For some reason I was thinking last night about the Hope and Crosby “road movies,” and just how awesome they are. I can’t think of any other series of films that work so well as kitschy time capsules (and reminders of cavalier sexism and racism) but are also genuinely hilarious. If you haven’t seen these films, you really should.

As a study aid, I’ve linked to all my quickie reviews below. I watched all but one of these films in December of 2004.

Singapore
Morroco
Zanzibar
Utopia
Rio
Bali
Hong Kong
