Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

Nice effects though.

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

It does justice to the book by Truman capote of the same name. Audrey Hepburn looks gorgeous and acts really well. The film shows the flawed protagonist beautifully and creates empathy for her. The characters and the story are simply beautiful

This movie is the one you have to see if you consider yourself to be a intellectual human at all. Deeply disturbing in existential way but all wrapped up in romantic scenery, with adorable and unachievable Audrey Hepburn...

This is another of those "classic" movies that are often recommended by critics and by individuals, often making it into lists of best movies of all time. I think I must be one of only a few of my age (and I was alive when this movie was made) who hadn't seen BaT until very recently.Look, it might have been a good movie in its day and some people might have found it amusing and entertaining then or now. I'm afraid I'm not one of them.Yes, Audrey was lovely in a ditsy sort of way and George Peppard was quite OK in the role of Fred in a handsome kind of way. But the story, if there ever really was one, is now terribly dated and the movie must have been pretty damned light weight, even in 1961.As I've noted with other movies from many years ago, one familiar and then original piece of music, in this case "Moon River" does not make a movie and I found myself dreading its coming back as it did time and again throughout the overly long minutes that this movie runs.Breakfast at Tiffany's is trivial and unimportant cinema at best and boring and annoying at worst. I won't be watching it again.

This is one of my favourite movies and the lead of the film is one of my favourite actresses, Audrey Hepburn. The most interesting character of the movie by far is the main character, Holly Golightly. I would describe her as crazy but in a captivating way. She will not name her cat, she claims until she finds a place that makes her feel as wonderful as Tiffany's does.Holly doesn't know what she wants, what she needs, or even who she is. But she carries herself well and seems so classy and sure of herself. As the movie progresses, Holly's character is revealed a lot and goes through very intense and dynamic changes. A lot of people may dislike the characters because of their negative qualities even though many people share them without even knowing it. By the end of the film, you will be full of smiles, tears, or both.This is a movie that will pull at your heartstrings. Some parts are really light and funny and others are sad and deep. The movie ties Holly's materialistic desires and her deep emotional desires well in a way that viewers are able to follow well and relate to. The music is phenomenal. The acting is amazing, particularly from Hepburn. The settings are beautiful, detailed and authentic. The dialogue and plot are also incredibly entertaining.
