In no particular order
1. The Secret Place (1957) - possibly her best British film. Some good Cliver Donner direction.
2. Nor the Moon by Night (1958) - not a good movie, but impressive location work, Lee looks gorgeous, and this was the film that she tried to kill herself during its making.
3. Messalina (1961) - everything you want in a dumb peplum: orgies, milk baths, gladiators, over acting. Great fun.
4. Miracle in Soho (1957) - the jury is mixed on this one, to put it mildly, but it has a lot of charm and Lee teams well with John Gregson.
5. Long Night in 1943 (1961) - a rare "serious" European film for Lee, a slice of neo realism, very well done, and she's strong.
6. Way of the Wicked (1959) - sex and drama among the mussell packing industry. Entertaining. Lee is gorgeous.
7. Phantom Lovers (1962) - one of Lee's last films, this is a charming ghost comedy. Her role isn't very big but the cast is good.
8. Blackout (1954) - solid B thriller which could have been more cynical. Lee suits the world of film noir well.
9. Who Done It? (1956) - Lee is Benny Hill's leading lady. Entertaining movie.
10. The Feminine Touch (1956) - Lee is jolly nice as a jolly nice nurse; she gets a chance to drive the action which was rare. I also like Dangerous Exile, but she was more active in this film.
