@elisaintjohn987511 ай бұрын
Another well-done ranking, Daniel! (You are rapidly becoming one of my favorite youtubers.) I can't argue with your choices. Having grown up with this series in the 1970's, I purchased the DVD box set when released, and then the Blu-Ray box upon its release. Some years ago I re-watched the entire series back-to-back and came to many of the same conclusions as yourself. On another note, and IMHO, the British series Sherlock Holmes (1984-1994), starring Jeremy Brett, is a much more literate and enjoyable take on the detective. I hesitate to pick who played Sherlock better, Brett or Rathbone, but overall, and again IMHO, as much as I love the Fox/Universal run of films, the British series is the gold standard by which all others must be judged.

One aside, it might have been worth mentioning the radio series with Rathbone and Bruce that rand during roughly the same time, though it lasted a bit longer. Finally, Nigel Bruce plays a very similar duckish sidekick character in the Hitchcock film Suspicion. If you enjoy Nigel's Watson you will enjoy Suspicion.

Thanks so much for doing this, Daniel. I grew up with the Rathbone Holmes films and love them to this day. IMO, the two best are The Scarlet Claw and The Hound of the Baskervilles. Although I understand why some people don't care for the WWII-era films, I've always had a fondness for Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon. And Colonel Sebastian Moran of Terror by Night actually was a character in the Conan Doyle books. By the way, you might be interested to know that Patricia Morison of Dressed to Kill was a Broadway musical star, performing in more than 1,000 productions of Cole Porter's Kiss Me Kate. And finally, you really do need to watch some episodes of Jeremy Brett's Holmes series. However, please don't start with The Hound of the Baskervilles as it's one of the show's lesser efforts and will give you a wrong impression of the overall series. Brett is fantastic as Holmes, and the series is very true to the original stories.

Furthermore I agree with you, contrary to many others, that Basil Rathbone is my definitive Holmes (yes, above even Jeremy Brett) and is simply superb. Here is where our opinions slightly diverge: I rank Hound of the Baskervilles (my favorite in written form) and Adventures of SH considerably lower than do you, Pursuit to Algiers slightly lower, and Woman in Green higher. Scarlet Claw might take the cake for me (so atmospheric), though House of Fear is wild and great stuff as well. Cheers!

This is my favorite set of guilty pleasures. I could watch them over and over again. These two actors are my favourites just for pure entertainment value and escapism. As Hammer attempted to copy and update Universal's horror/murder mystery canon, something that any classic film buff can see, my second favorite Holmes is Peter Cushing. I only wish they would have cast Miles Malleson as Watson as that might have filled the Bruce-esque type of Nigel's mannerisms that still floated in the ether after his death. As for the 14 films, we probably all have our personal ranking lists. For myself, while Voice of Terror being the first "mod" outing during terrible times and might seem a bit clumsy, I think "In Washington" is the least of these films. I find that a person wants it to be much better than it is. To me, it's really clumsy but still enjoyable to some degree. As far as the Moriartys are concerned, it's very difficult to pick between Daniel, Atwill and Zucco, all great character actors in their own way. You find Daniel boring and that's fine but I found him so totally cold and unmoved from any evil he might partake in that he seems quite scary. With Daniel, nothing moves him in any way perhaps with the exception of being foiled by Holmes. One of the great things about SH Faces Death is that the convalescent home is mainly for shattered war vets who have "survived" the rigours of war time which takes us to an era after Holmes and Watson helped to win the war in the films you like the least. I just thought it was a pretty respectful departure from a time people wanted to forget. I've gone on a bit too long I'm sure so my humble opinion that can be added to the pile is In Washington" is the least of the series, "Scarlet Claw" is the best of the "mods" and "The Adventures" is the best over all.

I've seen some of these over the decades. The Hound of the Baskervilles is my favorite (I think the novel is regarded as one of Sir Doyle's best story on Sherlock Holmes). I do prefer the 1st 2 movies set in the 19th century as the original stories were written. I do agree Dr. Watson was more of a bumbling person as opposed to his portrayal in the stories/novels. Another issue was making Dr. Watson older than in the stories. Universal should have kept the characters in the 19th century. Not sure why modernizing Sherlock Holmes would have appealed more to the audiences back then (I guess cost may have played a big factor. I'm assuming Universal films were done on the cheap). Slightly off-topic, the BBC Sherlock Holmes series done with Jeremy Brett were great in that they kept Holmes in him in the 19th century and did adapt most, if not all, the original stories.
