I'd have to go with the dirty sanchez for it's style.
If you meant movie, I'll have to keep thinking.

when I think of a "style" of movie, the first thing that pops into my mind is cinematography. For some reason, one of the movies who's cinematography sticks out in my mind was "8mm".

I don't know exactly what you mean by 'style' but I love the cinematography in American Beauty...

Usually when I think of style, I mean, the actors had style, the characters that is... Ocean's Eleven, Pulp Fictions, the characters had style.

Well, Bravehart will always be one of my favorites.
Dark City always seemed to have a cool style to me as well.
I could think of some others but nothing really offhand...

Sense and Sensibility is one of my favorites by far. I love just about everything in that movie, especially the era it took place in.

Pulp Fiction has combination of stylish characters, cinematography and storytelling. Good call on that one.

Bahahhahaha first thing I thought of was the Moonwalk.
Speaking of the moon I like the style of the movie Moon Trap.

movies that look like they're a long video for some song are pretty cool

rofl Dregor digs David Bowie's bulge in teh spandex
Either Amelie or Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.. when Li Mu Bai fights and just kind of "flows" while he slashes with the sword, it's orgasmic

A lot of the movies I would have mentioned already were (Usual Suspects, Matrix, Amelie, Rear Window, Fight Club, etc ) so I will add the following to the stew:
"The City of Lost Children"
"Ran"
"The Professional"
"The Third Man"
"A Touch of Evil"

Kurosawa indeed > all
Hiroshi Inagaki did some great movies as well that were oozing with style. Chushingura and Samurai Trilogy (Mushashi Miyamoto) were great as well.
