1) Psycho (1960) - famous scene but also a genuinely nuanced performance as a frustrated woman who makes a bad decision - Vera Miles doesn't have what Leigh had
2) Touch of Evil (1958) - passive (kidnapped) but she has an inner steel
3) Living It Up (1954) - really fun Martin and Lewis movie and Leigh matches well with Dean
4) Scaramouche (1952) - honestly her character is a ninny and not in Eleanor Parker's league I just love this flm
5) Little Women (1949) - the most nothing role in the story but she's ideal - she fitted in well at MGM
6) The Manchurian Candidate (1962) a sex positive woman chasing after Frank, from Leigh's hot streak of classic movies
7) The Fog (1980) - she's fine rather than great I just love the movie
8) The Vikings (1958) - lovely and warm in a movie that needs it
9) Houdini (1953) - perhaps the best film she made with Tony Curtis, very winning
10) Harper (1966) - one of many stars.
