Every now and then, we all need a movie that serves as pure, luxurious escapism — and it doesn't get better than the 1964 musical "My Fair Lady." The musical, based on the play "Pygmalion," follows Eliza, played by Audrey Hepburn, a flower seller plucked out of obscurity by phonetics professor Henry Higgins, played by Rex Harrison, who teaches her to speak in a perfect, clipped, upper-class accent. The film is romantic, beautiful, and charming. And, with a score of 95 of Metacritic, it's also one of the best-reviewed films of all time.

As Roger Ebert wrote, "What distinguishes 'My Fair Lady' above all is that it actually says something. It says it in a film of pointed words, unforgettable music and glorious images, but it says it." So, what does it say? Well, as one critic explained in a 2014 piece for Time, the movie is far more than an "outdated rom-com" about a girl who chooses a misogynistic man. Rather, it's a "movie about a sexist time." With that in mind, you can enjoy the lavish costumes and musical numbers without too much guilt!
