I'm not sure that Rathbone will go down in history as the best of the Holmes characters (and even less convinced of Bruce as Dr. Watson) but these are by far the best and most fun of the Sherlock Holmes movies.
I like that Rathbone and Bruce had a rather tongue in cheek quality to their work: reading the original stories gives a sense that Holmes enjoyed a bit of whimsy that the more dark and serious movies miss.
With a presence, appearance and inimitable diction, Basil Rathbone is unsurpassed as an exponent of Sherlock Holmes in film.
