Gone with the Wind - The sheer scale of 1939's Gone With The Wind was reflected in the 19th century outfits - over 5,000 individal items of clothing were crated by the film's costume designer, Walter Plunkett. FACT: The memorable green dress pictured was made from a pair of old curtains in the film - Scarlett wanted to look perfect for Rhett Butler's return, and show she could still look elegant despite the hardships of the Civil War.

The Wizard of Oz - In the original novel, Dorothy wore silver shoes, but her ruby slippers in the film are now among the most treasured and valuable of film memorabilia. FACT: A number of pairs were made for the film (though no one knows exactly how many) and five pairs are known to have survived - one of these was stolen in 2005 and never found again.

The Devil Wears Prada - The ultimate fashionista movie, Anne Hathaway lands a job at a high-end fashion mag and has a life U-turn - both personal and wardrobe-related. In a nutshell, Anne, Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt show us how the magazine industry in New York likes to dress - with polish, panache and more than a pinch of attitude.

The Talented Mr Ripley - Cate Blanchett's turn as Meredith Logue, a wealthy fifties heiress, reminded us of the stunning style of the time - cinched waists, pretty pencil skirts and ladylike attire that still has its place today.
Marie Antoinette - We can't mention fashion in film without showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail this film paid to the 18th century wardrobe of Marie Antoinette, played by Kirsten Dunst. It took the film's costume designer, plus six assistants, to create the gowns, hats and suits, as well as renting various period pieces from several prop houses - not to mention the seven drivers who transported the pieces from location to location.

Sex And The City: The Movie - It was one of the most anticipated movies of 2007 and Sarah Jessica Parker and co didn't disappoint us with their on-screen wardrobes. From the Eiffel Tower handbag (seen here), to the Vivienne Westwood wedding dress and all the incredible pieces in between, this movie had us thankful to have our favourite, and most stylish, transatlantic pals back in our lives.

Flashdance - The grey off-the-shoulder jumper, the red heels, the leg warmers, the leotards... there's a whole wealth of sartorial material bubbling on the surface of Flashdance - just ask Jennifer Lopez and Geri Halliwell.
Pulp Fiction - Uma Thurman took cool to a whole new level with her role as Mia Wallace in 90s cult movie Pulp Fiction. Sharp white shirts, black tight trousers and black blunt-cut hairdos have never been so popular.

Dr No - Probably the most famous example of swimwear on screen (save Daniel Craig's trunks in Casino Royal) Ursula Andress became the quintiessential Bond Girl when she emerged from the Caribbean sea in that belted bikini. FACT: The iconic bikini sold for £35,000 at auction in 2001. Honey Ryder, John Derek, Bond Women, James Bond Girls, Diana Dors, Jacqueline Bisset, Jeanne Moreau, Shaken Not Stirred, Ursula Andress

Scarface - Gangster chic at its finest. Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer's wardrobes epitomised all the sartorial trappings of a fast and furious life on the edge. Rihanna also stated recently that an Armani dress she wore was inspired by Michelle's green dress from the movie.

Mildred Pierce - When we saw Kate Winslet wandering the streets of New York dressed in old-school attire we assumed she'd taken this whole vintage movement to new heights, but it soon transpired she was actually filming forties drama Mildred Pierce. The beautiful garments (tastefully patterned shift dresses, jaunty ribbon-embellished hats, figure-hugging outerwear) and the of-the-era styling had us rooting around in our gran's attic before the mini-series was even finished.

W.E. - Madonna's directorial debut, W.E., is almost as famous for its incredible costumes - that capture the era of Wallis Simpson and King Edward in the thirties - as it is for its storyline. Its timeless glamour, including perfectly positioned headscarves, wasp waists and indulgent accessories, captivated our imagination and most definitely helped cement the vintage revival we're seeing on the high street at present.

Grey Gardens - It may be a sad tale of the decline of Jackie Kennedy's first cousin and her mother, set in a decrepit mansion in the Hamptons, New York, but the masterful wardrobe - from glitzy evening gowns, tweed skirt suits and expensive jewels, to the more mismatched, age-worn garments - was absolutely pitch perfect and had us longing for the bygone glamour and poise of the upper echelons of American society.

The Stepford Wives - The original was fully 1970s, including high-waisted, wide-leg trousers, tonal colours and free-flowing hair. FACT: The supermarket scene, in which lead character Joanna appears to have become 'robotic' like the other wives, could have looked a lot raunchier. Screenwriter Goldman wanted the wives to dress like provocative models, but after Nannette Newman was cast in the lead role, Goldman decided the wives should look dowdier - hence the Victorian-inspired maxi dresses.
