Movie hats

[Zombie_61]

I'm always a little tickled to see this poster, as I'm so used to seeing it marketed as 'Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior". The "MadMax 2" bit was, I believe, dumped for the US market (possibly some other territories too?) as the original Mad Max didn't get a wide release there...

I can't speak for the rest of the U.S., but Mad Max got a regular release here in the Los Angeles area of southern California in early-1980. At the suggestion of a friend my wife and I went to see it while we were still dating, but we only made it 20-25 minutes before we decided we'd rather do anything but watch the rest of that movie. Any time I've mentioned it since, people within earshot commented on just how much they disliked it; turns out that one friend who suggested it was the only person I knew who liked it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I finally watched the whole movie on cable a few years later. I still didn't like it, but at least I gave it another chance.

I liked The Road Warrior considerably more, and it's the only movie in the Mad Max franchise that I've seen more than once. I've never seen Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, and probably never will; the whole "post-apocalyptic Australian outback world" just isn't my cup of tea.

[Who?]

It would certainly cause a stir here if someone were to walk down the street wearing that sombrero in the crowd shot.

At first glance I thought the standup bass player was wearing a jughead.

Those guys are always a little eccentric in their dress,but really talented imho. I'm not sure but I believe its a disposable mechanics or fry cook type hat.

2022 BOON has a couple of Stratoliners in it.

I just found that this is the 2nd time Neal McDonough has played Boon.
The first was in RED STONE. Im going to have to check it out.

The 2021 Austrailan film ''Buckley's Chance'' has star Bill Nighy sporting an Akubra Federation.
He wears it well I think.

Jimmy Stewart in The Monty Stratton movie. Nice looking cap.

 

[Granville]

John Wayne's favorite hat
I think Duke liked dressing down, and whenever he could eschew the dandy, "hollywood cowboy" look he flipped the brim up and put a couple of holes in his hat. In fact, this looks like the same hat over four movies.
Hondo

Rio Bravo

El Dorado

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (I think this is the hat's first appearance, before he put a hole at the top of the pinch)

“All the screen cowboys behaved like real gentlemen. They didn't drink, they didn't smoke. When they knocked the bad guy down, they always stood with their fists up, waiting for the heavy to get back on his feet. I decided I was going to drag the bad guy to his feet and keep hitting him.”
― John Wayne

Jack Nicholson in "The Raven."

He seemed to up his hat game in Chinatown.
