    Hi Chester


    Funny you watched Reap the Wild Wind again recently. I was really impressed with film.


    In regard to Michael Caine I was admit he has appeared in some crap. My wife hates the sight of him but he does turn up in some good movies.


    Zulu Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Icpress Files Get Carter The Man would would be King


    Everyone has different tastes as they say

    I think Jeremy Brett is the accepted TV Sherlock Holmes interpretation.


    I always like the Basil Rathbone films series but it has been yonks since I saw any of them.


    The Hammer version of Hounds of the Baskerville was interesting but I was never fussed on Peter Cushing much preferred Christopher Lee who I think played Sherlock Holmes later in his career as well as featuring in the Billy Wider movie.
