Breathless https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3f/%C3%80_bout_de_souffle_%28movie_poster%29.jpg Dir: Jean-Luc Godard Genre: Drama, Crime Year: 1960 Breathless might be the coolest movie ever made, in the traditional sense of the word. Everything you started seeing in the 1960s as "cool" in music, movies, art--The Velvet Underground, Bonnie & Clyde, Andy Warhol--can pretty much all be traced to this film. It oozes style from start to finish and is probably what everyone thinks of when they think of French New Wave. Along with a little jump start from Rebel Without a Cause, Breathless is really what kicked off the counterculture movement in cinema that lasted throughout the 60s and 70s. We have criminal anti-heroes who steal and curse and have sex--and we're rooting for them all the way through. I defy you to watch this and not want to start smoking.
