So ... get your thinking caps on list your favorite couple in order of rank and since its late Saturday ...

I will have 16 polls set up for all of you to vote for two options to choose from.

Thank you all for taking time to read this and you have any questions ... drop off your concerns on this thread. So ... let's get those lists generated!

I've left out some fairly obvious ones, Johnny Weismuller and Maureen O'Hara, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby and Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, simply because I haven't seen them and Myrns Loy and William Powell because I've only watched the first Thin man, all these made more than 1 film together, I think so.

[Rita Hayworth]

Whoa! I don't think I could name 32 couples of anything, but here's 20 different pairings to kick this off. If I think of 12 others I'll add them later, okay?:

Not exactly in the order that ranks them from my most favorite down, but it was tough coming up with 32. I tried to do this without looking at any other lists. There are probably some I'll see and say, "Oh, yeah. I forgot about them." Still, here are 32 I came up with. (I tried to make sure that each pairing made more than one movie together. That is what makes them a ''couple". IMHO)

[mongoII]

I don't believe it. Not one Barbara Stanwyck pairing?
Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray or Gary Cooper or Henry Fonda
Stanwyck and Theresa Harris

[ChiO]

If i understand correctly, the ranking is in reverse order; e.g., #32 is my favorite & gets 32 points, and #1 gets 1 point. If that's wrong, then flip 'em.

17. Carlo Battisti and "Flike" (actually, two dogs played the single role)

Thanks Charlie T and ChiO.

ChiO - I understand your post perfectly clear

Your votes has been recorded.

You need to rank them in order.

And now you know why I avoid participating in polls. I stink at it. I'll work on it and let you know when I correct my original post. Oh, the pressure!

[Rita Hayworth]

CONTEST UPDATE

I have tabulated charliechaplinfan, CharlieT, and ChiO votes and waiting for Moirafinnie to put her selections in order.

When, you submit your list - please send me a PRIVATE MESSAGE immediately so that I can take care of it ASAP. I don't mind getting 2-3 a day ... but please, please send me it. So, I can process it as quickly as I can. Thank you for your humble cooperation.

[charliechaplinfan]

Now I'm confused about the points system, too early in the morning and no caffeine yet is my excuse, mine are in order, starting with Astaire and Rogers as favourites and working down, so if I've messed up your system Erik let me know.

I've got to say it was hard to come up with them and I've done it strictly based on my viewing but it's interesting to see the diversity that has come out so far.

[Rita Hayworth]

Allison, I understood your rankings perfectly clear. You did not messed up.
