Some Like It Hot.
Why? Well, um, because it's pretty hot and I'm one of those that like it that way.

How to Marry a Millionaire.
It may not have been her most well-known role, but really this is the one where I think she shines most. Her compatibility with both Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall was priceless and the movie still plays out like a modern day romantic comedy.
This is my favorite and in my opinion, her best.

SOME LIKE IT HOT!!!!!
One of the all time great screen comedies, Some Like It Hot stars Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon at their best. Billy Wilder, one of the all time great directors, co-wrote and directed this fantastic movie.
Set in 1929, Lemmon and Curtis are out of work musicians who witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Fleeing for their lives, they disguise themselves as female musicians in order to get to Florida and away from the mob. This is where the fun begins.
Renamed "Daphne" and "Josephine" they try their best to keep their secret. But when "Josephine"(Curtis) meets sexy ukulele player Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe) you know he's going to blow his cover somehow. While Curtis tries to woo Monroe by pretending to be her dream man as she has told him, Lemmon is courted by Osgood Fielding (Joe E. Brown). Curtis adapts a Cary Grant accent and pretends to be frigid in the movie's funniest scenes. Lemmon seems to forget he's a boy and has so much fun with Fielding and adores the things he buys him. Between the cases of mistaken and pretend identities, the mobsters come to Florida for their Opera Lovers Meeting. It all winds up with a hilarious ending.
This movie is a gem from start to finish. Curtis, Monroe, and Brown are great in their parts. Monroe brings a funny and sexy vulnerability to Sugar and Curtis is great with his performance as "Josephine" and the stuffy millionaire who talks just like Cary Grant. Lemmon really steals the movie here. He invests Daphne with such enthusiasm that we can understand why he's falling for Osgood. He's having way too much fun and it's great to watch him. This is a true classic from start to finish. It's recommended for anyone who likes to laugh.
Grade:A+

Oh it has to be Some Like it Hot. It's just hysterically funny. But I also love Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, she's so wonderful singing "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend".

Some Like It Hot--because in this film, she played with stars of her same caliber and comedic bent.
to this day, every time my glasses steam up, i think of Marilyn--unfortunately when my glasses do steam up, it's not because of Marilyn (sigh).
