Our favorite movie glasses of all time

We would argue that it's the spectacles and not the clothes that make the man or woman. Here are some of the best glasses in movies, from the ones sported so iconically by the Boy Who Lived in the "Harry Potter" movies to the alien-revealing shades in "They Live" to the damnable specs in "The Jerk."

The Matrix
Never mind that wearing sunglasses would seriously hinder your fighting skills, even in a virtual world -- looking cool is top priority in the land of the Wachowskis. Neo, Trinity and Morpheus look great in their shaded specs as they leap, kick, punch, shoot guns and answer ringing telephones, but our favorite pair belongs to Agent Smith. The look of surprise/annoyance/slight concern on his face after Neo manages to break them in the original "Matrix" is classic: "I'm going to enjoy watching you die, Mr. Anderson." Smash an Agent's glasses and the fight gets personal.
