Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, 1953

Monroe's most memorable role might be that of the ditzy showgirl Lorelei Lee. This movie is a perfect fit for Monroe's incredible comedic timing and musical talent, especially that show-stopping performance of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend." We'll never forget that famously ad-libbed line: "I can be smart when it's important, but most men don't like it."
