How to Steal a Million (1966)

via soundsofmyuniverse

"Half of this is just Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'toole making out and I really can't emphasize How Much I Am Here For That." — phoebe

"If I went to bed with that much eyeliner on I would wake up blind." — marian

"Heist movies staring Audrey Hepburn are the only heist movies that exist, sorry I don’t make the rules." — rudi

"If he doesn’t rob a museum with you on the first date then he’s not the one." — angela

"This movie ticks so many boxes for me?? Audrey Hepburn in Givenchy driving around Paris with Peter O’Toole, a rom-com heist, a meet cute to end all meet cutes, and a scene where the two romantic leads end up trapped in a broom closet. Perfection." — phoebe

Two for the Road (1967)

"Someone should give Stanley Donen and Audrey Hepburn credit for inventing the 60s." — TimCop

"A masterpiece. There is no better film about marriage. Rest In Peace, Stanley Donen." — Jordan Horowitz

"Stanley Donen's Two for the Road is the equivalent of a lifetime of Richard Linklater "Before" films in 111 minutes. It charts a single relationship between the immaculate Audrey Hepburn and the muted Albert Finney, over the course of a number of journeys they took through the South of France." — Wilson

"You really can tell how much Stanley Donen adored Audrey. This is one of her strongest and most vivid performances, because it’s so mature and so frank. I love how playful, even petulant she is, how spirited, headstrong. Audrey was very much ethereal but she was down to earth too and it translates so beautifully in this film. She and Albert Finney were so incredible opposite each other, giving so much, authentic in their highs and lows. It’s a bit cynical but just really bare and beautiful." — tulip emoji

"Choose your fighter: depressed Audrey Hepburn or horny Audrey Hepburn." — rudi

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

via cinemagifmaker

"You can’t explain love. You can’t explain what attracts you. It just happens. Love is only perfect in fairy tales, in real life, its imperfect, much like Breakfast at Tiffany’s."— Johnathan White

"The biggest mood in the world is when they show up to Tiffany’s looking for something under $10." — lauren

"That cat didn't deserve any of this."— marian

"The decade when every sentence couldn't end without 'darling' or 'baby'."— jackieburkhart

"Imagine being poor and still wearing amazing outfits...can't relate!"— hailey

Roman Holiday (1953)

via classicfilmsource

"Fact: Rome, Italy, was not actually a city until the year 1953 when it was created for the setting of Roman Holiday. It was so life-like that the city continued to flourish long after filming had ended. Tourists can still visit today to have their own roman holiday at all the same landmarks that Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn visited in the film. Bonus fact: romance also did not exist until the year 1953." — sibohan

"This could have been two hours of Audrey Hepburn dancing on a barge under twinkly lights with Gregory Peck and I still would give it the same rating, tbh." — kailey

"There are only a few movies that I wish would never end, and this movie is one of them." — Z

"That entire ending kinda broke me ngl" — Stephanie

"I wish I had amnesia so I could experience the last five minutes again for the first time because words cannot explain how my heart broke into a billion tiny pieces, and a wave of great pain mixed with happiness just washed over." — megan

Charade (1963)

via cinemaspast

"Watching Audrey Hepburn touch the cleft in Cary Grant's chin, and then proceeding to ask 'How do you shave in there?' is peak. cinema." — Vincent Price was 6'4"

"I think I’m in love with this movie and would like to publicly propose marriage to it." — Patrick Williams

"Charade is the most Hitchcockian Hitchcock that Hitchcock never Hitchcocked." — Ben Hibburd

"Oh, my word. The banter. The banter in Charade is amazing. Hepburn and Grant's delivery of Peter Stone's dialogue is magical. From the ski chateau introduction to the embassy denouement, every time Stanley Donen closes the door and keeps his eye on Hepburn's Reggie and Grant's Peter, I wanted to shut the film off so as not to spoil the perfection I saw and heard." — PTABro

"Somehow it’s both a pitch perfect rom com, and a thrilling, twisty murder mystery. Not sure what had me on the edge of my seat more… the mystery or Hepburn and Grant’s chemistry." — Aki Menzies

Funny Face (1957)

via filmtvdaily

"If Audrey Hepburn has a 'funny' face what does that make my face?" — sai

"This is how you use color. The pink doors give the room depth. The bright green and yellow in the bookstore pops and lets you see Audrey Hepburn dance, move, in spite of her costume's affinity for the background. The hazy smoke of the café obscures the blues and blacks of the room. The umbrella as Fred Astaire's dance partner makes him so visible. This is how you wield color to control the audience's attention, to paint your scenery, to give your setting life. As spectacle, this film is perfect." — Sally Jane Black

"This photogenic, pop-colored, 50’s musical hooked me with its opening technicolor medley about coloring the fashion industry pink, reeled me in with Audrey Hepburn waxing philosophic about epiphenomena (the idea that consciousness is a “mere accessory of physiological processes”) and Sartre, and sunk me with a brilliantly postmodern Fred Astaire tap dance sequence in the dark room. And this was all before Hepburn and Astaire even arrive at Montmartre’s smoky nightclubs." — Cinematic Underdogs

"This movie just makes you wanna buy a black turtleneck and some black pedal pushers and frequent dimly lit cafés where disheveled people sing about their problems and that’s exactly the aesthetic I am here for baby." — eely

"If Audrey Hepburn’s face is funny then mine is just hilarious." — megan
