All About Eve and Sunset Boulevard are two of my most beloved films, despite (or because of) my love/hate relationship with both Bette Davis and William Holden.
It's funny that I think I dislike Bette Davis, and yet love most of her films: All About Eve (with a Marilyn cameo!), Now Voyager, Jezebel (with a very young Henry Fonda) and Dark Victory being at the top of my list of faves.
Ooh! Citizen Kane. I don't much care for Orson Wells' other films, but Citizen Kane is just mesmerizing to me. Got to rewatch it recently with my eldest, and she was blown away. Great to see it with someone who's never seen it before, and not just because of the ending ;)
