Breathless is one of my favourite 'background movies', along with Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, Switchblade Sister and Bonnie and Clyde:
Pretty and dumb girl, Pretty and dumb guy, OTT cops, killer soundtrack, cool LA locations, and weird, memorable, clunky and odd dialogue. This movie actually got me hooked on old Silver Surfer comics; which are corny and ham- fisted but fun– because they're 'played straight'. Like this movie.
And Breathless still has one of my all-time favourite movie endings--Hollywood, Indie, or other. Don't compare it to the original French New-wave film. It has almost nothing to do with it. And, while I like the original, I love the cheesy appeal of the remake so much more. My film professors would be so disappointed in me, I'm sure.
Breathless is great, great fun.
