Blow Up is another one of my all-time favorite movies.
The ultimate in 60's 'mod'.


The beginning photo-shoot of Blow Up is parodied in Austin Powers when he's doing his funny shoot with Elizabeth Hurley.
I think there are other Austin Powers moments that are inspired by Blow Up. But the photo-shoot is an obvious reference.

Bob, I think Blow Up has dated very badly. It seems tired and trendy and the end, with the mimes, seems horribly shallow.
