Sherlock Holmes fan thread

[phantomstranger]

I'm a devoted Holmes fan. I ve read all the original stories as well as several books by different authors, as for the films. Jermy Brett was the best with Rathbone a very close second.

Favorite actor as Holmes: Of course Jeremy Brett. He is the best.

Always been a great fan of Holmes. Read all the originals of Doyle but none from the other authors. Haven't seen any of Rathbone films but few months back bought a DVD set containing 10 of his major films. Hope soon start to watch them one by one. My brother & I used to watch Brett's Granada TV series regularly on TV; even few years back we rent & watch the whole series again from local British Council Library. And lately again bought the whole series as soon as it finally get available at our local DVD shops. I'm grateful to my friends here who helped me with the illustrations & movie stills for my half page long article on Sherlock Holmes in a national newspaper that I wrote in my early high school days.:)

I just managed to pick up the entire Brett series for just over #30 :-)

I do think every one is wrong about the best Holmes as the answer is obviously ROGER MOORE:

[roshiq]

What? Moor also played Holmes!?! I didn't know that.:)

What's the title of that film...The Sign of Seven...(007)?

Anyway, I think Robert Stephens also did a credible job in The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970).

Sherlock Holmes in New York.

Moore played a pretty competent Holmes. His take on Clouseau in one of the Pink Panther films was also pretty good.

Tom Baker also played a decent Holmes in a version of the Hound of the Baskervilles (he was a little less manic than I expected though):



I'm a big fan of the Russian Sherlock Holmes Series too:

[Doc Faustus]

Worst Holmes ever was Matt Frewer.

[Ferox13]

Yeah I have a few of his version (4 I think)..

Has any one seen Edward Woodward play him in Hands of a Murderer?
