Reviews, ruminations, ramblings, and reminisces about the movies. New for 2020 - The Year in Movies. Every few days I will post about a year in movie history and then post my favorite movie from that year.

10. The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)
Marian: Why, you speak treason!
Robin Hood: Fluently.
Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.... The story of Robin Hood is probably my favorite legend of all, and this movie does it the most justice. With nothing added and very little taken away, this is how you translate a beloved story to the screen. Errol Flynn cemented his place as the dapper, adventurous leading man of choice with this movie. Also, Michael Curtiz directed the movie and a few of his films will be appearing later in the blog (I know realize I need to see a lot more of his movies).

I saw part of this one but fell asleep during the movie.
