Keaton/Smith

I watched a really awful film while in Cornwall, 'Because I Said So', which stars Diane Keaton, Mandy Moore and the mother from Gilmore Girls... So perhaps it is unsurprising that it wasn't a cinematic triumph. Anything with Diane Keaton reminds me of Annie Hall - which I'm sure is the case with most people - and her tie/waistcoat/baggy trouser combinations.
I'm never sure if I love or hate this look. I have friends who can pull it off really well, I guess I'm just not one of them. More of a Patti Smith fan and her take on the androgynous look
 
I was interested to know who did the whole men's clothing thing first....so: Patti's album 'Horses' (above) which launched her into stardom was released in 1975 while Annie Hall hit cinemas in 1977. Go Patti.
I found this picture on the web of an Annie Hall face off. 
 Diane vs Kate
I think Diane wins this one, but it's Patti who trumps them all:

Pat

This Christmas I watched a lot of films as we have just got a projector and can watch things on the big screen! Its really cool. And obviously all the clothes look a lot better big too. The best film I watched this Christmas, and probably now one of my most favourite films generally, was Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid - the soundtrack and photography are amazing. Kris Kristofferson is now my all time favourite cowboy, and has great outfits the whole way through. The Great Gatsby, Onegin and Roman Holiday were also amoung the best we watched. And Troy which I think counts as Greek Mythology revision for up and coming third year exams.
