of Allah (1936), Desire (1936) & Kismet (1944)
How To Marry A Millionaire (1953)
The Wild One (1953)
The V.I.P.s (1963) & Boom! (1968)
Belle de Jour (1967)
Two For The Road (1967)
Prime Cut (1972)

Amoung others. Can anyone give recommendations?

Does that mean it's time for a movie night Tania?

i was delighted to see a bollywood movie on the list, wait kismet isnt an indian flick lol! havent seen more than half the flicks seems to be written by someone really old!
