Guide To Marilyn Movies


Marilyn on the set of Some Like It Hot
Marilyn Monroe is one of the greatest icons of all time. She dazzled in everything she did, from her simple yet perfected appearance to the billions of beautiful photos leaving her unable to take a bad picture, to her mainly theatrical but prosporous singing career to her leading roles in classic films. She branded herself in every sense of the word. Marilyn was pure sex appeal with her shimmering pale curls, plump red pout, sultry lidded eyes. Not to mention her melodic come hither voice, sexy yet strong stage presence, flirty and quirky personality, and peppy charisma.

I, myself am a huge fan of Marilyn Monroe, especially her classic films, so I figured I would make a list of her best works. This is not a complete list, these are just my favorites in chronological order.

  1. Ladies Of The Chorus (1948)
  2. Clash By Night (1952)
  3. Monkey Business (1952)
  4. Don't Bother To Knock (1952)
  5. Niagara (1953)
  6. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)
  7. How To Marry A Millionare (1953)
  8. There's No Business Like Show Business (1954)
  9. The Seven Year Itch (1955)
  10. Bus Stop (1956)
  11. The Prince And The Showgirl (1957)
  12. Some Like It Hot (1959)
  13. Let's Make Love (1960)
  14. The Misfits (1961)
Out of all of these movies I'll pick my top five:
  1. Clash By Night
  2. Niagara
  3. The Seven Year Itch
  4. Some Like It Hot
  5. A tie between How To Marry A Millionare and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
