Sherlock Holmes fan thread
Ok the new film is coming out with Guy Richie's version of a Holmes film which is looking a bit like 'Pirates of Baker St' or some other action adventure..
Who else likes these 'dry cocaine fueled' detective tales? Who was ya fave? Jeremy Brett? Peter Cushing? Chrish Lee? Tom Baker?

Jeremy Brett. Because of the dreadful misuse of the character I pitched a sexually explicit Bizarro romance novel starring Holmes, but it was justly rejected. It's America's loss that they don't get to read Sherlock Holmes in Return to Rape Cove.

It's an amazing thing to be in a room with ten Bizarro authors all looking at you like you've grown another head.

Big fan. Have all the books hardbound and also in special original newspaper reprint editions by Wordsworth Classics.
Watched all the Brett episodes and I thought he was quite perfect. Hound of the Baskervilles was pretty good too. Really looking forward to see Ritchie-Downey Jr's take on Holmes.

How can you not even mention Rathbone? He personifies the part, though I did really like Jeremy Brett & Nicole Williamson.

Oh yes how could I forget! Basil Rathbone was probably the best, with Brett a close second IMO.
On a side note, Nigel Bruce was pretty competent for a flawed Watson.

I am currently reading through all the Sherlock Holmes (Conan Doyle) books. Currently reading The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.
I love these books. I read them all as a child, but recently had the urge to read them again. They are still as brilliant as I remembered. I am another Rathbone/Bruce fan. Those movies were also favourites during childhood.

I do love Rathbone as Holmes but I think he lacked the manic depressive nature that was such a big part of the Doyle Character. Nigel Bruce did give us Petri Wine though..
I do quite liek the Ronald Howard series too:  I'd like to see that Chines Kung fu film with Holmes in it (though it look dreadful)

Thank you! I was reading from the beginning and couldn't believe no one had mentioned him. He's my favorite Sherlock!
