For me it's Roman Holiday that was her best, but by god she was beautiful in all of them!

You win.

But, I have one that you don't have...if it counts

spanky87 · 05-22-2014, 06:43 AM

Oh I have that Lavender Hill Mob blu somewhere too, just don't have it with the rest.

Anyways, what's the quality like on that Unforgiven blu? I know there's two different releases out and read mixed things about them.

Astro Zombie · 05-22-2014, 06:48 AM

I have a question, which version of Roman Holiday is the best. I'm assuming the Centennial Edition, but there's also the one with the blue cover (pictured above)

It doesn't look that great. I would say a 3/5. My Powerdvd wouldn't let me take a screenshot, but this picture is a good estimate. Hope this helps.

Added two more to my collection.

As well as pre-ordered "War and Peace" – It will be released on the 20th of this month.

Here's an updated picture of my collection.

My top three are:
Roman Holiday
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Charade

If you ever seen Hitchcock's "North by Northwest", Charade is a little like that, but with its own twists that make it unique.

Watch them all. Especially Roman Holiday.

The Nun's Story is an underrated gem IMO.

Agreed. I'd rank it last out of what I've seen from her, but it's pretty good.

Jasonic · 01-07-2015, 08:55 PM

I'd personally rank Charade last. Didn't care for it, and definitely not like North by Northwest.

It's the one that introduced her to American audiences (though she was in a few movies beforehand). It's set and filmed in Rome, Italy. Audrey plays Princess Ann. She meets Joe (Gregory Peck) and it's pretty much a romantic story between those two characters.

True it's good, I'd probably rank it at 6 or 7 on my personal list. I really wish all her films would be released on Blu-ray.

In some ways it is. As far as identify confusion goes. One person thinking you're someone you're not.

jlk5844 · 01-07-2015, 09:12 PM

Don't forget Wait Until Dark or The Children's Hour, both great films. The former is a one location thriller with a famously suspenseful climax, and the latter has an interesting story with a dramatic payoff but really shows with the lead performances, particularly MacLaine.

My Fair Lady will only appeal to you if you like musicals (or Audrey), but if you're a film buff who wants to see every classic, it's a must.

Absolutely! It never really gets any mention, but it is really worth seeing. It's never really showy or obviously dramatic, but it is just so easy to watch and get sucked into, and that last shot is terrific.

Disagree about Charade though, I absolutely adored that film when I watched it.

soarinsteven · 01-07-2015, 10:20 PM

Ahhh my favorite actress of all time, and the most beautiful to grace the silver screen!

TOP FIVE

My Fair Lady

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Roman Holiday

Sabrina

Two for the Road

Also good Charade, Wait Until Dark, The Nun's Story

Not the biggest fan of Funny Face, Paris When It Sizzles, Love in the Afternoon, or How to Steal a Million

Jasonic · 01-07-2015, 10:30 PM

Yeah, most don't share my opinion on Charade. It just didn't work for me much at all really. I can't even tell you why now, since I don't remember, even though it was less than a year ago I saw it.

This is why I need to make a habit of writing reviews for every movie I watch, no matter how short I write it.
