If someone asked me to rank the three movies so far in order of how good they were, I would say:
RotLA
LC
ToD
I don't appear to be alone in this.
What is interesting to me is that this is exactly mirrored in the popularity of the hat from each movie - RotLA being the one most people like most, ToD the least.
It's made me wonder whether this can be extended into each film. For example, do the weakest scenes from each film have the least popular hats? Do the really famous, popular scenes tend to have the popular bashes?
In some ways I guess it's pretty obvious that the scenes everyone knows and loves are bound to have the more influential hat styles in them, because those would become the bashes everyone would naturally associate with the movies, and the character.
Is there any evidence to suggest that the hats were actually deliberately styled differently for different scenes, to create different effects (make him look shorter or taller, throw shadows in different directions, etc), or are most of these serendipitous, and just what we have come to know and associate with those scenes?
Anyway, discuss, unless it already has been, then just tell me to shut up.
