What are the best movies that show the glamorous lifestyle of the 1920's?

I'm looking for films, old and new, that best show/exemplify the glamour, and the lifestyle, of the 1920's. Doesn't have to take place in America, the setting can be Europe as well.

    Thoroughly Modern Millie with Julie Andrews - awesome movie. A flapper who wants to get a job as a secretary with an eye to marry the boss. Hilarity ensues when she meets a guy she thinks has no money and her new friend from the boardinghouse catches her boss's eye.

    I like the Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers movies. Very elegant.
