Roman Holiday (1953)

Audrey Hepburn excelled. The oscar was well deserved, and that too it being her first movie. Every scene kept me glued to the screen. There was so much happening: adventure, witty dialogues, aesthetic architecture and more.
That famous hair cut scene was icing to the cake. I rewatch it all the time. There's something about it, even though it's just a hair cut. Audrey's sheer glow and joy after seeing her hair chopped so short, the poise and the freedom she feels and exhibits, is too good.

A princess tries to become a common man. She meets a common man. They fall in love. Princess returns to being a princess. Common man remains a common man. A very very feel-good story with a realistic ending and a brilliant visual of Rome,Roman Holiday is the classic,all of us love. A vivacious Audrey Hepburn as the Princess Anne who feels suffocated in her royal lifestyle and Gregory Peck as the shrewd journalist who turns into a possessive lover,are heart-melting. A beautiful Cinderella-story told the opposite way,the realistic ending is laudable and makes the storyline all the more convincing. A must-watch classic for that warm,fuzzy feeling and the brilliant lead duo.
