1) Gidget (1959) - the perky girl next door and feminist icon - why don't they remake this?
2) A Summer Place (1959) - good tormented melodrama
3) Imitation of Life (1959) - more solid melodrama, with a race angle
4) Portrait in Black (1960) - Dee's role is relatively minor but this is a decent film
5) Take Her She's Mine (1963) - decent comedy with Dee in a role inspired by Nora Ephron - she should've worked with James Stewart more
6) Come September (1961) - perhaps the best of Dee's comedies - definitely the best film she made with Bobby Darin
7) I'd Rather Be Rich (1964) - the material is poor but Dee is very good
8) The Reluctant Debutante (1958) - Dee is a little miscast but at least is surrounded by excellent actors
9) Tammy Tell Me True (1962) - Dee's performance irritated me to be honest but I guess I've got to put a Tammy movie on this list somewhere
10) Until They Sail (1957) - Dee a charming juvenile
