I'll be the first to nominate American Psycho. Not my style, exactly, but they look great and every character pays an enormous amount of attention to their clothes (as do some of us here...). All done by Cerutti.
Another personal favorite is The Untouchables.

I nominate Snatch.
I like how most everyone in that movie dresses in a suit even for the most casual occations (like going to feed a person to the pigs). Plus, it features british style at its finest. I'm also a bit partial to "banker" style shirts (or so I've heard them called on this forum); dress shirts that have a solid-colored fabric for the shirt body, then white french cuffs and a white collar. I think this looks absolutely awesome with a blue shirt with white pinstripes and a yellow tie that either has a small pattern or a yellow/gold rep tie.

A modern film that immediately comes to mind is Ocean's Eleven. The clothes worn by the two lead characters (Pitt and Clooney) are essential to the panache of the film. Considering the film relies on style and flair as much as plot, I think the clothes are essential.

ocean's eleven
la dolce vita (or anything with marcello mastroianni)
camille 2000 (ulta modern in a late '60s italian sort of way)
anything by almodovar
btw, the clothes in "the untouchables" are by giorgio armani and i think they look ridiculous for the most part. look at the courtroom scenes and notice how every single guy looks like he's wearing an expensive brand new suit; even the f.b.i. guys. very unrealistic. i doubt elliot ness wore $500 french cuffed shirts everyday.

Ocean's Eleven was great for casual clothing. I personally liked the monochromatic effect of Gattaca. Uma Thurman, Ethan Hawke, and Jude Law are just way too pretty to shove into rags.

I'll add another Redford film, The Sting, and, in the same retro-futuristic vein as Gattaca, Minority Report. Seems everyone in the future likes to dress like it's the 1930s all over again... Also, I thought Casino was very stylish, albeit in a bizarre double-knit polyester seventies way.

Yes, re: Casino - I thought De Niro looked good. Â Though I would probably never wear such outfits, they seemed to suit him well. Oh yeah, and remember when he was in his office and he was expecting someone he would put on his pants right before the meeting so that the pants wouldn't wrinkle from sitting in them all day?.

Unrealistic maybe, but not ridiculous. Personally, I like expensive brand new suits - maybe it's just a personal preference.
