+Dagger Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 to many he was a link to the world in the middle of conflict and to others he was one of the funniest men on screen and stage,but no matter how he was seen Bob Hope was and always will be an icon.I still have my tickets(unused)to see one of his shows. I wish peace and solitude to his family in their time of loss and to the world..we're all a little emptier today. Quote
+pcpilot Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 Its hard to imagine a world without his humor. I grew up watchin' him as a kid and adult and loved every minute. Ill be watchin a Hope comedy tonight... My prayers and sinserest condolences to his family. We will all miss him... :( Quote
navychief Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 The movies that he made with Bing Crosby were classics. The "Road" pictures, as they were known, were great. My favorite was the Road to Morocco. Another great movie, in my opinion, was called, "The Ghost Breakers". Bob Hope's costar in the movie was Paulette Goddard. It is an outstandingly funny movie. In fact, I just ordered a used DVD copy of it on Ebay Half.Com. Bob Hope was a natural comedian, to be sure. I put him in the same category as Red Skelton; another great man. Navychief Quote
