What's Buzzworthy? Movies With Great Costumes

As we ease into October I've been thinking a lot about Halloween and the idea of costuming and masquerade.

As we ease into October I've been thinking a lot about Halloween and the idea of costuming and masquerade. Many people gain inspiration for Halloween costumes from the clothing they find in movies. For this week's Buzzworthy challenge, let's take a look at those movies that feature some of the best costumes ever. They can be Oscar winners, like Amadeus or Lord of the Rings, or just movies where you admired the costumes, like Elizabeth or even Clueless.

Team members KerryG and tdamji already got us started a while ago by bookmarking a ton of movies with great costumes, so check out their picks, second the ones you also love, and add your own!

Just use Buzzsugar's cool bookmarking tool to bookmark your favorite costume flicks online and tag them with the phrase costume movies. I'll post some readers' picks here next week.

You can also now make a list of your picks. Here are mine:

Movie Night: Best Costumes Winners

This week I've been featuring the Oscar nominees for Best Costumes, and on Friday I'll ask you to vote for the one you think should win.

This week I've been featuring the Oscar nominees for Best Costumes, and on Friday I'll ask you to vote for the one you think should win. In the meantime, I've planned this week's Movie Night around three movies that I think were completely deserving of their Best Costume wins.

Amadeus
One of my all-time favorite movies, Amadeus is so much more than just an amazing period piece. It tells the story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, rising to fame in the early 19th century. The costumes do an impressive job of pulling you into the incredible opulence of that time period and class, though my favorite part is Tom Hulce, who makes Mozart into a very funny, enthusiastic, and flawed genius.
