Which films make up Suspect #2

The twelve parts

1. 01

   Red knitted beanie

   The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)

   A uniform for a crew that could not sail. The hat is the whole institution.

2. 02

   Brass welding goggles

   Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981)

   Miller costumed a whole apocalypse out of scrap. Cheapest world-building ever filmed.

3. 03

   Shark tooth on a cord

   Jaws (1975)

   Spielberg's shark broke, so he shot the water instead, and invented dread.

4. 04

   Blue prison work shirt

   The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

   Denim as patience. It took him two decades to take this off.

5. 05

   Yellow rain slicker

   It (2017)

   The most ominous raincoat in cinema, and it is only ominous because of what it is walking towards.

6. 06

   Quilted spacesuit sleeve

   2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

   Designed in 1968 for a year that has been and gone. Still looks ahead of us.

7. 07

   Red boxing glove

   Rocky (1976)

   He does not win. That is the part everybody forgets and the part that works.

8. 08

   Small brass spinning top

   Inception (2010)

   Cut to black before it decides. Fifteen years later people are still arguing.

9. 09

   Coiled leather bullwhip

   Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

   The whip was in the script before the hat was. It is the first thing the character does.

10. 10

    Olive army fatigue trousers

    Apocalypse Now (1979)

    Army issue, rolled at the cuff, soaked through. The shoot was longer than the war it was about.

11. 11

    Black diving fins

    The Big Blue (1988)

    A French film about holding your breath. Half the country has seen it twice.

12. 12

    Volleyball with a face

    Cast Away (2000)

    The best supporting performance of 2000 was given by sporting equipment.
