I just ended watching "Here comes the Groom" as you adviced me and it was really funny, beautiful and nice because I like the story "Pygmalion" by Bernard Show and these two things are alike, some way! Also it was really amazing when the Great Band (Dorothy, Phill, Louis and others) was singing with Bing.
Any other ideas?
It will be interesting for me to hear/to read any of them.

Riding High is one of my Bing favorites too (just one of them) esp. good time to watch it now in May as it's all about horse racing.    Sounds like you've watched many Bing films already, you've already seen one of my faves "Here Comes The Groom"  and aside from Riding High my other favorites are Welcome Stranger (my #1 favorite) & Sing You Sinners.

Now I change the main point of the topic.
I was trying to find Bing's movie "Just an Echo" (1934) and I couldn't find it anywhere.
Can somebody tell me veither it is even possible?

If it is, can you share a link?

Ok, that's quite strange, taking the fact that other Bing's shorts are avaliable into the account, but that's all right.
May be it will appear somewhere later.
I guess, we'll find out.

Thanks for the reply, Malcolm.))

Thanks a lot for your advice, Lobasco.
I think that your ranking is quite fair and these movies are really great.))

I'll second that, Tom - although (I know, I know ), I have still yet to see "The Country Girl"!

My favourite rankings (of what I've so far seen) are:

1: High Society
2: Road to Morocco
3: Holiday Inn
4: Rhythm on the River
5: White Christmas (I know, often viewed as far from Bing's best but just a warm, sentimental favourite)

Hello Tom. Thanks for beginning another great "thread"
Yes, I also found myself taking time with this. I was mindful that your question was regarding our favourite films and not the those we judged to be the best or even the best performances Bing gave within them. "Robin and the Seven Hoods", I would also rate as a high favourite.

I find it fascinating how certain top flight international singing stars (such as Bing and Frank Sinatra) were also terrific actors and yet others of a similar calibre were as unconvincing and as "single note" as they come. I believe Bing had the best of both worlds, in so far as he was superb at beautifully projecting his own pleasant, established screen image with such natural acting. Yet character wise, he proved a number of times that he could also stretch himself considerably beyond his familiar personality. However, this sometimes (despite my current list) can play a part (no pun intended) in helping me decide which films of Bing's are my favourites for now (I can be so fickle on this particular subject).

I always forget about "Riding High"! I will have to watch that again soon.

Any Bing movie is worth watching but the only two Bing films that I do not like at all are "Say One For Me" (1959) and "The Road To Hong Kong" (1961) - the music was good, but the films themselves are horrible.
