Did you ever see the move How to Fill a Wild Bikini? It was one of the Annette/Frankie movies.

I have not seen an Annette/Frankie move is YEARS!!! I loved watching them :D:D:D

This one is the first one I believe that Von Zipper and his gang are in. He is hilarious. And I always love the songs and there is usually a band that plays. It's like a time warp to watch them! You get a 60's overload!

I love, love, love old movies. Any, and every one of them. My grandmother got me hooked on them when I was little. I am now 45, and trying to get my kids to watch them with me. They all kind of like them. There problems, is that there is no color. But to me, that is what makes the movie. More dramatic.

I think the black and white helps to get you into the era of the 30s and 40s. If there is color it doesn't feel the same.

You are certainly right there. I have seen some older pictures that have been "colorized", and the first thought in my head is WHY???

You guys made me remember one that I really liked: The Bride Came COD with James Cagney & Betty Davis.

great pairing & comedy. :)

I love James Bond movies so I have always loved the Matt Helm movies with Dean Martin and the Flint movies with James Coburn. They poke such fun at the Bond movies.
