    If you're in the market for a deft, gorgeous movie about finding joy and love in the project of resisting totalitarianism, you could do a lot worse than The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938).

    I seldom suggest movies made in the Thirties, but one is special. The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) was praised for its masterful and intentional use of vibrant colors to enhance the mood and narrative without distracting the audience. Perhaps the most famous color movie of the decade.

    One movie a day for 365 days - just the movies I like. 27/365: The Adventures of Robin Hood. Handsome, athletic, bold, brave, charming, dynamic, generous, untamed. He's an archer, a swordsman, a rider, a lover and a politician. He runs, jumps, climbs and fights. Flynn is perfect.

    Trigger (1934-1965) was purchased by Roy Rogers in 1943. Originally named Golden Cloud, Roy renamed him “Trigger” for his quickness of both foot and mind. Golden Cloud made an early film appearance as the mount of Maid Marian, played by Olivia de Havilland in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938).

    Do you love Robin Hood: Men in Tights, but have never seen The Adventures of Robin Hood??? (Mel Brooks was taking shots at more than just Prince of Thieves! 🏹) Do yourself a favor and watch the film, and then listen to the episodes of the Into the Greenwood podcast where we review these movies. 😉

    One of my favorite film genres is “Basil Rathbone, who was an excellent fencer, has a sword fight with the hero.” The climactic battle in THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD is one for the ages.

    What is the best Robin Hood movie of all time?. Robin Hood. Steal from the rich to give to the poor. Maid Marian. The Sheriff of Nottingham, and/or Prince John as villains. Friar Tuck and Little John as allies. It's an old story with at least a dozen adaptations. But which one is your favourite? Do you think one of them stands head and shoulders as the best? And was it your first adventure through Sherwood Forest? My first Robin Hood was *probably* the Disney one, but I never thought of it as…

    Now I want to watch Aliens *again*. Possibly the film I've watched most times in my life 🤔? That, or Star Wars (the OG), or LOTR (FOTR), or The Adventures of Robin Hood (Errol Flynn), probably...if I'm being honest. Not exactly high brow, but all brilliant, in my opinion!

    Erich Korngold won his second Oscar for THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD. By now, Korngold had laid the foundation for the Hollywood action-adventure score: the Wagnerian leitmotifs; rich, symphonic underscoring; fast, driving passages for chases and fight scenes. 14/32 #filmsky #moviesky #botd

    Ah the lost art of movie fencing - studios used to train actors to do this all the time. It was best done in The Adventures of Robin Hood with Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone. This movie obviously motivated Mel Brooks to cast Cary in a similar role to both. #hatm

    It impossible for me to be at all objective since it was a formative part of my childhood, but *the* Robin Hood movie for me is The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) starring Errol Flynn. Buckles are swashed, scenery is chewed, the rich are robbed, and it looks gorgeous and has a top 10 film score.

    The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) wasn’t always my favorite movie. In middle school and part of high school, it was The Three Musketeers (1993), and Tim Curry’s delightfully wicked portrayal of Cardinal Richelieu was a huge reason why.

But this is an opportune moment to remind everyone that THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (1938) is one of the most perfect family films ever made. It is absolutely delightful from front to back.

    After spending the day intensely lethargic, I watched The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) Visually, this movie is ageless. The colour, the framing, the costumes--sumptuous. Drags a little for me around the 3rd act but the fight between Flynn and Rathbone, both trained swordsmen, is unreal.

    I remember when I thought Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was the best movie I'd seen. It's still the best Robin Hood movie out there. Its parody, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, is also considered among the best, but it's fourth for me, behind Disney's and the Errol Flynn one from, I think the 1930s or 1940s? The Adventures of Robin Hood. The new ones suck. Kevin Costner couldn't get the accent right, so director Kevin Reynolds told him to stop trying and just use his natural American accent. This…

    I so much want there to be a better Robin Hood since Prince of Thieves. I know Men in Tights is widely loved, but it's a parody. Even so, it's at least as valid as the Disney cartoon, and to my eyes, equally enjoyable. The 2010 Robin Hood with Russel Crowe was trash IMO. The more recent one with Taron Egerton was trash too, but it was *fun* trash. I enjoyed it once. My second favorite Robin Hood is the one from 1938, *The Adventures of Robin Hood*.

For example I recently watched Lost Horizon and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), both excellent despite their age.
