Another correspondent comments: the mackintosh worn by Jane Marsh is
probably shiny black rubber, not oilskin? And 'commercial compromise'
may be unfair too. (Anon)

 Final Analysis, Phil Joanou, US, 1992 |
"Final Analysis", 1992, director is Phil Joanou. This thriller features such actors as Richard Gere, Kim Basinger, Uma Thurman and Eric Roberts. Gere plays a role of psychiatrist, who falls in love with the sister (Basinger) of one of his patients. She is married, but hate her husband with a passion.
In some scences Kim Basinger wears a blue trenchcoat and I think she is just marvelous in it. Also there is a scene, when husband asks her pull off her clothes, and she take off trenchcoat slowly. Beautiful woman and beautiful trenchcoat - what a perfect match.

brief scene where Demi Moore goes out in the pouring rain and pulls the
collar of her raincoat up around her chin. (Jane W) Available from Amazon. |
 Passport to Murder, David Hemmings, US / Hungary, 1993 |
Basically I won't recommend anyone to waste time on this movie. It's pretending to be a thriller (or maybe a comedy? Hmmm...), but does it really bad. But one thing helps it. Well, two things - actress Connie Sellecca and her grey mac she wears for a second part of this film. The movie itself is about the woman from New York, that travels to Paris for vacation, and then realise some strangers following her for no reason.

white geometric print raincoat for much of the beginning of the movie...
You can even hear it stretch and crinkle...(Jeff) Available from Amazon. |
| Last Action Hero, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
US, 1993. |
A movie character steps off the
screen into the real life of a boy. Don't know if this counts, but in the
Police Department scene, there are many characters walking around in background
wearing vinyl clothes. The motorcycle cop in the red vinyl catsuit is my
fave. (Jeff) Available from Amazon. |

plastic jacket in the rain. (WK) Available from Amazon. |

Available from Amazon. |
| One Fine Day, Michael Hoffman, US, 1996. |
In most street scenes, Michelle
Pfeiffer wears a beige trench coat. The best shot is when she first meets
George Clooney and has a raging row with him from under a bright red umbrella
(which she must have thought of hitting him with!). The brolly reappears
right at the end, and throughout the film there are people in the background
in various kinds of rainwear. I venture the trench and umbrella suits her
better than the sou-wester, although of course she'd look OK in a coal sack!!
(BJ) Available from Amazon. |
| Temps de Chien, Jean Marboeuf , France,
1996 |
A film about power in the working
world and how it corrupts people. Unfortunately, the demonstration is not
convincing! But at the end of it, Fabienne Chaudat is wearing a heavy yellow
see thru plastic mac with the hugest collar you can think of and Josianne
Leveque wears a green plastic cape with a blue and red collar and yellow
and orange arm-slits. Really excentric but pretty plastic macs. (Cire Noir) |
| Saltwater Moose, Stuart Margolm, Canada,
1996 |

family film about a boy who befriends a moose in the wilds of Canada, towards

1996 |
In a brief scene of that mediocre
comedy, Clémentine Célarié is wearing a translucent
mac. (Cire Noir) |
 Up Close and Personal, John Arvet,
US, 1996 |
One of those typical American sentimental
films with a nice couple (Michele Pfeiffer and Robert Redford). Both of them
are journalists (not corrupted). Redford is an experienced one and Michele
Pfeiffer is a beginner. In her first try to impress him, as she is doing
the weather report on TV, she wears a yellow pvc mc with souwester. Charming
! (Cire Noir)

Holly Hunter and Delroy Lindo are
wearing the plastic rainwear during their survailance work on Ewan McGregor

 Shooting Fish, Stefan Schwartz, UK, 1997 |
In an otherwise unforgettable movie, Shooting Fish,
a young Kate Beckinsale wears two 3/4 lengths macks,
tugging at them surrussously from time to time. Given her attire in Underworld, and the interview she gave where she
talked of the 'surprising' discovery of the comfort of whole body
latex catsuit, one wonders if the discovery was not just waiting to
happen.

make it in the music business in the '60's, she wants to make it as a singer,

A detective story in the pure British
style directed by French tv journalist (who signs here his first fiction).
Hannah Gordon is the typical detective - an old and grumpy but devoted secretary.
In a bref scene, you can see her see-thru translucent plastic raincoat.
(Cire Noir) |
| Clockwatchers, Jill Sprecher, USA, 1997 |
Shy office temp Toni Collette has
several scenes where she looks absolutely delicious in a full-length polyurethane
or pvc raincoat with a snap front in powder blue with flower print. She
completes the ensemble with a matching umbrella. One of the film's subplots
involves a series of thefts by the office kleptomaniac. The umbrella is
one of the stolen items and there is a scene where Collette tails the thief
home in the rain, with the raincoat pulled over her head to stay dry, and
sunglasses on (to disguise herself?). I always get excited by watching her
scenes in the raincoat (there's even a scene where she takes it off and
you can hear the "swish" sounds), and I've probably worn out the
tape by now - time to upgrade to DVD! The raincoat scenes save what is otherwise
a very boring movie. (William) Available from Amazon.

| Little Voice, Mark Herman,
UK, 1998 |
Brenda Blethyn wears a short, tight
fitting, leopard-print PVC trench in one scene. Given the character's inflated
opinion of herself, she probably finds herself much sexier than we do. (William) Available from Amazon. |

1998 |
In one short scene, one of the
prostitutes on the side walk is wearing a short translucent plastic trench.

A short erotic movie produced by Tinto Brass, an italian erotic movie director. The story is simple: a lady and a boy occasionally have seen each other on opposite subway platforms at midnight, and she decides to do a striptease for him. For a good part of the movie she wears nothing, but a white mac. Thrilling! (Artem)

Kirsten Dunst wears a
really shiny PVC mac; clip

in it. (Anon)

 Tea with
Mussolini, Franco Zeffirelli, Italy/UK, 1999 |
In the first hour Joan Plowright is seen
wearing a lovely olive green mackintosh cape with a broad brimmed hat.
She was wearing it undone and holding it together when she walked. Broad
brimmed hats complement capes a treat. (John)
I do hope this is a mackintosh cape . (LE)
