A River Runs Through It (1992)

Movies that cover the places in nature where human presence is not an everyday occurrence always get a hold of my attention. Whether it's 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter.. and Spring' from Korean's best Ki-duk Kim or the beautiful shots of nature Terrence Malick manages to capture in all of his oeuvre. Robert Redford chose the landscape around Missoula, Montana for a peaceful depiction of the story about two brothers sharing a passion for fly-fishing inherited from their father. I tried fishing with my brother when we were young in the urban environment we lived in and never really could understood the thrill about it. But when having these fly fishing rods and a fast-flowing river nearby I can imagine.

One of the best roles I know of from an innocent Brad Pitt presents some classic Americana outfits; out fishing with his suspenders khakis and Red Wing Irish Setters. And other old-fashioned wear from the American countryside like round collars on the flannel check shirts, an overload of hatstyles and the funnel used by the deaf to improve his hearing.

Flyboys (2006)

The plane had just recently been invented in World War I but it was already used for airborne combat. The French even set up a special force within their Aéronautique militaire for fighter pilots mostly consisting of American volunteers: the Lafayette Escadrille.

They fought loads of air battles against the Germans and became known for their recklessness and courage. Flyboys tries to retell their adventure in a very typical Hollywood setting. I didn't care since the Lafayette Escadrille accounted for some fantastic outfits, outfits worn by some of the first combat pilots ever. On top of their uniform they all wear sturdy leather jackets with the lined pilot caps, since they were high in the open air which could get cold sometimes. Interesting are the glasses, which they had to put off knowing they were going to crash to avoid the glass shattering and damaging their eyes. James Franco, being compared to James Dean a lot, demonstrates his acting skills once more - some of you may know him for his complete opposite role in the Pineapple Express. And last but not least; check out all the different shirt collars from none to round ones.
