Every Best Picture Oscar Winner Ranked Worst To Best

Tracing its inspirations back to George Bernard Shaw's stage play Pygmalion, My Fair Lady is a musical of almost unrivalled elegance and charm, following Audrey Hepburn's flower seller as she's drafted into high society by an overeager professor.

Infamous for Hepburn's singing, which was dubbed by the admittedly lovely Marni Nixon, the musical overcomes this troubled historical footnote with a story that's ardent and moralistic, with heaps to say about class, gender, and empowerment.

It all still holds up today as a crowd-pleaser with wit and intelligence that feels, in many ways, far ahead of its time. And despite the fact she doesn't sing, Hepburn is utterly hypnotic in the eponymous role, as she was in every film.
