Favourite part of "Breakfast at Tiffany's"?
I just love George Peppard's suits in that movie. I like the movie, but his clothes are my favourite part.

3. The bit where everything blows up at the end
and that Aston Martin he drives is da bomb.

4. The stupefyingly racist portrayal of a Japanese man...
by Mickey Rooney.



His "hilarious" performance as the slant-eyed, buck-toothed, camera-loving "Jap" was fully deserving of its Academy Award win.

(BTW, please don't tell me I need a :sarcasm: icon for the above.)

5. Yeah, I know, that is offensive
But I must ask, how come you know all of these racist terms? Racist.

8. Shopping at Tiffany's.
Audrey Hepburn singing Moon River is another favorite part.

12. Audrey Hepburn is transcendent in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"
Hell, she was in every movie she was in. But especially so in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

I've read the Capote story (he apparently hated the movie) and I think Audrey Hepburn was perfect casting for Holly Golightly.

15. ALWAYS the scene at the end!
When she scoops up the cat and hard hugs with George Peppard and cries to "Moon River" sung in last chorus....

If you don't choke up and believe in true love and all that rot after that scene, I just don't understand you at all!
