Does anyone know of any other highwayman movies like this one?
shareWell, there's The Wicked Lady, which was not a comedy, and pretty awful, imo.
There's also a highwayman plot line in Moll Flanders (the miniseries version starring Alex Kingston).
And if you're looking for comedy, try Blackadder the Third: Amy & Amiability.
Try "Where's Jack?" Not a bad movie, or at least it seemed not bad when I was a teenager.

shareThe Lady and the Highwaymen <--- cheesy 80s TV movie with Hugh Grant! Its a bodice ripper! Love it! Its a shame there isn't more movie about Highwaymen culture?! A GREAT book on the subject is "Stand and Deliver! A History of Highway Robbery" by David Brandon.
You know I want to meet those friends that jump off bridges that my parents warned me about.
Don't forget the 1970s Dick Turpin TV series!
shareI'm surprised nobody has mentioned "Carry On Dick" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071281
shareI think there's a market out there for a good highwayman movie, as they are pretty thin on the ground. Unfortunately Plunkett & Macleane doesn't really fit the bill and I feel it's a tale of missed opportunities.🐭
shareIf you are just looking for a very similar movie I suggest Burke and Hare http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1320239/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_22 Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis, but this time playing period graverobbers with a comedic spin on two of Scotland's most notorious criminals.
