What is your favorite Hepburn movie ever?
I have to go with The Philadelphia Story. Kate Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart, enough said.

Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.

It is so hard to say because I love her in everything I have seen her in. It is hard to say because I have so many.
Little Women- her best film of the 30s and the early part of her career before the dreaded box office poison period.
Woman Of The Year- the first Hepburn/Tracy picture where they fell in love on camera for all the world to see.
The Lion In Winter- she owns that movie. How can you NOT love Kate in this movie? late 60s politics meets perfect feminist symbol captured by Hepburn.
I know I have many more, but here are the couple.
David Lean's "Summertime".

Hands down, "The Lion in Winter," with Peter O'Toole. The dialogue was SO sharp (and NASTY!), that you could literally bleed for a week, without realizing you were even cut. I'm ALSO partial to "Summertime."
"You can't HANDLE the truth!" Jack Nicholson, "A Few Good Men."
Bringing Up Baby. She is just so adorably screwy, I find myself laughing at virtually everything she either does or says.

Great comment, my favorite also.
shareI love this movie, as I love every movie Kate is in, but "Holiday" and "Stage Door" have a special fire to them that is unequalled with all of the other movies I've seen of hers. Amazing that they were made 30 years before this one!

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?
On Golden Pond
Rooster Cogburn
Little Women
I'll go with what IMHO was her greatest acting performance, The Lion in Winter. Although I do consider Long Days Journey into Night to be a very close second.
shareI have loved Katharine Hepburn for years even though I have not watched all her movies (not for lack of trying). My first one was Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and it is one of my favorites.
Rooster Cogburn
African Queen
Adam's Rib
Philadelphia Story (just finally got to watch it uninterrupted tonight)
