Brent Spiner made an excellent Sherlock in STNG!

[chuff255]

I really, really thank you guys because I am a Professional Entertainer and presently performing in Japanm, BOYYYY, what would I do with out U?

[chuff255]

Thank YouTube.

PS: If you guys have any more good Sifi movies....Put'em on...:}

[sifurick123]

is it possible to post the hounds of baskervilles

[gullkhan0]

For me, Jeremy Brett is the best Sherlock Holmes. He lived and died as a true Sherlock.

[2manynegativewaves]

@gullkhan0 As an adult I agree, but re living being 6 or 7 and watching these classics at 6pm on BBC 2 while tucked up in my grannies bed watching them on the old BW portable, you cant beat Basil and Nigel :)

[twacar]

Moriarty is like soooo many of these super villains, trying in vain to conquer the hero. Even though he either can't defeat him or is simply unwilling to do so. Yet, if they were to use their intelligence in a legal, maybe not so moral ways, they would conquere the world. Something like Dr. Evil owing Starbucks in Austin Powers. If he would have stuck with that, the world would be his, in a manner of speaking. yet, he must go after Austin, even though it blinds him to everything else.

Poor Moriarity in these episodes. He always winds up being the fall-guy.

[anikid0392]

This Holmes beats Downey Jr.'s Holmes.

[sparklinganderson]

@anikid0392 the tv show Sherlock was the best.

Oh man this is so good except I dont know why Basil's hair is combed funny....I much prefer the combed back of all the other movies

[cathytreks]

I enjoy both Basil Rathbone AND Jeremy Brett as Holmes! and why not folks? Really its all good! what does a time era mean anyway? why nothing, Sherlock Holmes was even featured quite well in a 24 century Star Trek Next Gen episode, its a classic character good in any age.

[MrLen120453]

A female pilot. Very progressive for 1943.

[DaveUFO]

I agree that this film is indeed a classic with classic Holmes (Rathbone) & Watson (Bruce). I have to say that personally I prefer a more modern Watson and the horse and cart era. Having said that I thoroughly enjoyed the Secret Weapon.

[PeterPiper00]

Folks, when you run out of Basil Rathbone, Sherlock Holmes movies to watch, you can start on the old-time radio shows! Rathbone and Bruce played Holmes and Watson in several dozen episodes of their own radio show in the 1940s.  It's especially good when you've seen these movies, you can really imagine the two characters. Just search for "Sherlock Holmes Rathbone OTR" (OTR=Old Time Radio) Btw there are tons of other interesting old radio shows out there.

[Whacko23]

I think the reason why so many people can play Holmes is because he seems to show so many different attitudes and moods. He can show his happier more social mood in Downey Jr.s incarnation, Brett shows a more serious Holmes, Cumberbatch portrays a sort of a sociopath and Rathbone plays are serious, yet likeable Holmes

[StuntStadium]

im 17 and my first sherlock movie was Basil and now hes the only one i watch

[MrLen120453]

@StuntStadium Smart lad.

[zorgen12]

Hey little kids, Basil Rathbone is the one and only Sherlock Holmes. You're all undeveloped babies that can't appreciate good acting. All you want or know of are all the new special effects that permeate all recent movies. When your brain develops you may be able to appreciate older movies with excellent actors like Basil Rathbone. A movie that concentrates on acting and is totally devoid of special effects.

[prasannakumar247]

I loved it.....no one can beat this kind of movies....

[spankfoam]

CHUCK NORRIS

[iFlute4life]

meh. the new one is far better.

[poecassandra]

LOL at 9:50 - throwing the gloves at the camera.

[anthonynewsome]

vile advert at start - but Jeremy Brett was a fantastic Holmes - also the new BBC version

[actualitycheck]

Moriarty - 'Brilliant man Holmes. Too bad he was honest...'

LOL. :-0

[actualitycheck]

I bought all the DVD's years ago.Classic! ;-)

[mariano474]

i ALMOST FORGOT WATSON :)

[naruotno1fangal]

@mariano474 HOW SOULD YOU? lolz XD

[ShiksaWithChutzpah1]

One of my favorite aspects of the old Universal movies is that they all use portions of the soundtracks from the horror films made by their own studio. :)

[GARY17998]

IT ROCKS!

[DivineNucleus]

a fatherly legend, to be a hero to the lost children abroad a ship with -- as it were, and JUSTICE being the blade of the hero, then, victorious. HEN CODE, code war you say? more like the jaws of a snare, fretted snare and a clever shank. HEN Code is loyal to Collin's word, like a jack knife. Arrange the preparations for the King. --

[asian9090]

there too funny

first holmes says that watson is untidy and throws his gloves and the watson says untidy holmes so who is untidy and throws his backpack

so which one is the really untidy one of them all

[ladyjung1]

I have had a crush on Basil Rathbone ever since I was a kid. There's just something sensual about his intelligence and calm demeanour.

[asian9090]

@ladyjung1 i may have to agree i just started watching this a couple of days ago and fell in love with it Basil is so awsome along with Jeremy Brett

[Karloffrules]

Absolutely Capital, drelbcom!! Basil Rathbone is my man Holmes, and Nigel Bruce just the perfect foil as Watson. J. Brett's Holmes' arrogance hits me like a tightwire of torture, though he is much beloved in the role by many fans. I grew up with these shadowy, atmospheric, theatrical versions of Holmes and love them--especially Hound of the Baskervilles!! Thanks so much for the trouble of the upload!

[volk22221]

#OMG a goocl movie to clownload it роор.su

[stOOpid68]

Basil Rathbone was Headmaster @ Granby Street school in Liverpool.

Leonard Rossiter (Rigsby) was a pupil.

[abi56131]

gotta love Basil Rathbone... He is the best!!

[brssgirl]

cheapskate studio made bomb sight the guy uses at about 22minutes is the same enlarger Holes uses at about 45:18.

[gitsumalready]

@brssgirl haha, yeah that's pretty funny. Good eye.

[marobasm]

Holmes didn't have phones did he ?

[c1605]

What a wonderful series.

[fallsor]

so does Sherlock Holmes travel through time to battle Nazis?

[Slartibartfass13]

@fallsor well, he was a young man in the 1880s, so it's possible that he was still alive in the 30s... however, he DOES look awfully young for that

[ghostfanX2]

@fallsor

No - they just updated him to the wartime 40's -- Exactly the way BBC/Steve Moffat has for the new Sherlock Series with Benedict Cumberlach (sorry if I mis-spelled that!).

[legion1a]

Of all the different Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watons combinations Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are my favorites. I realize that Watson's character is not true to the books, but from my point of view he is the most entertaining. I love it when he mumbles! I also love to listen to the Old Time Radio shows with Rathbone and Bruce. Thanks for posting this! Big smile when I found it!

[SisterMaria]

The lestrade in these series of Basil Rathbone is my fave XD he makes me LOL SO HARD

[stuzaza]

the era shift is not ideal, to hear Sherlock quote Poe is a bit odd

[SisterMaria]

@stuzaza um.. not really poe was an early victorian writer and holmes is from the victorian era, late virctorian to be precise. Poe started crime novels but conan doyal made them into what they are today AWESOME

[TarasaRibas]

#FTW Zero Cost Movies . com #OMG - it's free here

[Seffyzero]

@TarasaRibas It's free on youtube too, dipshit.

[UnbreakableWestlife]

Good movie but I think Brett did a far better Holmes and made him come more alive. I find Rathbones Holmes kinda too uptight and Watson is way too goofy, he is nothing like the books, but that is just my opinon

[WerewolfJimSmith]

Good Olde.....

[Eriseldo]

cool

[bwbourn1]

I agree with Ruddgate. NIX the commercials.

[lolmann19]

wow 1:8:3 very long for yt

[wulliey121]

thanks for the upload great wee film

[cdishmo]

Basil Rathbone is my favorite sherlock Holmes

[masterambition]

wat year is this movie?

[JohanAtheist]

The place they retreat to after they escape from the doctors home is supposedly Baker Street? but isnt it in Switzerland? Baker Street is in england if im correct

[mythid12]

Basil Rathbone was simply one of the portrayals of Sherlock Holmes. No other actor has made Holmes seem so believable as Basil did. Thanks for posting this movie.

[fleadle34]

@mythid12 Jeremy Bret a close second ?

[Ruddgate]

Love it

[JulioMaduro]

i anjoyed the movie but the rebooting and comercals were stopping too much which took away from the enjoyment of the movie but anyway thanks hope there`s soom kind of improvments thanks again bye

[hourlynewscaster]

I guess I'm getting old, but despite the flaws in the many Rathbone/Bruce incarnations of Holmes, nothing beats these movies. The new Holmes is embarrassing.

[JiffySpook]

This film is an absolute classic.

[PeterPiper00]

@JiffySpook If it's an 'absolute' classic, why is it set in the 1940s in the WW II era, more than 60 years after the time when Holmes lived in London? And, Holmes with automobiles and telephones? Those definitely didn't exist in his time.

[PeterPiper00]

@JiffySpook If it's an absolute classic, why is it set in the 1940s in the WW II era, more than 60 years after the time when Holmes lived in London? And, Holmes with automobiles and telephones? Those definitely didn't exist in his time.

[JiffySpook]

@PeterPiper00 I have no problem getting past all of that, the entertainment value being what it is. Grain of salt, Peter.

[ghostfanX2]

@PeterPiper00

Because the studio wanted to save money. The first two movies WERE set in Victorian times, but the cost was too prohibitive for what is still considered a B picture. So they updated it. Besides, we needed Holmes's help to beat the Nazis. Really only the first three movies set in modern times were war effort movies. The fourth barely mentions it, and after that you never hear a word.

[JohanAtheist]

@CoyBeard74 Why would you watch it for free there when you can watch it for free here?

[timpal]

Holy Cow! I just googled around for some Rathbone, and I just watched this entire movie. Yes, I have all 14 reissues, and they are great, but Iäm stunned that there is some movie viewing here, in this sense.

[rod328]

this isnt a trailer, its the actual movie

[lillexy013]

is this in theatres?

[eiralinnea]

I think Watson was treated abysmally in these movies, he was not a demented fool and would never fall asleep during his watch.

[brashearbeer]

I agree. Basil was a great Sherlock but the portrayal of Dr Watson is these movies is horrible (no fault to Mr Bruce). That is one big reason I like the Jeremy Brett/Ed Hardwicke/David Burke combo of the Granada TV series from the 80/90s. Dr Watson wasn't made to be an idiot. I like Mr Hardwicke as Dr Watson.

[eiralinnea]

Hardwicke was really good, and the chemistry between Brett and him was splendid.

[JohanAtheist]

@brashearbeer I believe he was seen as a kind of comedic relief character, the clumsy nervous sidekick to the brave and strong adventurer even though Watson is much more than that seen in later movies^^

[anastaire33]

@brashearbeer Intresting. Have you heard any of the Basil Rathbone Nigel Bruce radio broadcasts that they did? They were amazing together in that. I personally like the Rathbone-Bruce Combo the best in what I have seen so far. I don't think Watson is made that stupid looking in here but he seems to be the perfect picture/portrayal of Watson. I like how he mumbles to himself! I'll look up Jeremy Brett and Ed Hardwicke, I'll see what they are like! Maybe they are better, who knows? ~Anastaire :D

[boldaserick]

bitch!!!!! robert downey jr is the shit as sherlock!

[HAZIDEAD]

Basil Rathbone is absolutely the best Sherlock Holmes. None of the others comes any close.

[Diqueverte]

@HAZIDEAD

Basil is great, one of the best. My favorite however is Jeremy Brett. Can't get enough of that guy.

[HAZIDEAD]

Diqueverte, funny: it was Brett I had in mind when I said Rathbone was greater.

Basil, despite his self assuredness and supreme intelligence, always remains approachable, decent, lovable cute kind of man "one of us".

Brett is stern, sad, and a bit of an English snob.

I've written an analyzation of all of Rathbone's characteristics; he was just the right mixture of ingredients in almost every respect.

Also Rathbone looks most similar to the pictures of Sherlock in Conan's books.

[alrayes14]

what about robert downey jr.?

[HAZIDEAD]

To cast Robert Downey Jr. shows a total lack of understanding and a complete disrespect of the Sherlock Holmes character. He has neither the looks, personality, attributes, acting ability, presence, command etc etc to play Holmes.

[alrayes14]

its not like there were a lot of options. and man, CHILL!

[ghostfanX2]

You've got that right! I did go to see it because I am a Holmes fan from way back, but i hated it. The writers were pandering to a 2010 audience. And no, it's not just that they changed SH canon - 12 of the 14 Rathbone Bruce movies were not adaptations from the books as Jeremy Brett's were. I just didn't like the new movie! Downey mumbled half the time - only one that was halfway good was Jude Law.

[HAZIDEAD]

ghostfan, absolutely right. The new Sherlock Holmes film is just a boiler plate run-of-the-mill action movie. It has none of the Sherlock Holmes flavour and ingredients...

[ghostfanX2]

Not a bit - I'm glad I am not the only one that thinks so! It' just galling that the average audience of today doesn't know how many GOOD SH actors there have been - I mean, geez, Larry Hagman did it better in his one try at it - and so did Michael Pennington. Not to mention the classic portrayals like Basil Rathbone, Jeremy Brett and Peter Cushing.

[SquirrelyLilBugger]

I am perfectly familiar with the different SH actors, yet I still found myself able to enjoy the new movie. Seems to me that people are just bashing it because it's different from what they're used to.

[ghostfanX2]

Hey! I really did try! I even spent full movie price because I was excited to see it, and was looking forward to Downey introducing SH to a whole new audience. But I just didn't like it. I think it was his accent, and or mumbling that got to me most... that and them rewriting canon.

[JohanAtheist]

@HAZIDEAD instead of focusing on the overall storyline they focused on making it a believeable Holmes story and a good action movie aswell, maybe starring Mr. Downey was not the best idea for holmes though.

[stephencolbertfanno1]

@HAZIDEAD I like Jeremy Brett a lot better.

[Gideon6640man]

@HAZIDEAD YUP.

[bobszvetics1]

@HAZIDEAD YOU ARE CORRECT AND ALL14 RATHBONE HOLMES FILMS ARE COMING ON BLU-RAY SOON

[JupiterIV]

@HAZIDEAD I beg to disagree.

Sir Jeremy Brett had a forty-eight page document filled with research on the Holmes character, and thanks to that, he was the universally acclaimed Holmes (written with no thanks to Wikipedia).

[HAZIDEAD]

@JupiterIV, it is my long held view that acting has a lot to do with personality and looks. So while Brett may have studied Holmes he is still Brett. Basil was a billion times more likable. Plus Nigel Bruce was certainly much more entertaining than that non-entity playing Dr. Watson.

[kaischarmer]

@HAZIDEAD William Gillette was the best, the ultimate and the only!

[HAZIDEAD]

@kaischarmer, that was 20,000 years ago.

[kaischarmer]

@HAZIDEAD Well almost

[ibtnm25]

She could spend all the money she wants with those perfect hips. She is so beautiful.

[negativecreep420]

Fuck these commercials. this movie is great though 5 stars

nigel bruce et basil rathbone en version original, géant et merci

[MjZroka]

i love holmes

[hyuuga0keyra]

how the video has one hour?

[canonicalbasis]

this series of shows made me fall in love with sherlock holmes all over again

[wb8594]

Nazi's came into power in 1933 so sherlock is like 80 years old in this movie. He still looks great. :)

[Nergaladdictchic]

He is so not 80 years old! He's fifty or something.

[eiralinnea]

M'dear, the original Sherlock Holmes took place between 1880s and early 1900s. Towards the end, he was 50ish. So indeed, during the Germany nazi reign 30 years later, he would be an old man. ;)

[nkklotus]

Brilliant! Good to see this one again!

[magiccasey61]

Granted the Brett versions were terrific, but the Rathbone movies are still fun.

[SeaBourneLegend]

Basil Rathbone was the best Sherlock Holmes!

[fouramhq]

No, no.  Jeremy Brett.

[anastaire33]

@SeaBourneLegend yes!!!!!! very true! I'm a great fan of Basil Rathbone. He was so talented!

[pAULSauce]

Cuando en latino? cinco estrellas, suerte.
