What are you top 10/15 stylish films - by this I mean movies with beautiful (and often iconic) costume, elegant sets, witty dialogue and great acting. You rarely find all of these things in one film but here is my list (with accompanying YT videos where relevant) of some that fall under the title "Stylish", in no particular order:
* Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky (2009)
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntm4H6s2HO0
* The English Patient (1996)
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuylIvHVUW4
* La Grande Bellezza (2013) [English title - The Great Beauty]
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkm_h-SWTUM
* Talented Mr Ripley (1999)
* The Single Man (2009)
* La Dolce Vita (1960)

Also worth a mention are
