Top Ten Errol Flynn Films

My personal favourites, though many will be obvious

1) Captain Blood – terrific as a kid, and it still holds up
2) The Adventures of Robin Hood – sure the Merrie Men overact, it’s still marvellous
3) Gentleman Jim – the closest on-screen depiction to the real life Errol?
4) The Adventures of Don Juan – the best of the drunken lecherous late-period Errols
5) Against All Flags – bit of a risky choice, but I love Maureen O’Hara and the film hits all the right notes
6) The Sea Hawk – Errol’s most subdued performance but best duel
7) The Dawn Patrol – excellent anti-war film
8) Edge of Darkness – Errol is perhaps miscast but this is an excellent war movie
9) Objective Burma – like Edge of Darkness
10) Dodge City – big colourful dopey fun
