5: Sister Philippa

Black Narcissus again, and the somber,wise and ever so melancholy performance by Flora Robson as Sister Philippa is one of the most memorable things in this Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger classic. She is the gardening loving oldest nun of the small 5 strong group of missionaries battling faith,natives, and the strange atmosphere of the Himalayas.
Robson's quiet sadness, I always think is incredibly moving
