I got into the Jeremy Brett tv show on YouTube a few months ago.

The classic Holmes.

I think Rathbone's 2nd outing as Holmes, "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" (1939) is probably the best. Very entertaining. The first two films were "A" budget films from 20th Century Fox.
The later series films started at Universal in 1942, set in contemporary times. I think most people rank "The Scarlet Claw" (1944) highest, as it has a rather memorably horror-tinged feel to it. But it's not my favorite. I think I recall preferring "Sherlock Holmes Faces Death" (1943) and/or "The House of Fear" (1944).

I've loved many versions of Holmes, but Rathbone will always be Holmes to me. Same with Errol Flynn as Robin Hood.
He brought a tiny slice of that sinister coldness from his villain roles into Holmes and it worked perfectly.

Jeremy Brett is Sherlock for me. He is the only one that nails Sherlock’s quirks and intelligence just like if you were reading it from the book.
It’s kind of sad to see him put on weight and look sick there at the end of the series but he devoted his career to Sherlock. He actually turned down the role of Bond.

I basically have the same sentiments. Technically speaking The Scarlet Claw is the only one that probably surpasses "B-movie" status, but my particular favorite is The Woman in Green. It has a clever plot with hypnosis and blackmail, and I loved Henry Daniell as Moriarty. I think I read that it was Rathbone's favorite as well.

Sherlock Holmes Faces Death
Halliwell Hobbes was brilliant as the butler in that film.
I adore the series and I own the whole set.

The other nice thing about the Rathbone 'Sherlock Holmes' films is that they are all rather consistently good. They never really went downhill. For example, like the "Charlie Chan" series, which is great at first, with all the Warner Oland entries, and many of the first Sidney Toler ones, but eventually devolves down to a much more cheesily-produced series of Monogram b-films.
