Bob Hope is everyone's favorite comedienne. Or at least, he's one of mine. I can't remember the first film I saw of his. It was either Son of Paleface (1952) or My Favorite Brunette/Road to Bali (double feature dvd from Dollar Tree). Whichever film it was, I found Bob to be hilarious and now own several of his movies. His bromance with Bing Crosby is one of the greatest ever captured on film (Bing has a cameo in virtually every Hope film. If not Bob makes a crack about him). I still have lots of his movies to see, but here are my favorites:
1. The Ghost Breakers (1940) - Paulette Goddard
2. Caught in the Draft (1941) - Dorothy Lamour
3. The Princess and the Pirate (1944) - Virginia Mayo
4. My Favorite Brunette (1947) - Dorothy Lamour
5. The Lemon Drop Kid (1951) - Marilyn Maxwell
6. Son of Paleface (1952) - Jane Russell and Roy Rogers
7. Paris Holiday (1958) - Anita Ekberg
8. Alias Jesse James (1959) - Rhonda Fleming
9. Bachelor in Paradise (1961) - Lana Turner
10. The Road to... Series with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour (except Hong Kong) - ok, I'm cheating with this one but I don't remember which ones I like best)
What film was your introduction to Bob Hope? Which of his films is your favorite?
