What Film Features The Coolest Sunglasses

[kyser_soze]

Arnie in the Terminator, end of.

All the rest are just playin'.

 

[Melinda]

Why is this even a question?

 

[Andy the Don]

Tom Cruise in Risky Business

Jack Nickolson in Chinatown

 

[D'wards]

Obviously its the Blues Brothers - they are vital as fashion accessories in that film - not in any other so much

I do like these ones tho...

 

[Orang Utan]

Beat me to it. Great performance, too. Currently on revival at the BFI, I Believe.

I am going to dress as him at the next fancy dress party I'm going to. The theme is To Hell With Poverty - ' Glad-rags, budget glamour, Recession bust-iers etc', so I thought dressing as a down-on-his luck-shitheel piano player who's just crawled out of a grave would be appropriate. And I get a cool tache again. That'll work won't it?

 

[Badgers]

Next time we are in the pub we will both wear them and look super-mega-cool like we always wanted

It hurts but I am actually considering selling mine on.

Would also win "What Film Features The Coolest Suit"

Has the member of Biff's gang who wears the 3D glasses been mentioned? I've not read the thread.

What?? Why?!? I cant sit there looking uber cool on my own!! You'll fade into the shadows my man, we cant have that!!

That said, I tend to only wear mine at festie's or Hunter Thompson lookalike parties, as they tend to make everything brighter so not that great for driving etc

They do make a grey day lovely though, brightens the spirit somewhat

Hmmmm...

I will review this decision after the summer perhaps?

 

[gnoriac]

No mention for

yet?

Is dressing like an undertaker considered cool too?

also-

That's that sorted then.

I still say Arnie's in T2. What I loved about them was they looked like the sort of ultra-cheap sunglasses that you get when you're about 8, but Arnie made them look sooooooo cool.

 

[Badgers]

I want some new shades hence the bump.

 

[no-no]

Big trouble in little china

Good for warding of snow blindness........

 

[kained&able]

Ah, the Oliver Goldsmith Manhattan (1966)

They've got some in 'Joy' on Coldharbour Lane with hidden mirrors so you can see behind you. Spy shades. £5.

I still say the 3D ones in Back to the Future are better, though.

Or these-

Rayban Aviators & F-14 Tomcats..

when i decided to get a proper pair of sun glasses i had only one choice

you can be my wingman anytime

 

[contadino]

From The Thomas Crown Affair IIRC, and made by Persol. So cool, I'm almost tempted to have plastic surgery so that they suit me.

 

[Badgers]

Wish those round shades suited me better I really do.
Might get a pair if I ever have some spare pennies.

Haven't seen Big Trouble in a while. Nice tongue-in-cheek film.
