Keira Knightley's Best Costumed Roles: (Cinematical)

1. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
This is Keira's ultimate costume movie. As Elizabeth Swann, she gets to look beautiful instead of severe or dumpy, she gets to run around with boys, but best of all, we get the great "corset" scene. Her corset is so tight (even on her -- what -- 20-inch waist?) that she blacks out and falls over the edge of a castle, necessitating her rescue by a dashing hero. That has to the ultimate comment -- and the final word -- on costume movies. (Let's forget the expensive, lifeless sequels, which, besides sitting there and doing nothing, also had the unfortunately ability to suck the soul from the original.)
