My top ten films starring Carroll Baker - in no particular order:
1) Baby Doll - the quintessential Baker performance, have to include this
2) Giant - Baker is very impressive as a rebellious teen, something she should have played more
3) A Quiet Place to Kill - I had to pick one giallo and it was either this or The Sweet Body of Deborah. Sexy with twists.
4) How the West Was Won - Baker stands out in this epic Western
5) Something Wild - a bizarre, completely unique art film from Baker's then husband Jack Garfein, with a superb performance from its star
6) The Carpetbaggers - Baker's biggest hit after Giant and she stands out in a sex bomb role
7) The Sweet Body of Deborah - oh okay why not go for two giallos?
8) Kindergarten Cop - Baker is genuinely creepy in this Arnie action comedy
9) But Not For Me - don't laugh! This is a flawed movie but I really liked Baker in it.
10) Andy Warhol's Bad - Baker meets Warhol.
