katikat... Some time ago I asked about Sherlock Holmes and Jeremy Brett - link.
... Yesterday, I finished reading The Return of Sherlock Holmes - The Adventure of the Empty House and The Adventure of the Norwood Builder are a must-read for all the Holmes/Watson shippers out there!
... And then I stumbled across this Tumblr post - link - which made me want to watch some good old Holmes movies.
So, who do you like as Sherlock Holmes? What movies/series have you seen and consider them worth checking out?
Myself? I like Robert Downey Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch but I understand that the retoolings aren't everybody's cuppa - especially not the "purists'". I also saw Matt Frewer's Holmes movie - which was quite good! - and Christopher Lee's - which was awful, IIRC, his Holmes was a bumbling senile fool. And that's it, I think.
So, what about you?
