Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.94 In a serious turn, Marilyn plays a troubled girl losing touch with reality. Slowly, a voyeur who is attracted to her begins to realize that the child Marilyn is babysitting may be in danger from her.

![]() | We're Not Married
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $3.99 A wonderful comedy of errors about 5 couples that discover they aren't really married, thanks to an over-eager to please, but not entirely bright JP. Great performances by Marilyn, Mitzy Gaynor, Zsa Zsa, Fred Allen, Eve Arden, and many others.

![]() | Some Like It Hot
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $4.81 A very enjoyable comedy, and proof that Eddie Murphy wasn't the first man to look lousy in a dress. Jack Lemmon's performance is very underrated.

|
![]() | All About Eve
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $3.15 A powerhouse cast lead by Bette Davis and Anne Baxter about the catfighting happening backstage as an aging actress refuses to giveway to the young upstart replacing her. Marilyn is a scene stealer in a small part as a wannabe starlet.

![]() | How To Marry A Millionaire
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $8.07 Sharing the screen with Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall, this should have been a timeless classic, but the years haven't been kind. It's simply too grounded in 50s sensibilities for people born in the 60s or later to relate to it.
