Bobhope

With the passing of Bob Hope in July, 2003, there were many articles about his life and work. According to the Associated Press (which I don't completely trust for accuracy--I know their list doesn't include his early short subjects), Bob appeared in 55 films. From their list I have seen 40 (currently), which I think qualifies me as something of an expert. I think Mr. Hope was so overexposed as a TV personality that it's forgotten that he was a hilarious comic actor. He never made a great film, but he made many excellent ones. Unfortunately, some of his films I haven't seen in many years, and a few I've seen just recently, which probably skews my opinions a little; nonetheless, here's my list of the 10 best, and I don't think you'll find it too idiosyncratic.
