Swooping shots of the Chrysler Building. Gleaming Aston Martins. Hitchcock's blondes. Maybe it's false nostalgia, but everything seems classier when shot in glorious black and white. Part of the reason, surely, is the film industry's stylish packaging of life — for better or worse, our notions of high-design have been both influenced and propelled by what we've seen on the silver screen. Architecture, cars and clothing frame the actors we worship, and in turn, earn their own small spots in the star system. Screengrab's Phil Nugent walks us through five films in which design nearly stole the show.
