Which versions are your favorite and which are your least favorite?

Walt Dinsey's Robin Hood
The Adventures of Robin Hood (with Erol Flynn)
Robin Hood Men In Tights (on of my favorite Mel Brook's movies)
BBC's Robin Hood
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves

(Does princess of thieves with Stephen Moyer and Kiera Knightly count? That one was so bad but I loved it.)

Ones I have to look into:
the one with Russel Crowe
the one with Audrey Hepburn and Sean Connery (legit just found out this exsisted)

I grew up watching the Disney version, which wasn't bad, but this one is the best in my opinion. I love the subtle humor. I like Robin. Much is hilarious. I would like Marion to loosen up a bit and give Robin a little love (I'm only on the 4th episode.). And where is friar Tuck? Aside from these shortcomings, I think this is number 1.

Life is for lovers, and lovers are for life.

The trivia section said that Patrick Troughton played Robin Hood in a 1953 version. Also in the 50's or 60's there was a tv version starring Richard Greene as Robin.

Michael Praed.

For you youngsters, he was the lead in Robin of Sherwood.

About Robin and Marian. Yes you do have to see the Connery/Hepburn version before deciding.

And you left off Richard Greene (Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen, Robin Hood, Robin Hood with his band of men, Robs from the rich, gives to the poor, Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood.) Four seasons on TV.

I must admit Errol Flynn (sp, Robin of Locksley in this one.) will always be my favorite. Basil Rathbone, Olivia de Havilland, Claude Rains, Alan Hale, Eugene Pallette, You can't beat that technicolor or the Korngold score. Bob Andersen isn't credited but I thought he worked on this picture. I know he worked with Flynn on more than Master of Ballantrae. Peter Diamond too.

Next would be Sean Connery's Robin and Marian.

Then Robin of Sherwood. You really do have to see that.

Robin Hood Men in Tights would be next, just ahead of the Zany Adventures of Robin Hood with George Segal. (Yeah, no one remembers that one.)

Richard Green's The Adventures of Robin Hood (sp. Robin of Loxley) would tie with the Disney animated movie. I think the Greene version was shown by Disney for a few years.

I wouldn't bother with Russell Crowe or Dances in Tights Kevin Costner. I didn't care for either of those. Costner was particularly offensive due to the accent, or lack thereof depending on where you live.

"When things were rotten" beats this mess

[–] mlaiuppa 8 years ago

Disagree.

I would rank "Rotten" behind Robin Hood Men in Tights and Zany Adventures of Robin Hood with George Segal.

I watched it when it originally aired. It was kinda funny but probably hasn't aged well.

Probably ranks equal to Wizards and Warriors.

Richard Green and Michael Praed were the best!

[–] jeff-kutach 8 years ago

Patrick Bergin is pretty good at Robin

Errol Flynn is probably my number one

Jonas Armstrong is good at at capturing a younger Robin Hood

Haven't seen the Michael Praed's Robin show yet, I have it on order
