It's been a LONG LONG LOOOOOONG week here at DFM, so you can bet my weekend will consist of three things, and three things only: movies, food, and more movies.
I've been thinking of my favorite all-time movies recently, and the thing is? I just love the ones with visual inspiration. You know, the movies that not only carry a great story, but inspire you to make something beautiful out of life. Whether your median is fashion, art or design, these top ten [ok TWELVE, b/c seriously, you can't limit this kind of thing!] are sure to give you loads of inspiration for a windy October weekend.
Enjoy!

Wow! Love your blog. I found out about it via Curbly. Your list includes so many fantastic movies. FWIW, Annie Hall and Bonnie & Clyde both started gen-u-ine fashion crazes back in their day.
I was just thinking about how my favorite movies from the past few years are all visually interesting: I Heart Huckabees, Lost in Translation, and Royal Tannenbaums (the vinyl LP scene in the tent made me positively swoon).
I am in love with Amelie. I can watch it over and over.
Thanks ladies, and Sally J: welcome! Your recent fave movies are SUPER fashionable as well; good picks!
swoon-swoon-swoon! thanks for this. so many of my faves there! i'd have to add casablanca to the list too ~ lots of great design visuals & lovely sentiments both.
Studio Wellspring--- you're SO right. Casablanca totally belongs at the top of the list!!!
