I only know My Little Chickadee and, er, Myra Breckinridge. What's considered essential Mae?

She Done Him Wrong
I'm No Angel
Belle of the Nineties
Goin' to Town
That's about it really.
Chickadee was her least favorite bcz it's really a Fields film she was shoehorned into.
Her very first film, Night After Night, is a George Raft vehicle that she completely takes over in her 15-20 minutes on screen.

I so want to be Mae West in that movie. Unfortunately most of the time I feel more like Alison Skipworth (although she is badass in certain other movies).
There's a supercut on YouTube of West in Myra Breckinridge. Popular culture has always taken the casting couch for granted, but the gender-flipped approach was cringeworthy even before Me Too.
