Funny Face (1957)

The classic that makes every woman yearn to be a model posing for Richard Avedon—and also to be reincarnated as Audrey Hepburn. The Maggie Prescott character is a wonderful homage to Diana Vreeland. And the songs, by George and Ira Gershwin, aren't bad either.

The September Issue (2009)

Your September won't be complete unless you see this amazing documentary about the editorial team at Vogue compiling their September 2007 (pre-Recession!) book. As the ad-sales team toasts the biggest issue ever with champagne, you can wax nostalgic about the good old days, but the portrayals of André Leon Talley, Grace Coddington and Anna Wintour are relevant and riveting in any economic climate.
