Video makers at Found Item Clothing have created a tribute video to the role of sunglasses in movies. The video of Supercut: 65 Iconic Movie Sunglasses, 1962-2012 was conceived, researched, and curated by Travis Greenwood, while Brett Roberts edited and sequenced the clips.

The video includes segments from films like Cool Hand Luke, The Blues Brothers, Fight Club, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.  Check it out.

The song with the video is “Shades,” a 1966 recording by the great Dean Martin. You may see the list of films in the video at the Found Item Clothing website.
