    Bette Davis was a strange, strange actor. Is this her best performance? And also what Davis movies have the other voters seen if I may ask?

    Just about all of them. She was my mother's favorite actress.

    Of the 51 movies she was in, I count 37 I have seen. My favorite performance might be Baby Jane or possibly Dark Victory but the first one I saw was her last. Wicked Stepmother. She appared for 11 minutes but she made an impression. It wasn't until I aged a bit and got deeper into film that her saw her others. She was quite something but she does owe a bit of her career to Tallulah Bankhead which is not meant as a bad thing at all.

    Yeah, I knew to fasten my seatbelt before I even knew what a seatbelt was. I really like Dark Victory too. Some other favorites would be The Man Who Came to Dinner and The Corn is Green but for some reason (besides the two horror movies) the one besides Eve I think of when I hear her name is Whales of August.

    And Whales of August is one of the few I have not seen yet. I don't know how I've made it this far without seeing that one. An early one I really love is The Petrified Forest. The opening scene of The Letter is just amazing. Oh and The Little Foxes is great too. OK, need to stop before I just begin randomly listing my favs, ha!
    It's wonderful that you got to share all those great movies and Bette with your mother.
