Best films with a Prostitute as the main character

I can't believe I didn't mention Crimes Of Passion. Streetwalkin' is one I have yet to see but I do have it.

Very long and slow paced movie.. Interesting though.

The Empty Canvas (1963)

Two Mules for Sister Sara and The Gauntlet.

I may go back to hating you. It was more fun.

The aforementioned McCabe & Mrs. Miller and Night Shift are two of my favorites. I don't believe anybody mentioned these, unless I missed them. All good to great...
