Steve’s Annette Funicello You Tube Video
(Visited 51 times)
Added Steve’s Annette Funicello video to the post…not a page?…what was I thinking? My comment on his video channel.
“Seems she was a celebrity the entire time I was growing up…..yet have only seen two of her movies from beginning to end. #8 Back to the Beach and #1 Head (and she is barley in that one). But that is 13% of her movies. Nice posters…..as many represent the last work of Walt Disney. Fun page. Just a quick Joel note….she is ranked as one of the worst actresses in his book…..Rating The Movie Stars….either 2nd to last or 3rd to last. Good job. Voted up and shared.”
Hi Bruce, I completely forgot you did a page on Annette and not too long ago. My video was a request from a viewer on my channel, he wanted a Pat Boone video too.
Your 2 beats my 1, Flora managed 4. I would have thought you’d seen all the Disney films she appeared in, especially The Shaggy Dog.
Well Joel wasn’t impressed with Brando or John Wayne either so Annette is in good compeny. 😉 Thanks for the vote, share and comment, it is appreciated.
too cute, too upbeat, too mickey mouse. I saw 6 which may make me the number 1 Annette fan amongst UMR commenters. not a proud moment. saw shaggy dog and babes in toyland on the big screen (saturday all day at the movies for kids/the first moms day out), sought out Vincent price and boris Karloff for 3 more. also saw beach blanket bingo. worst of all, thanks to UMR, Flora and Bruce, now I want to see Head.
Hey bob cox…..congrats on your Annette Funicello championship…gotta be a proud day for you….lol. Head is a very unusual movie…..but worth checking out at least once….though it will probably leave you really confused….but seeing a young Jack Nicholson running around is fun. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Annette. Sorry Boris and Vincent caused you to have to watch 3 of those Beach movies…lol.
Hi, Bruce.
I have seen 4 of Anette Funicello’s movies:
The Shaggy Dog
Bikini Beach
Beach Party
Head
Hey Flora….thanks for sharing your movie thoughts on Annette Funicello. Even though 4 is small….it still doubles the total of me and Steve. Actually….I just realized I watched Head too…..so my total is 2…..so Steve and I are at 3. But you still win…..thanks for stopping by.
Interesting subject Bruce, lots of beach party movies here.
I’ve only seen one of Annette’s movies from beginning to end, and that was Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine. I may have seen The Shaggy Dog when I was a kid but I can’t remember.
You should do a beach party page, all the movies that feature beaches and girls and bikinis.
Or how about a rock n roll page, all the rock n roll films of the 50s and 60s that might also include beaches and girls and bikinis.
Hey Steve….thanks for checking out our mine Annette page. She is in Joel’s book…..but if you thought his assessment of Jayne Mansfield was harsh….you should his assessment of Funicello. So….I have not included it…so far….lol. But of the 410 stars Joel ranked…Funicello is 409th….only Maria Montez (????) is ranked lower.
I have seen Back To The Beach…which I thought was funny….even though I am sure I did not get most of the jokes. But it was a pretty popular VHS tape that got rented on a regular basis (back in my video store days)….wow…now that I think about those days….seems I wrote a page on those days….but I have no idea where that page is…..the sadness of getting older….lol.
A beach movie page? Hmmm….I will have to give that suggestion a look….I think a Rock N Roll page might be more fun…..Elvis would be the King of that page….lol.
Thanks for the comment, visit and tally count.
I like this mini-UMR-page. Mini-UMR (think Austin Powers)
Hey SteinHOF…..Mini UMR Page…..I like it….now I just need to get Verne Troyer to play the part….lol.
This post/page comes from a comment/request from Mike. I was very surprised that we had almost all of her movies in our database. So we quickly put this together. I guess if it becomes a good view getter….we will expand it and make it a regular UMR page.
