Marie Antoinette, and by quite some margin. The Virgin Suicides could do with a rewatch, though.
The Beguiled is such a disappointing misfire (dismally lit, stiltedly acted, does nothing that the far superior Siegel film doesn't do much better), and Dunst in particular doesn't do it any favours.

The remake (which I remember not disliking, but I've only seen it once), also excludes the slave character, which is a big oof on Sofia's part, given that until literally Marlon Wayans in On The Rock, one of her biggest criticism was how white her movies were. |

The Beguiled is probably Coppola's worst movie, though Dunst is very good in it. Virgin Suicides is nice-ish. Marie Antoinette is outstanding. I have been meaning to rewatch it for *checks calendar* 18 years, and not yet gotten around to it, but at the time it struck me as the rare original work in a medium where original work was fading.

oh Marie Antoinette hands down, and that's her best overall film too. Certainly her prettiest and most fun, and incredibly influential. The movie's modern sensibilities and killer needledrops ushered in a new wave of revisionist costume dramas that's still going strong and shaking up what used to be a stuffy genre.
The Beguiled pales in comparison to the 1971 version. Narratively, visually, the acting, just not as good across the board. I'd argue Kidman's icy performance makes it still worth watching but Geraldine Page was in a whole other league.

The Virgin Suicides, Coppola's best movie after LiT. Marie Antoinette is good, though I'm not as in love with it as a lot of people seem to be. I agree that The Beguiled is probably her worst movie overall, though I'd still give it a slight thumbs up.

Dead heat between The Virgin Suicides and Marie Antoinette right now.
Hopefully the tie can be broken.

Marie Antoinette for me Its the movie of 2006 worth remembering. A few others I like: the Lee joint. The Mann. The Linklater. But Marie is my favorite. I dont care for Children of Men and The Departed. Somewhat ok with Pan's Labyrinth and The Lives of Others but I'm just really shallow here. I prefer Marie Antoinette. I like fun things. Marie Antoinette is one of the 20 most entertaining movies of all time. The girlish hobbies of Marie as she goes thru progressions of her life and into adulthood is not only more historically accurate than thinking 18th century aristocratic life was all politics, but its done in a style that emphasizes entertainment. People say it has no substance but I disagree, the substance is what you choose to find interesting and if you dont find what Marie is doing interesting you find ways to dismiss it. But I saw myself in Marie. She lives a life of simple things...like laughing at the kind of orderly around her, and making fun of the way people dress. The movie peaks when the Countess du Barry leaves the court, I feel like the movie reaches an emotional peak of love and loss. Marie Antoinette is closer to Amadeus than Nick W. Refn which people wanna say it is. And I'd say Amadeus is closer to the 20 most entertaining movies of all time as well. Just these eccentric characters as they descend into further far gone versions of themselves. In Wolfgangs case, we follow him as his artistic genius eventually turns to madness. In Marie's case, she gets consumed by her own environment and even if the movie doesnt emphasize Marie's downfall as much...her downfall is her over indulgence in her own environment. I agree The Beguiled is probably the lowest Coppola overall. On the Rocks being so sweet lifts it. On the Rocks is also just a very lived in and very life reflective and good movie. Priscilla is an interesting and enjoyable true story just not able to dent Lost in Translation or Marie Antoinette. The Bling Ring has a  to it, so all in all....I'd definitely say The Beguiled has the least going for it. Also....why is this only open for a day??? I didnt get a chance to diatribe Hanks and Spielberg. |

I'd also like to add.
Interchange Johansson with Dunst in Lost in Translation and you get a better movie. Dunst has a beautiful artistic intrinsic quality to her that is everything in the name of demure and soft.
Scarlett did everything she could with the role and it's my favorite of hers overall and I think she slayed it but imagining Dunst in the role is like blaring sirens in heaven.
You cannot interchange the two in Marie Antoinette. You could get away with changing Dunst for Scarlett in Virgin Suicides but I dont think it'll change much whereas I can see Dunst becoming pretty much Scarletts daddy in the history books if she were cast in LIT.
Not sure why Sofia didnt go there, as Dunst is her muse after all.
