 | Random Harvest
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $11.79 1942 - Greer's best film with one of her finest performances. A sentimental yet emotionally truthful story, with Ronald Colman a fine leading man.
|
 | Pride and Prejudice
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $12.01 1940 - Greer's best performance, bar none. Truthful, witty, stubborn, opinionated and utterly charming...her Elizabeth is a genuine classic.
|
 | Goodbye, Mr. Chips
Buy used from: $10.99 1939 - Greer's brief yet resonant performance is just one of the pleasures of this timeless classic. Robert Donat is terrific.
|
 | Madame Curie
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $8.50 1943 - A subtle gem. Garson and Pidgeon in their most effective pairing, with a story far more riveting than it had a right to be.
|
 | Mrs. Miniver
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $5.24 1942 - An underrated Best Picture winner (is that an oxymoron?). The stiff-upper-lip British-isms run thick, but this is good story telling with an intelligent script. Greer's Oscar-winning performance.
|
 | Julius Caesar
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $3.00 Greer's small role as Calpurnia was at her request, so tired had she become of what she called her "dramatic potboilers". She's fine, though, and Marlon Brando is terrific. This is quite a good film.
|
 | Sunrise At Campobello
Buy new: $19.99 1960 - Along with "Pride and Prejudice", the best thing Greer ever did. The film plods just a bit, but Greer was Oscar nominated and deserved to win. She knew it, and so did Elizabeth Taylor, but Eddie Fisher and a pneumonia-induced tracheotomy are hard to beat in Hollywood.
|
 | Blossoms in the Dust (1941)
Buy used from: $29.90 1941 - A technicolor opus to motherless love, this film solidified Greer's stardom. Her performance is somewhat overwrought at times, but she never looked better.
|
 | Mrs. Parkington
Buy new: $19.99 1944 - A refined romantic melodrama that showed the beginnings of wear-and-tear on MGM's Garson "formula picture". Still, it's entertaining and Greer is charming as the heroine.
