Robert Hunt suggests:

> a few Pop suggestions:
> Todd Haynes' "Velbet Goldmine"
> Stanley Donen's "Bedazzled"
> The Austin Powers films
> Ken Russell's Tommy, Mahler, The Boy Friend or Lisztomania
> Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy
> From the 60s: "Modesty Blaise", "The 10th Victim", "Mr Freedom" and
> "Barbarella"


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
