Favorite Blake Edwards Films

I love Breakfast at Tiffany's more than I thought it was possible to love a movie, but I don't feel like it truly showcases Edwards' skill as a director as some of his later work did - especially when he wrote or adapted the storyline and screenplay, as in The Great Race and Darling Lili. Victor Victoria will always be a fave for me, but I do love The Great Race - I feel like it's Blake's bawdy, ridiculous humor at all-time perfection.

- S.O.B. (anarchic, personal, biting, surreal, absurd, playful, angry, reckless, broad, sharp in short beep great)
- Victor/Victoria (his most controlled farce - technically and thematically)
- The Party
- 10
- What Did You Do in the War, Daddy?
- The Pink Panther
- The Great Race
- A Shot in the Dark
- Gunn
- Skin Deep
Although Darling Lili, The Days of Wine and Roses and Wild Rovers (if you cut out all the Peckinpah-infatuated slow motion crap) could tie for the last spot, or even interchange with the 7-10 positions.

Blake Edwards makes entertaining films, and rather than be up-front about the social issues of the time, he quietly makes commentaries and subversively undermines the problems of his time (though he slips up sometimes in terms of being PC, though these slips are not at all Freudian and shouldnt be taken heavily). People laugh at his films, and I wish that more young people would watch these classic films.

Hey, that's what's great about opinions. Everyone's entitled to theirs.
I think that makes me a minority on this board.

Pink Panther series - originals
S.O.B. - Wow, so many stars, so many great lines, so many funny situations.
Victor/Victoria - The great Julie Andrews again.
Skin Deep - Edwards and Ritter what a match. John with 'Zap' and John twitching.

"Days Of Wine and Roses" that is one of the best films i've seen
The only reason I didn't say "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is because I read the book actually, after I saw the film- which I found "ok", great soundtrack (I Love my Mancini) Audrey is gorgeous though.

"Experiment in Terror" rises above the Edwards' work as a tightly controlled, beautifully shot, expertly edited and well-acted motion picture. Too often, for me, Edwards' films look "staged" and dead. "Experiment in Terror" even today is organic and fluid (scary too).
