2	The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz, William Keighley featuring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Basil Rathbone, Claude Rains, Patric Knowles In order to avoid the material copyrighted by Douglas Fairbanks Sr. for his 1922 Robin Hood, the scripters of this Flynn version relied on several legendary episodes that had never before been filmed, notably the battle between Robin and Little John (Alan Hale Sr., who played this part three times in his long career) and the "piggy-back" episode ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £6.93!
3	The Mark of Zorro (1940) more movies like this directed by Rouben Mamoulian featuring Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell, Basil Rathbone, Gale Sondergaard, Eugene Pallette This is perhaps the best of the many Zorro films as Tyrone Power gives an outstanding performance as the alternately swishing and swashbuckling son of a 19th century California aristocrat. As a champion of the oppressed, Zorro must face a wicked governor portrayed by J. Edward Bromberg, who, of course, has a beautiful niece whom our hero loves. ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £5.54!

6	We're No Angels (1955) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring Humphrey Bogart, Aldo Ray, Peter Ustinov, Joan Bennett, Basil Rathbone Samuel and Bella Spewack's English adaptation of French playwright Albert Husson's morbidly humorous stage piece My Three Angels was brought to the screen as the heavily laundered but still wickedly funny We're No Angels.

7	Sherlock Holmes Faces Death (1943) more movies like this directed by Roy William Neill featuring Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Hillary Brooke, Milburn Stone, Arthur Margetson There are those who consider Sherlock Holmes Faces Death to be the best of Universal's Holmes series, though others hold out for 1944's The Scarlet Claw. Based loosely on Conan Doyle's The Musgrave Ritual, the plot finds Holmes (Basil Rathbone) and Watson (Nigel Bruce) being summoned to the Musgrave estate when several mysterious murders occur.

8	A Tale of Two Cities (1935) more movies like this directed by Jack Conway featuring Ronald Colman, Elizabeth Allan, Edna May Oliver, Reginald Owen, Basil Rathbone It is a tale known well, filmed many times over the years, but never better than this early black and white version from the MGM Studios, David O.

10	The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939) more movies like this directed by Sidney Lanfield featuring Richard Greene, Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Lionel Atwill, John Carradine, Wendy Barrie Though it takes a few liberties with the Arthur Conan Doyle original -- not the least of which is turning Sherlock Holmes into the second lead -- The Hound of the Baskervilles ranks as one of the best screen versions of this oft-told tale. After learning the history of the Baskerville curse from the hirsute Dr. Mortimer (Lionel Atwill), Sherlock ... see all copies from £7.27! new only from £8.46!
