    Ah, screw that video thing!

    My all time favourite Sherlock Homes is Jeremy Brett! Who is yours?

    (I bet Timmer will come up with Basil Rathbone! wink )

    Elementary my dear Volker biggrin

    Yes, I'm afraid I'm predictable in that Basil Rathbone is my favourite Holmes.

    Jeremy Brett may well be a close 2nd, he was brilliant!

    No. I will come up with Basil Rathbone.*)
    His iconic presence (and that of Nigel Bruce as Watson) has defined Sherlock for ever (even if it weren't true to the books). It's made the mold for excentric, aloof detectives, which each and every stereotype (and arguable Star Trek icons Spock and Data) have taken a leaf out of for their books.

    That aside, the films -anachronistic as they are: at times we find Sherlock foiling a Nazi plot- are just a sheer joy. And to my mind much more enjoyable than the rather humdrum books

    That said, the Hammer House's Hound Of The Baskervilles (with Peter Cushing as Sherlock) is really a very good interpretation. As a side note Christopher Lee played Sherlock a few times as well, but never in very good films.

    Special mention to Christopher Plummer, by the way, who set down an impeccable and fascinating study of Sherlock in the taut (but ultimately rather silly) Murder By Decree, which pits Sherlock against Jack The Ripper.

    Cushing's turn as Sherlock Holmes in Hammer's film was superb and what a superbly atmospheric version it was, it's my favourite.

    Cushing played Holmes many times but I don't remember seeing any of them?

    When Rathbone took on the Nazis? I'm guessing that was an early 40's Holmes film like when Weismuller's Tarzan ( Tarzan hate Nazi ) took them on?

    ...speaking of whom (Sherlock), who else thinks that what Guy did with Sherlock Holmes is horrible? Cheesy, low-quality one-liners, poor jokes, all over the place story, messy and generally cheap...with awful scoring. Didn't like that at all, neither the first or 2nd movie.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    I did enjoy the first one quite a bit, with the implied Dracula subplot.
    And the chemistry between the leads was superb.

    I have yet to see Ritchie's take(s) on Holmes.

    Of course! biggrin cool Despite being on YT I think I'll have to take an hour and 10 minutes of my time later and watch it again.

    As for Peter Cushing as Sherlock Holmes, here's some fascinating information for you Martijn. Damn but I want to see all these despite the problems mentioned.
