Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lovely!
Review: A sweet movie that never fails to cheer me up. Even the cat's performance is perfect. It would have been about 10 times better without the Mickey Rooney character, however.

If you don't feel like crying at the last scene, you'd better make sure you still have a pulse.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Racist portrayal ruins the movie
Review: An otherwise excellent film ruined by a very racist portrayal of an Asian American character

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Enchanting!
Review: Quite simply, this is a wonderful movie. Although its status as Audrey Hepburn's best film is questionable, it is beyond debate that it is a sweet, original, enchanting film! And it surely features one of Audrey's best performances. She truly makes Holly Golightly, both a lost little girl and stylish, elegant woman, come to life!

Based on the novella by Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's is essentially about an eccentric, runaway girl living in New York City (Audrey Hepburn) who exists in a swirl of parties and lives off of the gifts of rich men. When a young author (George Peppard), who is actually supported by a wealthy woman, moves in an apartment nearby, a beautiful romance begins to blossom between the two. My summary doesn't really do justice to the beauty and charm of this film (and of its leading actress), but be sure that this is a story you won't forget.

So, all in all, this is a beautiful film. Almost like a fairy tale, but more realistic because of the flaws of the characters, its only mistake is Blake Edwards' racist portrayal of the Japanese landlord. And, no matter how many times you see this charming film, you will definitely be crying at the last scene!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautiful...
Review: Breakfast... is definitely one of the best (and my personal favorite) pieces of cinema ever made. It puts out enough romance without turning saccharine, and has plenty of scandal, intrigue, and humor. It also has one of the best theme songs in history: Mancini's "Moon River". Grab yourself a breakfast pastry and a tennis bracelet, and buy this movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: tears at any age . . .love at first sight
Review: The first time I saw this movie I fell in love with it. It can make me cry no matter when I watch it. The simple theme of love, and how it jumps upon a person without any warning. It is classic, yet its themes are just as meaningfull now as in 1961. It is also packed with humor: the no name cat, holly's wild party of drunks, the five and dime masks . . . This is a classic that should showcase every movie collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I THOUGHT Moulin Rouge would be my favorite movie forever...
Review: It looks, however, like Breakfast at Tiffany's has taken over the #1 slot.

I'm fourteen and totally NOT interested in the shallow movies of today. (I've always been more interested in the past; I love biographies of actresses like Jean Harlow.) So I took a trip to my local Blockbuster and rented this movie, along with Casablanca. (I didn't like that movie, surprisingly.)

I popped B@T in my VCR first, and that image of Audrey as Holly eating that danish in the window of Tiffany's had me hooked. Now, I didn't think any movie could be better than Moulin Rouge. This one just might be.

I adore Holly and Cat, and I adore "Varjak, Paul" just the same. The entire cast is just WONDERFUL (Buddy Ebsen, who was supposed to be in my 4th favorite movie of all time, The Wizard of Oz, plays Doc Golightly, Holly's ex-husband and makes a great appearance.)
The first meeting between Holly and Paul is my favorite, with her getting ready to visit Sally Tomato and him helping her find her black alligator shoes. And the last scene, with the two searching for Cat and kissing in the rain (with Cat between them, looking none too happy), has got to be one of the most romantic scenes EVER.

I found myself hating Holly when she told Paul she was going to marry José (thank GOD she didn't!), feeling so sad for him during the Doc fiasco, laughing as they stole those two masks from the 5 and 10 cent store, and finally, sighing at the close.

Breakfast at Tiffany's is a wonderful movie from beginning to end.
I STRONGLY advise you to buy/rent this, and while you're at it, check out Moulin Rouge too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Moon River, Wider than a Mile...
Review: Audrey Hepburn stars in this charming comedy about a wanna-be New York sophisticate who finally admits she wants and needs real love, from a cat and a man. Audrey is stunningly beautiful here. You cannot take your eyes off her. She's also very believable as a girl from the rural south who came north to make it big. George Peppard is perfect as her down-to-earth boyfriend. You'll never forget this great movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Audrey Hepburns Best
Review: She invented the word chic,class,beauty. In this movie she imbodies all that. Holly golightly is a hooker yes a hooker. she promises men favors..but weaves her way out of it. she than meets a man who is uses his charms to get a head as well. They fall in love but she thinks she's unloveable. until she realizes she is ready for love. This is a perfect movie but imgaine the movie wasn't going to be audrey's it was going to be marilyns but everyone knew audrey was the one for the job and were they right or what. This is a classic. Ilove this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pure Magic!!
Review: I gurentee, you will fall head over heels for this enchanting movie! I have been a lover of old movies since I was about 5. There was nothing that could calm me down better thatn a little bit of "I Love Lucy" or Breakfast at Tiffiny's. I reccomend this movie to anyone who needs to cure the dull reds, or just plain wants to enjoy themselves!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Love Audrey Hepburn!
Review: Breakfast at Tiffany's has always been one of my favorite films! Ironically, in the book Holly Golightly is a bit more trampy. The movie is a pleasure from beginning to end. DVD is the icing on the cake. I always cry at the end when Holly and Paul find cat in the rain and Holly realizes she loves Paul and had better give in.
