Best / Favorite Bob Hope Comedy
The Ghost Breakers and My Favorite Brunette top my list. That Paulette Goddard and Dorothy Lamour are his co - stars are an added pleasure.

Re: Best / Favorite Bob Hope Comedy
The Ghostbreakers (1940 - hints the screen name) is my absolute favorite. My favorite scene is where he is in her suite, and she kisses him. He is so adorable, how could you not fall in love with him? He was brave in that one, too. Not too brave, he still had the turkey image... But probably my favorite of all of the characters he embodied.ken123 wrote:The Ghost Breakers and My Favorite Brunette top my list. That Paulette Goddard and Dorothy Lamour are added pleasures.

Lemon Drop Kid is one movie made from a Damon Runyan story that I've never been lucky enough to catch. Since it's a Paramount release, there may actually be a chance for it to be on TCM in the future.
Bob Hope is one of the stars that I feel like I've had with me my whole life.
I admit to having a weakness for Critic's Choice.

Hi Julie,
I've never seen Critic's Choice---in fact, there are several BH movies I want to see, including They Got Me Covered, Caught in the Draft and The Cat and the Canary.
I also want to rent some of his TV specials because I was too young to remember the last few that aired. I vaguely recall Brooke Shields being on them...
I can't believe I left out The Princess and the Pirate, considering I had such a ball watching it this weekend. Walter Brennan was too funny as Feathers. "Lay that egg!"

My favorite would be The Cat and the Canary, worth checking out if you can find it online. But I'm a sucker for almost any "old dark house" movie. That's one type of film that just isn't made (well) anymore today.
Some others that I like include The Ghost Breakers, Nothing but the Truth, and The Princess and the Pirate.
