Roman Holiday was Audrey Hepburn’s first starring movie role. It’s the story of a princess who wants excitement in her life, so she runs away from her duties and sets out on a (you guessed it) Roman holiday. Audrey Hepburn won an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role because she is so enchanting in this film. Gregory Peck also gets an honorable mention because Hepburn and Peck had wonderful chemistry together!

Sabrina (1954)

Sabrina is the story of a chauffeur’s daughter who is in love with one of the brothers (William Holden) her father works for. Sabrina goes to Paris and comes back extremely sophisticated, getting the attention of the man she loves and his brother (Humphrey Bogart). If you want to see Audrey Hepburn in extremely gorgeous outfits, then you have to watch Sabrina!

Funny Face (1957)

Funny Face is a musical about a bookstore clerk who becomes a model. Thrust into the limelight (she got discovered during a photo shoot at her bookstore after all), Hepburn’s character has to decide whether she is in love with the photographer who discovered her or an intellectual she meets along the way. Hepburn does a fantastic dance number in this film, which is great to see because she was a professional dancer before she became an actress.

The Nun’s Story (1959)

The Nun’s Story is about a nun who has trouble staying devoted to her vows during times of crisis and during the outbreak of World War II. Hepburn is extremely vulnerable in this role and shows audiences that she doesn’t need the glitz and glam of costumes to bring out a great performance. This is a drama about a nun, so there are some religious references throughout the film.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)

Breakfast at Tiffany’s was a different type of role for Audrey Hepburn, who plays a New York socialite who becomes entangled with her neighbor even though she clearly has some issues. Some may say she was miscast, but this movie is beloved by many people who disagree with that statement. A warning though for this film – there is an insensitive caricature of an Asian man played by Mickey Rooney. It isn’t okay today and it wasn’t okay then.

Charade (1963)

If you want comedy, mystery, and romance, then Charade is the film for you! Charade follows a widow who is being pursued by men who want a supposed fortune her husband has hidden. You don’t know who is trustworthy throughout the film and that makes it exciting! You also get Cary Grant so what more could you ask for?

My Fair Lady (1964)

My Fair Lady is the story of Professor Henry Higgins who makes a bet that he can take a flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, and make her presentable to those in high society. This musical does have some outdated themes, but it is an extravaganza to watch. The costumes are absolutely wonderful and extremely well done!

How to Steal a Million (1966)

How to Steal a Million is the story of an art forger’s daughter who works with a thief to get back one of her dad’s paintings before his secret becomes known to others. Peter O’Toole and Audrey Hepburn have immense chemistry in this film, which is part of why you should watch it! The story also keeps you on your toes!

Two for the Road takes you through a 10-year-long troubled marriage in a non-linear fashion. Though the movie at times shows the couple being cads to each other, Albert Finney and Audrey Hepburn do have great chemistry! There might be a lot of sad parts, but there are also a lot of fun parts to this film.
