Movies
With films like Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" (2011), Michel Hazanavicius's the "Artist" (2011) and the upcoming and most anticipated remake of Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" (set to be released by Christmas of 2012...), the movie industry should obviously be credited as the "trendsetter".
