Well this is a no-brainer.  Sure he probably wasn't marriage material, but who cares?! 

Errol Flynn.  Why? Because he's gorgeous! 

His most iconic movie: The Adventures of Robin Hood

But my personal favorites are Gentlemen Jim, Never Say Goodbye, Uncertain Glory, and The Sisters.

Most Wanted Errol Flynn Film: the aptly named The Perfect Specimen

 I'm such a huge fan of any ERROL FLYNN.

Today at the jazz guitar website is yet debate about Ringo.    Someone said given his limited ability,  he was perfect for the Beatles since one can hear in his playing the emotional connection he had with his mates.

Someone else took that as a knock on Ringo.       I don't.        Ringo (or the vast majority of rock drummers),   does have less ability then a jazz drummer.    But for me he was a perfect fit for the Beatles and their music.      A drummer with more technical ability wouldn't have improved the music.   If anything it would lessen the overall impact and sound of the music.       A musician's "value" to a band isn't measured solely on technical ability or any other single attribute.       Ringo was the perfect fit for the Beatles and the sum-of-the-parts is what is important in any band (rock,  blues, jazz,,,, doesn't mater which genre).

    

RINGO's reputation as a drummer has been up and down, the same as a solo artist.  He was the perfect fit for THE BEATLES; we agree.  I have always loved RINGO the best, though JOHN is the one I admire most.

Old Wave by Ringo Starr-Jun 1983

The last ex-BEATLE album I bought was either Double Fantasy (actually a Christmas present that year) or McCartney II... the only RINGO  album I know I owned was Blast From Your Past.  I've enjoyed reading and learning from your reviews about these albums I ignored.  Particularly the RINGO albums I'd forgotten about.
