The 10 Best Film Femme Fatale Hair Styles

In no particular order ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


The Fifth Element (1997) - Leeloo

In Luc Besson's The Fifth Element, the survival of the human race rested on this ancient female, resurrected super being. Played by Milla Jovovich, her bright orange locks matched with her strapped band costume made an iconic action heroine look that is copied by millions of racy girls during halloween.

 












Amélie (2001) - Amélie Poulain 

Just so nobody thinks I am excluding the hipsters fav, Amelie's cutesie neck revealing bob had audiences swoon over this French daydreamer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pulp Fiction (1994) - Mia Wallace

Everyone knows why Mia Wallace - the coke head wife of a gangster gets onto this list.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

True Lies (1994) - Helen

Love when Jamie Lee Curtis sports the gel head look as Helen and does her sexy dance for secret agent husband Harry (or the president of California Arnie Schwarzenegger).

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Ring (2002) - Samara Morgan

The majority of the fear created by this character has been in her dingey, wet locks emblematic of her after-life spent in a well.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pink Flamingoes (1972) - Divine/Babs Johnson

Rocking up in a caravan with her egg loving mother, her off the chart son and companion Cotton; Divine's receeding hairline with the roots showing gives trailer trash a fab edge.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blade Runner (1982) - Rachel

A futuristic dystopian L.A. plays host to a realm of robots and humans. Although Rachel (Sean Young) lets her hair down during the film, it is this 50's, perfected inspired do that completed this replicant.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

Star Wars Episode IV - Princess Leia

With doughnut ring hair on each side mimicing a panda, Princess Leia takes her place on this hair list.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty Woman - Vivian Ward

How can you not want those soft call-girl curls of Julia Roberts?




Harold and Maude (1971) - Maude

Constructing the uber cougar with her sexually passive agressive plaited locks, Harold had no hope in hell of resisting the playful mother figure.

 

Runners Up

Blade Runner (1982) - Pris
101 Dalmations (1996) - Cruella Deville
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) - Lara Croft
Ghostworld (2001) - Enid
Leon (1994) - Mathilda

Celebrating two kinds of Kaufman


'Man on the Moon' (1999) is a biographical adaption of comic eccentric Andy Kaufman. Playing the lead role, Jim Carey does an amazing job at identfying Kaufman - a man who had no identity or perhaps too many. One is never sure whether to laugh or cry, but at least you know that you'll need to do one of the two.

I knew absolutely nothing about this film and was originally coerced. Hence I do not want to add the trailer as I think it gives far too much away.
Semi-biographical, 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind' (2002) follows ballsy, tv producer Chuck Barris' rise to fame and other varying heights. Quick paced and funny, that 113 minutes will whizz by as 'The Dating Game' developer leaves you inspired. Oh and the Kaufman is screenwriter Charlie Kaufman.

Swedish Film x 2

Being at home for the seasonal holidays I found this dvd in my cabinet and remembered how much I love this film. Multiple story lines orientating around a thematic of the dysfunctional family unit, this Swedish production has great dark humoured moments.
TRAILER BELOW:
Trailer 1 zu Daybreak - Sprache: en - Format: Flash

And this one is just classic.
