Your favourite Julie Christie movie

Troy!

I chose Darling. I feel so sad for that character. All she wanted was to be happy and was always looking for the next big thing around the corner. Sadly this meant climbing over people to get there. At the end it came to nothing as she sacrificed any real chance at happiness and ends up trapped in a marriage with some probably phoney Italian prince.

Allegedly it was based on a model who killed herself some years before the movie was made.

My second choice would be The Go Between - Christie is fantastic as the wealthy landowner’s daughter having an illicit affair with a humble grounds keeper.

Anything starring Poirot.

Many are good and so different that I can’t choose one.

In keeping with the season: Demon Seed.

R5 Warren Beatty told her she’d committed career suicide after starring in that one.

How can you leave out "Far From the Madding Crowd"?

R7 I also left out Petulia. She’s starred in so many interesting movies

OP for your consideration Richard Lester's Petulia (1968)

R9 I do love petulia. I love how Richard lester tried to make San Francisco as swinging as 60s London.

McCabe and Mrs. Miller

Took me a minute to recognize her as a quite young blonde in a season 3 episode of The Saint. Adorable.

DARLING, DOCTOR ZHIVAGO and AFTERGLOW. I would love to see HEAT AND DUST.

Fahrenheit 451 In which she played dual roles.

I'm too young to have seen most of the above. My favourite film that Christie appears in is Hamlet. She's amazing as Big Momma Hamlet.

I really liked her in "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" with Warren Beatty. I love that movie, and I thought they were very good together.

It’s not considered a classic, but I like the late 60s version of “Far From the Madding Crowd” she’s in.

Far From the Madding Crowd! Definitely.

McCabe & Mrs Miller is brilliant, took me a few watches to really get that about it.

Can an actress make much money from such a selective career? I’m trying to work out what her big money making days would have been.

R20, I vaguely recall saying she did either Troy or Afterglow because she wanted to pay for an extension of her house or some other renovation.

Julie Christie set a legal precedent in the UK by trying to avoid tax.

She lost her case against the HMRC.

R20 IMDB lists her salary for Power (1986) $1,000,000

Another vote for Petulia. Such an odd time capsule of a film. I used to shop at The Cala Foods she goes to when I first moved to San Francisco. To the poster who said they were before his time, most of her movies were before my time but I’ve managed to see them.

I like Far From the Madding, too

And I love The Go-Between

Heaven Can Wait

Can it? Can it really?

Don’t look now
