What's a favorite BETTE DAVIS movie?  

I'll pick the obvious one first:  WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?  (1962)  

TCM has been showing BETTE DAVIS movies all day Tuesdays this month, which is why she's on my mind.  

Please post one at a time, so everybody gets a chance.

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane is my favorite. But since it has already been chosen, I will say:

Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte

"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

She was lined up to be in FRANKENSTIEN- the part went to Mae Clarke.

Her earlier movies are kind of Lifetime ish. they were meant to appeal to women. the idea that a guy would take her over mariyln monroe or Olivia de haviland is just silly

Don't forget A STOLEN LIFE (1946) her most remembered "evil twin" movie.

Again with MARILYN MONROE?   :bouncegiggle:
You are silly.  And right.

A STOLEN LIFE (1946) is the one with GLENN FORD. 

Nobody mentioned NOW, VOYAGER (1941)... there are many more great BETTE DAVIS movies...

I may be alone here, but I've always liked The Nanny.

For I am my own master
I am my own god

You're not alone.  THE NANNY (1965) is a movie I've been considering posting.

Because I love MARY ASTOR, THE GREAT LIE (1941) is a particular BETTE DAVIS movie favorite (and hebby on melodrama, as Lester pointed out about her early films).

That would have been my last trump card, great movie, great BOGIE.  

There are more.  Like DARK VICTORY (which also has BOGIE) :
