What's your favorite Greta Garbo film?
A tie between Anna Karenina & Camille for me, but all the ones listed are brilliant.
- Camille is it for me
- She was at her best in the silents

- QUEEN CHRISTINA
AND
ANNA CHRISTIE
I%20love%20Queen%20Christina
- Robert Osborne says Garbo's performance is Camille is regarded as THE great performance from the 30's. While I don't quite agree with this assessment (I think Vivian Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara is the greatest performance from the 30's) I certainly agree that her Camille is riveting and absolutely superb. Garbo fascinates me. She could hold the screen like no one.
- Anna Christie is the first Garbo film I saw so it holds a special place for me. But It's impossible for me to choose because I love them all equally but if I was forced to choose I would say Ninotchka.
Her most overlooked performance is from Inspiration.
- Marie Dressler deserved to win an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for 'Anna Christie'.
When i saw that movie last summer on DVD, i got blown away by her natural performance. It was so natural and perfect!
- Flesh and the Devil (a silent)
I don't like her nearly as much in sound films. Her sick accent always gets in the way--she's sometimes nearly incomprehensible.
- 'Queen Christina' stands perfectly the test of time.
- Anna Karenina for me.
- A tie between Anna Karenina and Camille for me.
I think Ninotchka as a film doesn't stand up at all. Her performance is great, but everyone else is awful. The buffet of incorrect accents alone is confusing and off-putting.
- Nothing touches that last shot in "Queen Christina" - she was called 'the face', and in that last shot, with the camera slowly coming in on that huge close-up, you see the extrodinary beauty, and stillness, Garbo had on film. It gives you chills.

- "Camille", by far.
She was a remarkable actress, but most of the films she made were pretty bad.
- I like MATA HARI and THE PAINTED VEIL, a 1934 rarity, where she is indeed 'the divine woman'. I also like her last one where she looks great doing the rumba in TWO FACED WOMAN in 1941 or 42. Those late 40s photos of her are very striking too.
- I will scream it this time: QUEEN CHRISTINA
- Yeah - QUEEN CHRISTINA among the talkies, FLESH AND THE DEVIL among the silents. NINOTCHKA the most accessible, CAMILLE for the most - schlocky and gorgeous.
- FLESH AND THE DEVIL
- Flesh and the Devil (silent) Queen Christina (talkies)
