Th...Kind of like selecting your top 5 AC/DC albums. The list will change frequently, practically every one of their works is a contender, but there's one constant on just about every list...with MEET FRANKENSTEIN being A and C's BACK IN BLACK.<br /><br />That said, I'd have a second constant, for I'd have to find a spot for THE NOOSE HANGS HIGH; "Mudder/Fodder", the dentist scene and the rare opportunity to have the hilarious Leon Errol co-starring with the boys puts that one high on my list.<br /><br />The special effects in INVISIBLE MAN would probably put it into my top 5 as well, though THE KILLER, BORIS KARLOFF could just as easily get that spot.<br /><br />And for me, BUCK PRIVATES has to be there more often than not.

Bud and Lou meeting Sondergaard is surely a rival for any Universal monster. <br /><br />I might place Who Done It? higher, but then I'd be fighting with the hubby over where to put The Naughty Nineties.<br /><br />I am maybe not that big a fan of Hold That Ghost, but I rather like the musical interludes. That's just the kinda hairpin I am.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-75039025314793807662018-05-13T22:46:34.369-04:002018-05-13T22:46:34.369-04:00I like all of the monster-themed A&C films.

In fact, MEET THE MUMMY includes one of my favorite routines in which Bud and Lou each try to slip the other one the dangerous medallion (and Lou winds up eating it in a hamburger!).Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-14423400894117637522018-05-13T19:42:03.220-04:002018-05-13T19:42:03.220-04:00Apropos post for a Sunday, since me and many other...Apropos post for a Sunday, since me and many other tri-staters (NY, NJ, CT) grew up watching Bud n' Lou on Sunday mornings, 11:30, WPIX. <br /><br />I definitely fall into the camp you describe and would place MEET FRANKENSTEIN at the top with TIME OF THEIR LIVES not even placing. I was never a big fan of the comedies set in different times, like their vanity projects JACK AND THE BEANSTALK and MEET CAPTAIN KIDD.<br /><br />My personal top five--and it's a list based solely on what I like and the ones I always return to with a reckless disregard of artistic merit: (1) MEET FRANKENSTEIN, (2) RIDE 'EM COWBOY (with singing cowboy Dick Foran), (3) PARDON MY SARONG, (4) WHO DONE IT? and (5) MEET THE MUMMY. Honorable mentions to HIT THE ICE, IN SOCIETY, and AFRICA SCREAMS. It's tough to narrow down a short list--so many are great and all are worth watching, yes, even DANCE WITH ME, HENRY!<br />Gary R.
