Breathless (1960) & Breakin2: Electric Boogaloo (1984)

 I took a journey - 

"Breathless" (1960) is one of the iconic French New Wave movies.

"Breakin2: Electric Boogaloo" (1984) is an iconic American Dance Musical.

Watching them back-to-back may require a medical intervention. I do wonder which has done more for popular culture:

* "Breathless" brought mainstream attention to French movie making. And I do love a good nihilistic character study.

* Without [B2: EB] - we would not have the 'snowclone' template for all sequels. For instance, in this current presidential year, we have Trump2: Electric Boogaloo ... I mean, you can't put a price on that.

If you are looking for more conventional pairings - 

-- "Breathless" and "Vivre sa vie": both are Goddard films, beautiful to experience, and pose the audience with philosophical questions and tragic endings.

 -- "Breakin2: Electric Boogaloo" and "Ninja 3: The Domination"*: both are Cannon Group films, the female lead plays a part time dance instructor, and have some hip dance moves (that I rewound and tried myself while I was watching).

 *trigger warning for Ninja3: there is a ¿love scene? that involves drinking V8 juice. It is NOT titillating, and it may make you gag.

Midnight Run (1988)

 I need to add one more to my [perfect movie] list: "Midnight Run" (1988). I don't think I had seen it before until now. It holds up well, it is very quotable, shot and edited really well. You can understand how this guy made "Beverly Hills Cop" four years earlier. I do think the secret of this (and BHC) is character. These characters are really well written and played. Charles Grodin is giving a master class in playing down beat against DeNiro's comedic version of "Taxi Driver". Yaphet Kotto looks like he is going to have an aneurysm - and Dennis Farina is truly a scary Chicago mobster. Added bonus - Danny Elfman soundtrack.

Fences (2016)

Fences (2016) is nominally a story about being black in the United States of America in the 1950's. 'Troy' is a disaffected working man that never really had a chance. He is unable to make sense of an unfair world. Viola Davis doesn't get as much screen time (this is Denzel's movie), but when she is let on the scene, she destroys. 'Rose' is setting herself aside to make a life & family despite very little prospects for measurable happiness. Based on an August Wilson play - the magic of his writing is that at its root, this story is about people who set aside themselves for "existence". All people yearn for happiness on this world from their achievements (at least to achieve 'success' & 'happiness' relative to people around them). People want to proclaim they are in control of their situations. People want to be treated generously and with respect. People think that the world, society, economy, and people around them should a...

Jacob's ladder effect

There is a movie I have never seen, but I know the twist. Think of it as a really grim Wizard of Oz tale where Dorothy clicks her heals and then the audience realizes she was killed by the tornado. That got me thinking about how much of the story telling in my beloved b-movies would be first rate if you just latched onto this premise. If you assume the inciting incident in act 1 almost killed the main character, and everything from there forward is a fever dream or the last brain synapses firing before the main character crosses over. With that lens the story telling just got a whole lot better. Imagine if instead of the script and editing being shite and the directing + acting being inconsistent, unbalanced and paper thin ... instead the cast & crew were students of Descartes' *Meditations on First Philosophy* or Plato's *Theaetetus*. They were purposefully challenging the distinction between waking and dreaming states. As they are soliciting backers, they have a copy of Z...
