It's stated that Waterloo Bridge (1940) was Vivien Leigh's favorite film.

"Host: For her performance in "A Streetcar Named Desire" Vivien won her second Academy Award as Best Actress. It had been a triumph. In Blanche she exposed aspects of herself she had never shown before on screen or stage: her fragility, sudden dips into despair and desperation tht in the future would become more and more difficult."
"Host: She had appeared in ten films, in ten plays... but she was still not much recognized outside England. And then she heard of the search for a star for the movie version of Margaret Mitchell's best-selling novel. The setting was the American Civil War, the heroine a Southerner born and bred. Vivien Leigh has never even been to the United States and her natural accent was the purest upper-class English; but the role was the most coveted in the history of movies and Vivien Leigh decided to make it her own. And so she prepared to take Hollywood by storm."
