Sherlock Holmes Series

 There are 14 Sherlock Holmes films made ranging from the late 1930's though the mid 40's. Theses films are detective stories with Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. The duo solve mysteries together with suspense and trickery though out the films. Holmes is very observant and can often catch a person telling a lie just by looking at his clothes. Dr. Watson is a bit gullible and  slow in comparison.

The first film produced was The Hound of Baskervilles (1939) which is  a story about a man who was an heir to a family estate that was being threatened by a "family curse"; then Sherlock Holmes investigates the problem.Sounds spooky right? These films are in black and white which I actually think adds to the films because of the mysteries in the plot. Holmes is very smart and catches just about everything, and I'm often left wondering how he knew so much. You might have to watch the movies more then once just to get it all, but they are entertaining and creative.

If you enjoy mysteries and detective stories, then these are perfect. With 14 films, surely you haven't seen them all. Directed by Sidney Lanfield who was nominated for an Emmy in 1964 and won Star on the Walk of Fame in 1960. Below is a list of all the movies if your interested or want to watch one for Halloween.
