Hello Steve

That top five is pretty obvious, but in what order?

The Searchers is the one the critics go gaga over, but certain aspects of its "greatness" elude me. I have a problem with Rebel Without a Cause believing that Natalie would hook up with James Dean the same night her boyfriend was killed. West Side Story? Well, I think I would rate Miracle on 34th Street her top film.

I realize I am probably a minority of one.

Hi John, you're not a big fan of West Side Story or The Searchers? I'm shocked, shocked I tells ya! :)

Those are my two favorites on this filmography.

Miracle on 34th Street? Good film, it's been a while since I watched it. If it was up to Bob it wouldn't be on the video at all. I think he mentions in one of his comments that he doesn't include any of her child roles in his personal Natalie Wood movie database. (and Bobs a big Shirley Temple fan, go figure)

Going by 'top billing' I think it's clear West Side Story is her highest rated movie - from any movie source (except Johns).
