Queen Latifah has done over 60 movies, and Jennifer Hudson wants to know which ones are her favourites.

The screen and music legend appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Wednesday, and attempted to pick one title, with a little help from the audience who call out their go-to Queen Latifah movies.

"I can't pick just a favourite, you know what I mean? I love them all in different ways," says Latifah in the clip above, of course, first throwing to 1996 icon Set It Off with Jada Pinkett Smith, Vivica A. Fox, and Kimberly Elise.

"Set It Off was fun," she says. "You know, I got to go to work with my girls every day, rob banks, and bring such emotion and drama. But we had fun, we were like a sisterhood when were filming that movie, I really enjoyed that."

Latifah runs through some of her repertoire including Bessie and Taxi, but there's a solid favourite after all: 2006's Last Holiday.

"I think Last Holiday is absolutely one of my favourite movies," she says. "Sometimes you get to do something that helps you live your life right. Last Holiday was about living life to the fullest, and I really needed to live my life as if it was my last day. There's just something that shifts in you when you're doing that."
