60 of 253 · most liked firstI really wish they would do another RDJ's "Sherlock Holmes" movie. I remember going to the cinema multiple times for the first one. Everything there clicked for me, the casting, the vibe, the music. Such a fun adventure flick.
positive · AI labelView post →Fabulous Swedish poster for the 1929 German silent movie version of the Sherlock Holmes’ adventure “Der Hund von Baskerville”.
neutral · AI labelView post →After woes with piracy, terrible adaptations and bad contracts, Doyle was finally pleased with a Sherlock Holmes adaptation. Eille Norwood played Holmes in 45 shorts and 2 featured produced by the Stoll film company. The series is in the process of being restored.

positive · AI labelView post →..."And my dear Holmes, there's an idiot on his trail!" WITHOUT A CLUE (1988) Dr John Watson (Ben Kingsley) as the brilliant detective who creates 'Sherlock Holmes' as a cover and hires a washed-up stage actor, Reginald Kincaid (Michael Caine), to pose as the brains of the operation. #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →I made it my goal to make Gene Wilder my most watched actor of 2026. But then, I started watching the Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes films, and now that is going to be difficult. 🤣 Movie 5 of #MurderMysteryMAYhem 2026.
neutral · AI labelView post →Murder By Decree opened OTD in 1979. I love that Jack The Ripper's identity is confirmed on the anniversary of the most underrated Sherlock Holmes movie, where Holmes pursues Jack the Ripper.
positive · AI labelView post →3/ In a rare surviving film clip, Arthur Conan Doyle points directly to Joseph Bell as the inspiration for Sherlock Holmes. One man. One gesture. And yet Bell has remained in the shadows—until now.
neutral · AI labelView post →Born on this day in 1914 was the American Film actress, Hillary Brooke. She is best known for appearing in two Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes movies. She was also in such films as I Cover Big Town, Africa Screams, Lost Continent and The Maze. #OnThisDay #botd

positive · AI labelView post →Utterly fabulous 1929 Swedish movie poster for “Der Hund von Baskerville”, a German take on “Sherlock Holmes - The Hound of the Baskervilles”. Of the artist, I regret I know nothing.

neutral · AI labelView post →As a Sherlock Holmes/Jack the Ripper movie completist, I checked out Detective Chinatown 1900 in a London cinema yesterday. I think I was the only non-Asian in a full house (several other screenings I looked up were sold out) which was also overwhelmingly young and female.

neutral · AI labelView post →One of my favorite Sherlock Holmes films The House Of Fear 1945 is free to watch with no adds on my Crime playlist. A old dark house themed film, along with 26 other classic crime films. Many more Sherlock Holmes films as well . Please subscribe to the YouTube Channel. youtu.be/-J8Peg1G31c

positive · AI labelView post →Let Andrade star in a Sherlock Holmes movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Just started S1 and still trying to reconcile the fact that the brief for the character is Sherlock Holmes but the size of Zangief and they cast Tom Cruise in the movie?
negative · AI labelView post →Today's mail call! A long overdue purchase. Of all the tv and film adaptations of Sherlock Holmes, Jeremy Brett's series is my favorite.
positive · AI labelView post →Woke up a 5am in pain again. I tried reading, but my eyes were too bleary so I turned on an old Sherlock Holmes movie only to be reminded of how much I hate Nigel Bruce's Dr. Watson. The horror. The horror.
negative · AI labelView post →Tower Bridge under construction in 1889 (in colour) This is why Guy Ritchie's first Sherlock Holmes film was pretty accurate... as he used this as one of the reference images...
neutral · AI labelView post →This is a thorough history of rights-holders' influence over (mostly) film adaptations of Sherlock Holmes. For folks excited about Sherlock in the public domain and free to be gay, I HIGHLY recommend "Watson's Sketchbook," by @leeknoxostertag.bsky.social mkobooks.bigcartel.com/product/wats...
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s an astounding double premiere weekend in my household! First, the Star Trek Section 31 movie hits Paramount Plus tomorrow (I assisted the writer on the film). Then, Watson premieres on CBS Sunday night, and I was lucky to be a staff writer on this new take on the Sherlock Holmes mythology.
neutral · AI labelView post →One very underrated Christmas movie? Young Sherlock Holmes. It's Christmassy, nasty in places, has an absolutely tremendous score, and it's where a lot of the feel of the first Harry Potter movie came from.
positive · AI labelView post →A supernatural thief vs the great detective in the 1900 comedy film SHERLOCK HOLMES BAFFLED. Holmes was canonically dead when this unauthorized film was made and would not be officially resurrected for three more years.
neutral · AI labelView post →Meanwhile, apropos of absolutely nothing: it's a fabulous bit of film programming that goes from SHERLOCK HOLMES: INCIDENT AT VICTORIA FALLS (a 1992 Christopher Lee Holmes) to FISTS OF FURY. 🙂 ...Don't know who's running the UK satellite channel currenly branded "Together", but it works for me.
positive · AI labelView post →One of my favourite "time is weird" facts: There were film adaptations of Sherlock Holmes being made while the books were still being written.

positive · AI labelView post →David Ellison always looks like he’s on the receiving end of a slow motion punch in a Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes film
neutral · AI labelView post →I had a whole back & forth with a couple folks on Twitter coming up with descriptions of him. "Like Moriarty in a Sherlock Holmes movie set in Panama City" "The Doctor regeneration the fans pretend didn't happen" "Man has a subscription to Velour Enthusiast Quarterly"
neutral · AI labelView post →Books to film 📚=🎞️ The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle was adapted to film more than any other Sherlock Holmes story. It was filmed notably in 1939 (w/Basil Rathbone) & 1959 (w/Peter Cushing). Also, the films use 3rd person vs Watson's 1st person narrative. 🕵🏻♂️🎻🔎 #filmsky #booksky

neutral · AI labelView post →There's nothing stopping anyone from making a Sherlock Holmes movie with Brent Spiner and Levar Burton. I don't mean Data and Geordi, I mean literally Brent and Levar. What are we doing. Let's go.

neutral · AI labelView post →Young Sherlock Holmes is the best Holmes film ever made. I know the dialogue by heart in both English and Spanish, but I’d never seen it on the big screen. Thank you to @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social for bringing Nicholas Rowe and Sophie Ward (and a virtual Alan Cox) to Bristol.
positive · AI labelView post →It's weird that Quentin Tarantino never made a Sherlock Holmes movie. Maybe he doesn't know that the game is afoot.
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s Patrick Gowers’ birthday. He was a brilliant choral, tv & film composer. He composed all the music for my favourite version of Sherlock Holmes, the Granada series starring Jeremy Brett. The superb violin-led theme tune set the tone immediately & exquisitely. youtu.be/-mmVjr4BoCk?...

neutral · AI labelView post →Take a character that is well known for a genre, and pitch a movie of them in a totally different genre... where they still make sense. I'll go first. "Sherlock Holmes and the Chocolate Factory"
neutral · AI labelView post →we somehow stumbled across The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother (1975), a wacky film directed by and starring Gene Wilder, along with Madeline Kahn and Marty Feldman, that mostly got lost to time somehow this is absolutely incredible and hilarious and amazing
positive · AI labelView post →MR. HOLMES has been on my watchlist for awhile, and finally got around to seeing it. Magnificent film. Really enjoyed the quiet pacing of it and the characterization. Big thumbs up as a Sherlock Holmes fan.
positive · AI labelView post →@talkingpicturestv.bsky.social have vintage Sherlock Holmes mystery at 11.35am, with the classic Dressed to Kill. There's debates about the best Holmes, but I grew up watching these Basil Rathbone+Nigel Bruce movies, and they're fantastic stuff. #TalkingPicturesTV film-authority.com/2025/03/13/d...

David had a treasure trove of materials from ICOM! Are you a fan of the Sega CD classic Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective? Well, there's the literal film it was filmed on
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched The Pearl of Death (1945), another Sherlock Holmes film. A bit by-the-numbers, except for the welcome presence of Rondo Hatton as The Creeper, who murders people by breaking their spines. So obviously that rules.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Spider Woman (1943), a Sherlock Holmes movie with Basil Rathbone. These are always a blast but this one was especially good, with an exceedingly sinister Gale Sondergaard, and many spiders throughout.
positive · AI labelView post →New bonus ep is another clickbait special! James & Maso both equally having the best time with articles including Sherlock Holmes and a certain Batman movie... bigsandwich.co
neutral · AI labelView post →Boy was killing off Rachel McAdams in the second SHERLOCK HOLMES film a mistake. Cheapened the whole character and cut off the most delightful way to off-balance a very cocky Sherlock.
negative · AI labelView post →Everyone has their favourite Sherlock Holmes; I grew up with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. They feature in Dressed to Kill (1946), screening4pm (Wed) on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social Grab your hat and boots, there's not a moment to lose!!! #TalkingPicturesTV film-authority.com/2025/03/13/d...
