Clothes make the movie
"The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" opens Wednesday. It is hard to think of any other movie where a pair of pants play such an important part of the script.
There have been other pieces of wardrobe that have been important to movies. Take for instance the 1985 Tom Hanks film "The Man With One Red Shoe." I don't know if you can count "Sneakers." The 1992 Robert Redford movie was more about computers.
Other movies with important wardrobes include "The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit" (1956), "27 Dresses" (2008), "The Tuxedo" (2002) and "Top Hat" (1935).
Apparently it is sunglasses that have made the biggest fashion statements in film.
Dr. Harvey Moscot, of Moscot Eyewear and Eyecare in New York, has released a list of what he considers the top 10 movies made all that more interesting by sunglasses. It is a list so bright, you have to wear shades.
Here's his list:
10. "Men in Black"
9. "Midnight Run"
8. "Blade"
7. "Cool Hand Luke"
6. "Top Gun"
5. "Reservoir Dogs"
4. "The Matrix"
3. "Risky Business"
2. "The Terminator"
1. "Blues Brothers"
The list also includes th honorable mentions of "Taxi Driver," "The Big Lebowski," "Dirty Harry," "The Lost Boys" and "Easy Rider."
