38. The Seven Year Itch (1955)

I think it's wonderful that you're married! I think it's just elegant!

It's sad that this picture has become the legacy of this movie. Don't get me wrong, it's a great shot, but it kinda takes away from the awesomeness of the movie by cramming it into one screenshot.

For the most of you who probably haven't seen the movie, this movie is what happens when Marilyn Monroe walks into the apartment of a married man who's wife is away on a very hot day and proceeds to engage in a day's worth of "innocent" conversation. Marilyn is absolutely adorable in this movie. In my opinion, her sexiness is not in her blonde hair, pouty lips, or buxomness, but in her giggly innocence. The Seven Year Itch displays these talents better than any of her films as the viewer rides along with the hapless Mr. Sherman.
