What are the most stylish movies you have seen? About This Page:

Films today seem to have style as their ultimate goal with substance left on the back burner. There are a rare number of films that possess both of these components, but the majority suffer from being all flash. However, despite how unsatisfying these films may be... They sure look good and are fun to watch!

Most of these films feature unique camera, sound, and editing effects which are there for no real artistic purpose (most of the time) other than to make the audience say, "That was cool!" Such examples are freeze frames, slow motion, speed ups, jump cuts, and a host of other tricks.

Though they may not be films you may want to analyze and get a richer experience out of, they are films that are good for those days when you just need something to wow you with it's cool style.

Some stylish films I can think of:

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels
Snatch
Revolver
Sexy Beast
Gangster No. 1
Time and Tide
Buffalo Soldiers
11:14
Formula 51
Rules of Attraction
Killing Zoe
Layer Cake
Ravenous
Who is Cletis Tout?
Stander
Trainspotting
Shallow Grave

Now many of these films I listed happened to possess smarts with their flashy exterior which leads to a most highly enjoyable experiece that can be repeated multiple times.

What are some of the films you find very stylish?

Hero, Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon, Curse of the Golden Flower & House of Flying Daggers. These are all Asian "epic"-style movies, which normally wouldn't interest me, but are soooooo beautiful to watch, that I am literally captivated watching them over and over. And if you watch them on an HD TV, your eyes literally pop out of your skull because the colors are so bright and gorgeous.

I also recently saw Shoot 'Em Up. It was the most ridiculous plot with absolutely absurd dialogue, but that was the point. The "violence" was even comical in some parts, but it was just a lot of good fun.

Marie Antoinette was a very pretty-pretty movie.

Au revoir Mes Amies (this is such a feel good cute movie! - it's about a teacher in a one room school house in rural france)
Lena - my 100 children
Into the arms of strangers

Would Sin City fall into the stylistic movie thing.

I think you're referring to what I call "stylized" and I loooooove Snatch! Also, Oceans 11, Pi, Requiem for a Dream, Romeo + Juliet, etc.

My heart races and my chest clenches just reading this title! It was nearly one of DS's middle names since watching it got me so riled up that they put me in the hospital and wouldn't let me leave until Jimmy was born. I've never been so disturbed by a movie!

Another vote here for Sin City.
