Best of list: the year's most stylish movies

This is the list to the year's most stylish movies. Though The Dark Knight is the year's highest grossing film, it was a cable character that made the strongest fashion impression - Don Draper. Indiana Jones and Tony Stark's duds are, idiosyncratic at best, and sure Bond had a flick out, but it was Jon Hamm's classic suits that had us watching


Much has been made of the pairing of Kate Winslet and Leonard DiCaprio, but we're far more interested in Revolutionary Road's channelling of this retro Draperish aesthetic.



Brad Pitt lately has been about three things: Jolie (duh), skinny mustaches, and three-piece suits. They all (kinda) come together in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.



Gomorrah promises to do for Napolitan gangster what Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels did for wannabe cockney gangsters. Still, our vote for the best flick of the year.



Last year David Fincher did the 70s in Zodiac. This year, Gus Van Sant does the honors in Milk. Tight short shorts, and even tigher tees, Milk's sartorial trademarks show the best of San Francisco's Castro, but also what made the 70s style inspiration for Boogie Nights, Velvet Goldmine and '54.
