40 Fashion Films & TV to Binge on Netflix

IFB » Tools, Apps, Gadgets, and Resources » 40 Fashion Films & TV to Binge on Netflix

You know what's great about Thanksgiving? Other than hanging out with your family and loved ones, the turkey, pumpkin pie, the National Dog Show (we always watch since no one in my house watches football). The best part about Thanksgiving weekend is chilling out. For some of us that means a good TV binge. One Thanksgiving weekend, visiting my grandmother in Bullhead City, Arizona (where there is absolutely NOTHING to do) I watched the whole Godfather Trilogy. It took forever.

Now, since we have on demand, and streaming, we can watch whatever we like, since you're probably into fashion (wink) I bet you have a great queue of fashion films on Netflix. There have been some great films released recently as well as some classics. Here's what you can watch this weekend:

Documentary & Reality TV:

Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel: Born in Paris in 1903, Mrs. Vreeland grew to become the editor of Vogue and fashion icon.

Zoolander: Hilarious spoof on the world of male modeling.
Brüno: Sacha Baron Cohen is at it again, this time as a gay reporter.

So many great suggestions here…some that I’ve seen, some that I definitely want to see. But I’m also thinking a “Sex and the City” movie mini-marathon might be just the ticket!!

Glad I’m not alone about only watching the dog show instead of football! 2 Days in Paris is one of my favorite “laugh out loud” indie movies; Julie Delpy is one awesome woman.

Any Hitchcock movie! I love the Hitchcock ladies. If I had to choose a particular movie I’d probably go with Rear Window. Grace Kelly is divine. She looks just as amazing in cuff jeans and penny loafers as in a cocktail dress!

I would add a couple :)…

1. “Factory Girl” with my favorite Sienna Miller as Andy Warhol’s Superstar Edie Sedgwick. And 2. “Closer” with the fantastic Natalie Portman, Jude Law, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen.

I have three more good ones!! I loooved ‘Empire Records’ for serious 90’s nostalgia; ‘My own private Idaho’ to see young Keanu Reeves and River Phenix; and ‘Priscilla: Queen of the dessert’… if you think Hugo Weaving’s acting on V of Vendetta, Lord of the Rings and The Matrix, in Sabrina he’s on a rocket on this one 🙂 Enjoy!
