I grew up watching Rathbone as Holmes and (although I like Peter Cushings outings in the role) he will always be my favorite Holmes. -------------------- The best Veronica Mars dedicated site on the web: http://vm-boards.com/

The looks, the movement, the voice and even the sideburns. :D Some actors have that little bit extra, and I think that's what he had. B) Cheers, Ian

Check out that Brett has no votes yet, surely a surprise since many fans claim he is the best of the bunch. My two favorite Universal Holmes movies are FACES DEATH and HOUSE OF FEAR. I also really love both of the Fox Holmes movies HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES and THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES. -------------------- The best Veronica Mars dedicated site on the web: http://vm-boards.com/

Roger Moore in "Sherlock Holmes In New York"? ;) Not at all. As soon as I saw you had replied to this thread I was like "Doh! I know who I forgot to include in the poll. I love Roger Moore as 007 (he's my favorite by far) and he was excellent as Simon Templar and in his other movies but he's not my favorite Holmes. Still it's a very entertaining movie and MacNee makes a good Watson. -------------------- The best Veronica Mars dedicated site on the web: http://vm-boards.com/

Zencat evidently hasn't been to this forum yet. Brett has one now! :D I like alot of the Holmes as actors but the best Holmes are Ian Richardson and Jeremy Brett. I vote for Brett usually over Ian because he was in the most Holmes films. -------------------- "Hastings, mon ami, you are too quick to jump to the conclusion with your little hypothesis, non?"
