Anastasia (1956)
There are plenty of stories based on the legend of the missing Romanov princess Anastasia, but this film version is based on a true life hoax that placed Anna Anderson (Ingrid Bergman) in Russia's mind as the princess. It's pretty good - sort of like a My Fair Lady approach to the story, complete with extensive training for Anna in order for her to be a convincing princess. Plus, I think co-star Yul Brynner is really hot.
My Netflix rating: 4 stars

  1. Yul Brunner is one of my all-time favorites, being absolutely FANTASTIC in The King and I!
