The Cinematic Clothier

So Here are my favorite speculative fashion movies. This has nothing to do with logic or authenticity, though I do give filmmakers kudos for that. This is all about what I think looks cool.

Dune · Lush, beautiful, fantastic. I was fascinated by outfit worn by Feyd, it looked like interlocking rings of metal or something. Also the dresses worn by Lady Jessica, very nice. Not to mention the look of the stillsuits. They should have been some other color if they wanted to be logical, medium grey I would think, but visually they were great! So I don't care that it didn't make sense.

Farscape · I loved the look of Farscape a lot. Especially the look of the peacekeepers with their strapped closed vests rather than using snaps or buttons. They use all these different fabrics, often a bit distressed, but ever so cool. The fact that John Crichton walks around in vinyl pants all the time doesn't hurt either.

The Fifth Element · Bad movie, interesting costuming. I rather doubt we are going towards the dress made out of straps, since it would be uncomfortable temperature wise most of the time. I prefer watching this movie with sound off since the plot is useless. I like the comic book like look of the movie.

Sleepy Hollow · Wow I loved the costuming in this. I mean the way clothing would subtlety shine; I loved that. I think it was well dyed silk with stitching of a darker color over in the case of the blue dress worn by Miranda Richardson. Also if I remember correctly there was a sort of shimmer to the scale looking armor or vest that the Headless Horseman wore, though that might have just been in the film process. In general I loved the goth take on early 19th century clothing.

Star Trek · Okay ignore the fact that the women were in mini-skirts straight out of the 1960s for a minute. Otherwise I thought the costuming in original trek quite clever for the budget. It made a fair amount of sense to have people in simple sleek outfits on a starship. Though at times they had trouble with the rest of their logic. The bright primary colors made a very nice visual statement. Also a nod to the Klingon costumes in Next Gen. They are nice visually though in a way I wish that we'd had Klingons wearing more modern looking armor. They may be barbarians, but they are technologically adept. I can't get away from the idea of them wearing light power armor that I had years ago.

Star Wars · Perfect costuming. Well thought out with dust, grim, and wear. Not a huge amount of logic, but hey they did better than so many other space opera movies. The stormtrooper armor is a visual icon, they look very scary, like modern skeletal warriors come to overwhelm you. And Darth Vader? Woha. I'm amazed every time I see this movie again how well it holds up despite the years since it came out. Unlike certain other movies that I loved when first released but don't care for now (like Dark City).

Now what have I left out?

You fill this out in the comments, then post a blank one in your LJ. If you don't you're just not playing fair, I mean here I am naked to the world and you won't tell me anything about your own life? <whine> Though I actually don't mind enourmously if you don't since it's not as if it will be the end of the world. I just think it's neat enough to pay attention to for once. And short.

So if you've already completed it on somebody else's journal, a link to the answers would be neat. (Here's my link.)

I edited the opening from hawkida and the rest of the meme a bit, because I thought the old opening was rude.
