Favorite Audrey Hepburn film? - Blu-ray Forum

What's your favorite film to star Audrey Hepburn?

Here's my collection:

Astro Zombie · 04-14-2014, 05:46 AM

While I think her best performance is in Breakfast at Tiffany's, my favorite movie of hers is Roman Holiday.

I just want to point out that I absolutely love Audrey and she is my all-time favorite actress. I first saw her in Breakfast at Tiffany's and I was hooked

And she was always very graceful. And I think it came from the fact that her mother was a Dutch baroness. So she's pretty much royalty

She was pretty much perfect

I just recently started watching her films as I've either never seen them all the way through, or not at all. So far I've only watched Breakfast at Tiffany's, loved it! I'm going to be watching Funny Face next. Are there any that I should avoid? lol

Well she only had a minor role in Young Wives' Tale so it's not even worth watching for Hepburn. Only if you enjoy the story.

Yeah, I read her role wasn't that big in it. Could only find it on Youtube split up in 6 parts anyway.

For some reason I've not seen many of her films from start to finish. I've seen bits of this and pieces of that but I think Charade and Sabrina are the only two I've seen all the way through.

And she's great in both. I just watched the Sabrina BD a few days ago and it's really amazing how well that film works. All that star power (and a great supporting cast) and none of them trip over each other.

It's a great release too in case anybody's on the fence. It looks and sounds really good and there's a pretty generous set of supplements. So far I've watched the William Holden Paramount Years and a little featurette about the Gold Coast and both were really interesting.

So far I've only seen 3 films of hers, as I've only recently become infatuated with the gorgeous Audrey Hepburn, and those would be Charade, Wait Until Dark, and The Nun's Story. I enjoyed all of them but Charade would have to be my favorite so far, with Wait Until Dark a close second.

1. Breakfast at Tiffany's
2. Roman Holiday
3. Sabrina

The Great Owl · 04-14-2014, 11:22 AM

Sabrina is a clear favorite of mine, although Charade is pretty amazing as well.

Wait Until Dark needs a Blu-ray release. If Wait Until Dark had never been released, we probably would not have the Halloween movies, the Friday the 13th movies, or anything else of that sort. This Hepburn movie is one of the originators of the "big scare moment" that has been utilized ever since.

No, Halloween and Friday the 13th set many of the standards seen in slasher films today. Both were inspired by earlier slasher films such as Black Christmas. Wait Until Dark is a thriller, not a horror film.

I'm skipping Funny Face, I thought since I love certain musicals I'd be able to watch it. I was wrong...

Funny Face is one of my favorite Audrey Hepburn movies, it's a shame you couldn't get into it. At least you enjoyed Breakfast at Tiffany's!

Try to watch Roman Holiday or Charade next, those are great.

Todd Tomorrow · 04-14-2014, 03:59 PM

1. Funny Face
2. Charade
3. Roman Holiday
4. Wait Until Dark
5. The Nun's Story

I'm not a huge fan of her two most famous films, Breakfast at Tiffany's and My Fair Lady. While charming as always, she's essentially miscast in both.

mrr1 · 04-14-2014, 04:18 PM

What I think is cool as hell about her is when she was a teenager she helped the Dutch resistance combat the Nazi occupation by hiding secret messages in her ballerina slippers, and she even would flirt with Nazis and pick flowers for them to distract them.

So she was a legit war spy as well - not many people know that!

Audrey Hepburn was awesome for a lot of reasons.

Funny Face is my fave of hers

Elbie · 04-14-2014, 04:32 PM

Breakfast at Tiffany's

nagysaudio · 04-14-2014, 04:33 PM

Breakfast at Tiffany's as well. Interesting take/performance on a mentally challenged character.
