On any day I might give a different list of my top 10 all-time favorite movies, but the film that will always rank near the top is The Adventures of Robin Hood — the 1938 version featuring Errol Flynn, of course. It’s the greatest swashbuckler of them all, featuring the classic story of a champion for the down-trodden facing off against irresistable odds. The cast is terrifice: Basil Rathbone is charmingly menacing as Sir Guy of Gisbourne; Olivia de Havilland is the sweet, naive Maid Marian; Claude Raines plays the oily Prince John; Alan Hale, Sr. is the irrepressible Little John; and the one-and-only Flynn is Robin of Locksley. The musical score by Korngold is magnificent, perhaps the best original score ever.
