Inspiration from the big screen is nothing new. Since the very beginning of cinema, we have found our idols on the silver screen. After all, let's face it, who among us hasn't imagined, at least for a moment, that he is Steve McQueen in a white T-shirt and leather jacket behind the wheel of a Mustang or George Clooney in a perfect suit about to show the world the heist of the century. Imaginations that, unfortunately, end up in front of the mirror, don't have to be condemned only to the deepest corners of our minds. Where can you find better inspiration than in Hollywood blockbusters? However, so that you don't get lost in the maze of thousands of films, we took on the "arduous task" and, with popcorn in hand, we set out to watch hours of the best films in history, in order to recommend only the crème de la crème of the most stylish films.

Breathless – At the end with breath
Everyone was stylish in black and white films. But in the end, it launched Belmondo's career and the style that we admire him for to this day. Add the fantastic Jean Seberg to The Young Thief in Marseille and one of the most influential films of the new wave of French cinema is born.
Bullitt – Bullitt's Case
Black turtleneck, black jeans and a tough look on his face. In short, a thriller as it should be. A tough cop driving a Ford Mustang played by Steve McQueen, there's simply nothing like it. If you haven't seen Bullitt yet, don't tell anyone about it and right this wrong as soon as possible.
Plein Soleil – In full sun
You may know Alain Delon's first big film in its modern interpretation as The Talented Mr. Ripley with Matt Damon. However, the original adaptation of the novel of the same name is definitely worth seeing in terms of style. Unbuttoned shirt, navy blue chinos, summer inspiration embroidered on it.
Oceans 11 – Danny's Eleven
Did you think the gray Saville Row suits of Danny Ocean and Rusty Ryan, played by George Clooney and Brad Pitt, were perfection? You haven't seen the original Danny Eleven yet... The original film, shot in the 1960s, stars Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davies Junior and Peter Lawford, and we think there's no need to add anything to that.
Three days of the condor - Three days of the condor
Sydney Pollack's political thriller, which reflects the social mood of the Watergate scandal, is perhaps even more relevant today than it was in the 1970s. And not just in terms of plot. Robert Redford's gray tweed jacket, denim shirt with jeans, and black sweater is the smart casual look par excellence that we approve of any day of the week.
Reservoir Dogs - Robbers
Want to know how to pull off a black suit and skinny tie look? Watch Reservoir Dogs. The 90s are making a comeback in fashion, and Tarantino's first film is full of great outfits. Add Steve Buscemi, Harvey Keitel, and Tim Roth, and you're guaranteed a stylish evening.
James Bond: Casino Royale
What would a stylish list of movies be without James Bond? We're choosing one of the later interpretations this time. Daniel Craig rocks a casual look on the beach in Barbados to show you what a real man should look like on a train ride, while at his destination he pulls out his, as usual, perfect Black Tie .
