Sabrina with Audrey Hepburn

Best movie ever! It's a really great romance.

A close second for me is Funny Face. I also love Charade, Love in the Afternoon, Breakfast at Tiffany's (I have a six foot black and white poster from this movie on my bedroom wall) and My Fair Lady. Yes, I am completely obsessed with Audrey Hepburn. In my opinion, no one does classic romance better than her.

I also love The Wizard of Oz. It's a wonderful story, and I collect copies of the novel and its sequels.
