One thing that has always been popular and fashionable is hats. Specific hats go in and out of style, but there have been many that have made their mark on fashion, culture, cinema, and history—and are still recognized today. Most of the famous hats have become famous because of actors and movies. Here are a few that have made a lasting impression:

• Crocodile Dundee: Paul Hogan portrayed this studly Australian who, just frankly, wore an amazing hat: Cowboy hat with a ring of crocodile teeth around the base. This rugged character made this type of hat famous and very distinguishable—still today.

• Indiana Jones: Harrison Ford's representation of Indiana Jones is probably most well-known for his hat—a brown leather wide-brimmed fedora. And now, all across the world, any Indiana Jones Halloween costume would not be complete without the Indiana Jones hat.

• Holly Golightly: Audrey Hepburn's portrayal of Holly Golightly in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" inspired many ladies to wear the black beauty of a hat. Accented with a large white ribbon, this hat is now the epitome of classic beauty and elegance.

• John Wayne: Just picking one of John Wayne's characters for a famous hat just wouldn't work. All his characters wore the famous and infamous cowboy hat. Character after character that John Wayne portrayed sported a cowboy hat with a rugged, tough, and manly personality.

• Charlie Chaplin: When someone sees a derby hat, the first thought that comes to their mind is the eternal funnyman, Charlie Chaplin. He came up with his outfit by himself. He wanted a huge contrast in his outfit: small hat and large shoes, large pants and a small suit coat.

• Captain Jack Sparrow: Since Johnny Depp played Captain Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean", the pirate hat has never held so much appeal and attraction—at least for the ladies. His quirky character made the pirate hat cool again.

It kind of makes you wonder which type of hat will become famous next. Perhaps a propeller beanie or a bug hat are the next and best bets. Any takers?
