Reservoir Dogs

9. The Misters, 'Reservoir Dogs' (1992)

With his finger on the pulse of Hong Kong action cinema and French new wave cool, Quentin Tarantino exploded on the movie scene in the early '90s. His debut, "Reservoir Dogs," became popular based on its gabby dialogue and grisly violence... more ... but the fabulous black suits worn by the fast-talking, amoral gangsters became a cultural trademark, as well. The basic black, skinny tie with white shirt and sunglasses worn by all the Mr. Colors were so popular that suddenly suits were no longer stuffy symbols of '80s yuppie-dom, but rather the sign of major cool. The only question for fans was which Mr. they got to be. We opt for Mr. Pink. (Miramax Films/Courtesy Everett Collection)
