You'll be checking out the updated "Three Musketeers" film coming out next year, I take it, with Orlando in it?

Have you ever seen the old movie, "Scaramouche"? It's great, too.

Yes, I'll definitely be checking out the updated "Musketeers" movie with Orlando Bloom. And I have seen "Scaramouche". It's pretty good, but not a favorite of mine.

While both are OK films, neither the silent version and especially not the Stewart Granger one even begin to touch upon the awesomeness that is the book. That's one I really wish they would remake.

Which is funny, because I actually like the vaguely based Sea Hawk better than the book. I think it's Flora Robson playing her wonderful Elizabeth I.

Seeing Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone images make me happy!

So many good movies on your list. *nods*

Very good choices and I adore "The scarlet Pimpernel" with Anthony Andrews,so underrated actor, he was great. I would add to the list "Ivanohe" with Anthony Andrews and a wonderful Sam Neill and I would have listed "The three Musketeers" with Gene Kelly rather than the ones with Michael York...but I very like your list :)
