No.1. The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)
“Almost 80 years after he first leaped across screens, Errol Flynn is still the definitive Robin Hood, despite countless new retellings. All later adaptations seem to rip off Michael Curtiz and William Keighley’s iconic Golden Age swashbuckler in one way or another — and rightly so.

There was never any question which Robin Hood would take the top spot: The Adventures was always in like…well, Flynn.”
