elizabeth taylor moviesVia Moviefone: How you think of Elizabeth Taylor, who died Wednesday of heart failure at 79, depends largely on your age. Younger fans might remember her as the tabloid creature whose fluctuating health was breathlessly chronicled throughout the last three decades of her life. Others may think of the gossip-rag queen who made headlines for stealing Eddie Fisher from America's sweetheart Debbie Reynolds, her eight marriages and her tempestuous romance with (and double marriage to) Richard Burton.

If you fit into either of those categories, though, that's a shame. Because for those who came of age in the '50s and '60s, Elizabeth Taylor was one of Hollywood's most luminous talents, one whose beauty dazzled moviegoers and who had the dramatic skills to match. Wanna talk about clout? Her diva-like behavior on the set of 1963's 'Cleopatra' postponed that epic production and nearly bankrupted 20th Century Fox.

But frankly, we wouldn't have cared about any of that had she not had the beauty and the talent to begin with. So ultimately it's what she left on the screen that matters. So here are 10 of Elizabeth Taylor's best movies -- 10 good reasons to clinch her place as a show business immortal.
