My favorite hair movies are in no particular order, they all include
something that I believe makes them hair note worthy.

The Grinch

The Grinch, spectacular makeup and costume design. I believe some days I would surely like to escape to whoville and visit Cindy Lou who and the gang. I thought the hair was translated really well from the original concept of the book.

 

Hairspray

Hairspray, You gotta love the kitsch ! There is something incredible about the height of these wigs and if you have ever tried to backcomb a wig you will understand how much work has gone into this film via the hair. It's an entertaining film with absolutely no true depth but check it out!

Amelie

Amelie, Starring Audrey Tattou , she is certainly charming. I am sad that she has grown her hair since this film because I can't tell you how many women have come in to me wanting her hair. I want her hair , it's delish.


Swingers

Swingers, It's all about the money baby! L.A. lounge at it's finest, I love the scene but never ever want to go to L.A. guess I will never get to the derby. OH well. The men are handsome and groomed and the women are betty's .


Sid and Nancy

Sid and Nancy, not that this film is the best punk film of all time because I can think of better. I think the makeup hair was well represented of the punk underground . I love Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb as the Main Characters of Sid and Nancy. Special cameos are of Courtney Love, Iggy pop is in a hallway with his wife. It's funny to see the scene change and the hair change along with it. You are just supposed to expect it and it cracks me up!


Sliding Doors

Sliding Doors, this film has inspired so many women to cut their hair off you would be shocked. I can see it in their eyes when they come in. There is something about Gwyneth Paltrow's character during her transformation as she is cutting her hair short that seems to speak to women. I loved her hair short and based on this years academy awards she should have listened to her stylists a long time ago! The soundtrack for this film rocks!


Breakfast at Tiffany's

Breakfast at Tiffanies , pure simply elegant glamour! Audrey Hepburn is the queen of glamour. Fashion and hair owe so much to her pushing the couture whenever she could. I love the hair , love the clothes, I actually love all her films . I think Breakfast at Tiffanies just has the simple elegance that classifies her so well.


Dangerous Liasons

Dangerous Liaisons, A wicked period piece, where the villains are voluptuous and the innocent are prey. I love the costume and makeup choices in this film. The drama is felt by the hair and costume. There is such a grandeur about this film, definitely one of my favorite top ten films of all time. John Malcovich is so incredible in this film , everyone weaves a web.


Edward Scissorhands

Edward Scissorshands, My favorite director of all would have to be Tim Burton, scenario as such: Loner boy from Gothic castle meets girl from peppy neighborhood, boys doomed. Well the hedges are fantastic and once he figures out how to use his "scissorshands" it's all roses .. .. for a while... I feel sort of like Edward some days . He should have found a nice girl from another castle but then I guess I didn't write the script and what conflict would that be.. Anyhow see it , because it's fantastic cinematography, beautiful hair...

Auntie Mame

Auntie Mame, What can I say about my favorite film of all time! I absolutely love the wackiness of this. I am speaking of the 1958 Rosalind Russell (Not the Lucille Ball later production), The set for this is incredible, I adore the wig change and with each of Auntie Mame's life change there is a new look to all of it. I would love to have her living room in the engagement wedding planning scene! How fabulous!! "Life's A Banquet, Most Suckers Are Starving To Death".
