Indeed it has Mich.. see your post Sun, 28 November 2004 21:31 !
Still no reason why we shouldnt add a few more!
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)...not a pleasent sighting!
And today.. I watched 'The Water Horse. Set during the second world war, am 90% sure the mother (Emily Watson) was wearing seams.. but you'd have to be pretty vigulent to spot!.. the cook had tell tale wrinkles... but less appealing!
Good film if you're a 9 year old boy...

Melmoth, your film collection is ecletic to say the least!
I keep saying one day I'll watch Romeo is bleeding and I've never heard of Istvan Szabo!
Never mind, I've still got a few years in which to watch some serious gems after I've bought 'Ashes to Ashes' Series one and Oz and James Wine adventure part 2.
Oh, and the new Top Gear DVDs. No stockings but great cars.

I ran a video shop in the days before DVD - when Laser Discs were going to be the next big thing, but had already developed a love for world cinema at university where there was an excellent film society & a cinema where you could drink booze and smoke tabs. Those were the days.

You lucky sod!
I've had to wait until DVD and having a reasonable disposable income before I could indulge in all the things denied me before then.
Like DVD, good coffee, chocolate, nice undies, nice shoes, good wine etc....
Some people say that your school days are the best of your life. That's nonsense. My adult working years are far better than my school years have ever been, partly because I no longer have to be answerable to a miserly, overly strict father.
Its quite liberating being able to do whatever you want....
Within reason.

just seen another one to add to the list:
Violette by Claude Chabrol, with both Isabelle Huppert and Stephanie Audran wearing 1930s style stockings. Interesting film too. It's based on the true story of a young woman who poisoned her parents & because a bit of a cause celebre for the surrealist movement.

The huge Taschen book called '1000 Dessous', which should be a must for all stocking lovers, has a long section packed with pictures of stockings in the movies.
We once saw on TV a Busby Berkeley musical, 1930s or 40s, in which the whole chorus line-up, scores of girls, were in stockings and suspender belts. Very erotic. Hollywood could be remarkably liberal in those days. Unfortunately a picture from it in '1000 Dessous' is wrongly ascribed to the film '42nd Street'. We recently watched this and it's not in it, though there are black stockings briefly near the end.

God bless Taschen
Last night on ITV3 Minnie Driver sported black stockings and suspenders in Maigret and the Nightclub Dancer. There were also a couple of other (brief) stocking scenes in the episode.

"One Deadly Summer" starring a young and sultry Isabelle Adjani-a really good thriller, with a sting in the tail- plus a nylon clad Isabelle!

Mich's original post mentions a couple of films by Tinto Brass (Black Angel & Salon Kitty) Admittedly, some of his recent output has been pretty silly, but I love his stuff - at their best the films look as good as the classics of Italian cinema, the plots are outrageous but surprisingly adult, and, of course, there are lots of strong female characters showing off their hosiery in stunning outfits.
"Miranda", starring the incomparable Serena Grandi, is an all-time favorite of mine.
