> Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy
> From the 60s: "Modesty Blaise", "The 10th Victim", "Mr Freedom" and

Obviously, these approach "pop" in different ways (and it might be
arguable if some of them fit at all), but some others might include:
a number of Godard's earlier films that include/critique "pop" culture,
including A WOMAN IS A WOMAN, LA CHINOISE, and others
Tati's PLAYTIME
BATMAN (as a spin-off of the Adam West TV series, but Burton's stands
in counterpoint, only to be overturned again by the last 2 Schumacher
films. (There's also the new TV cartoon series that has also generated
a feature/video-length production or two.)
Spy films (including those that Austen Powers plays off): CASINO
ROYALE, the Our Man Flint films, and others
also Coburn in THE PRESIDENT'S ANALYST
Mazursky's I LOVE YOU, ALICE B. TOKLAS
Lindsay Anderson's OH, LUCKY MAN
TOOTSIE (especially the montage sequence of his/her rise to fame that
includes Warhol himself)
BLOW-UP
