"Here&amp;#x27;s how I predict the day I finally see The Great Gatsby will go: I&amp;#x27;ll watch it. I&amp;#x27;ll love it. Upon exiting the theater, I&amp;#x27;ll realize, in horror, that the real world is dull and ugly and none of us are dressed up enough! I&amp;#x27;ll go home and wrap myself in my best silk robe and loll around my bed mourning this fact. Then I&amp;#x27;ll realize it&amp;#x27;s not a silk robe at all. It&amp;#x27;s a Snuggie. Because I don&amp;#x27;t own a silk robe, but I do own a Snuggie. And this sad revelation will seal the deal: I&amp;#x27;ve got to escape back to the 1920s immediately. Long story short: I&amp;#x27;d better have these eight flapper-tastic movies onhand, so I can make a quick getaway. Chicago Let&amp;#x27;s start with the queen of all shimmery shimmying, shall we? Chicago is the ultimate noirish-flapper flick. And while Catherine Zeta-Jones&amp;#x27; sultry singing never gets old, those of you who&amp;#x27;ve seen the movie 10 million times oughta make a summer trip to Broadway to switch things up. Wendy Williams plays Mama Morton onstage from June through August 11. Brideshead Revisited If you can&amp;#x27;t wait for next season of Downton, in which I suspect we&amp;#x27;ll see rampant swapping of petticoats for sequined shifts, order up this adaptation of the classic Evelyn Waugh novel. Hayley Atwell&amp;#x27;s spunky British flapper contends with some family drama that makes the Crawleys&amp;#x27; headaches look like child&amp;#x27;s play. Bright Young Things And if you wanna make it an Evelyn Waugh double-header: Bright Young Things takes place in 1930s London, where the British upper class was still all &amp;quot;Depression who?&amp;quot; If you&amp;#x27;ve ever wanted to treat Newsroom&amp;#x27;s Emily Mortimer to a pedicure (she&amp;#x27;s always stressed!), you&amp;#x27;ll enjoy seeing her playing a flaky socialite and fully tricked-out in fur and diamonds. Harlem Nights Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor play corrupt casino schemers in this winking gangster-crime send-up&amp;amp;#8212;but there&amp;#x27;s nothing funny about the molls&amp;#x27; delicious getups. You haven&amp;#x27;t lived till you&amp;#x27;ve seen Della Reese in a fascinator. The Artist If you never got around to seeing the Oscar-darling silent film, now&amp;#x27;s the time to watch/envy Berenice Bejo&amp;#x27;s daily agenda of don cloche, dance, wink, repeat. Thoroughly Modern Millie For those times you want something so sweet you almost can&amp;#x27;t stand it: Julie Andrews in wide-eyed roaring-&amp;#x27;20s mode will definitely do the trick. The Cotton Club This Richard Gere movie about the comings and goings of a real, famous Manhattan Jazz Age nightclub is full of soapy drama&amp;amp;#8212;plus, it gets my award for Best Flapper Character Names (Vera Cicero! Lily Rose! Patsy!). Midnight in Paris Ever get that thing where you wake up annoyed because you&amp;#x27;re not Marion Cotillard in Midnight in Paris? Yeah, me too. All the time. What&amp;#x27;s your favorite flapper movie? Photo: IMDB"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
