A list of solid Flynn films. I would add to it _The Charge of the Light Brigade, Dodge City, Virginia City, Adventures of Don Juan,_ and the underrated _Rocky Mountain._
I think, despite all his personal human flaws, Errol Flynn was a seriously underrated actor. I can’t really argue with this list of his greatest movies but somewhere on that list should be The Charge of the Light Brigade. My personal favorite is They Died With Their Boots On. Like Errol Flynn the film is seriously historically flawed but, as a movie, it is most entertaining primarily due to the performance of Flynn. He shows a dramatic flair mixed with light heartedness but also exhibits tremendous emotion filled interactions with his frequent co star Olivia de Havilland as this would be the last of their many movies together. This all culminates on their final departing good bye scene together that exudes with emotions of love, longing, tenderness and the foreboding expected doom. I personally think Flynn should have been nominated for an Oscar. All in all Errol Flynn was a legend of the screen in the golden age of cinema.
My favourite 1. Robin Hood 2. The Sea hawk 3. Gentleman Jim 4. Captain Blood 5. The gharge of light bridage 6. They died with their boots on 7. Masters of Ballantrae 8. Adventures of Don Juan 9. Dodge City 10. Silver River 11. Virginia City 12. Objektive Burma
Errol Flynn remains, to this day, the finest Robin Hood of all time. (Sure beats Kevin Costner!) He deserved at least an Oscar nomination, for leading a film that represented the best of Hollywood. He was a thoroughly underrated actor, who might have been taken more seriously had he applied some moderation to his lifestyle. Of course, if drinking, smoking, and womanizing were disqualifying factors, then Bogart, Tracy, Gable, and Cooper shouldn’t have been Oscar contenders, either. Bette Davis always looked down her nose at Flynn’s acting abilities. But many years later, she viewed “Elizabeth and Essex,” and said to Olivia DeHavilland, “God, he was good - I was so wrong about him!” Pity he wasn’t around to hear it. Flynn did have the chance, on occasion, to prove himself in non-adventure roles: “Uncertain Glory,” “Cry Wolf,” “The Sun Also Rises,” and one of his best, “That Forsyte Woman.” He even displayed his song-and-dance talents in “Thank Your Lucky Stars.”
I think Errol was a very troubled man, who couldn’t give himself in any relationship with a woman. He slept with many women and also was married and had children. He was abusive to his wives and was unfaithful to them constantly. His children hardly got any attention and were witness to terrible drunken and drug induced aggressive behaviour. He was tormented by low self esteem and never was happy. He needed to self medicate himself with a lot of alcohol, later also heroine and cocaine. To call that a happy life is really absurd. He couldn’t live so he preferred to die young, as a hopeless alcoholic and drug addict. He was so talented in many ways but his mother had abused him so often and so deeply, that he was destroyed as a young boy.
Errol should have received an Oscar nomination for most of the movies on this list. Most notably, Robin Hood, Sea Hawk, Died with their Boots on and others. Errol Flynn : The Quest for an Oscar….Barnes & Noble is the must have book…
I love Captain Blood that film is awesome ! That was his second film (besides a short flick in Australia ) and he looked like a seasoned actor . Errol was a maniac in real life . He died in the arms of his 15yo bride in Canada .
I knew Robin Hood would be #1 my favorite movie ever!!! I was born 15 years after the death of Errol Flynn but he is my favorite actor of all time! I have a 5x7 photo of him next to my television most of his films that are on DVD, next time I'm in California I want to visit his resting place! Errol , every time I watch your movies, you win an Academy Award in my heart!
That's great. Funny in the 60's at Surrogates court in Manhattan his will was probated in NYC. I found it by accident researching ab estate for my father who was an Attorney. He was a most favorite actor and underrated at times. I especially have a soft spot for The Adventures of Don Juan".
Honorable mentions should go to "The Sisters", "Charge of The Light Brigade", & Errol's not great, but most solidly entertaining movies: "Dodge City", "Santa Fe Trail", "Adventures of Don Juan", "Desperate Journey", his last film with Warner Bros. "The Master of Ballantrae", "Kim", & finally his two late supporting roles in "The Sun Also Rises", & "Too Much, Too Soon".
@@vernpascal1531 Agreed, I'm surprised I missed those, the powerful "Edge of Darkness" was probably his only true ensemble effort where he blended in perfectly with the rest of the cast, not showcased as "the star", as was the norm.
@@dk60ish Good point. Flynn was a better actor than given credit for no question. I've hardly seen any of his films post Objective Burma. Hard to watch him after WW2, not the same guy. The sparkle in his eye was gone, and his raging Alcoholism and Drug Abuse took it's toll quickly.
Very solid list. If anything, I’d say bump off “They Died with their Boots On” to make room for “The Adventures of Don Juan”. Then again I always liked his swashbuckling films more than his westerns. I miss Errol Flynn. It’ll be a while before we see his like again.
The list is ruined by Elizabeth and Essex was not one of Errol Flynn's Great performances so this what that was a mistake The adventures of Robin Hood Dodge City they died with their boots on and gentleman Jim we're huge world wide hits internationally!
If Errol was granted another life time, I doubt he would live it any different. Adventurere and thrill seeker with a penchant for a pretty face. The 'one' you always have a sigh when you remember them.
Si Errol Flynn a incarné l'esprit d'aventure avec autant de dynamisme et de conviction, c'est qu'il était lui-même un aventurier. Les films qu'il a tournés avec Michael Curtis et Raoul Walsh sont à cet égard fascinants. Quand à sa vie, trépidante , imprévisible et scandaleuse, elle fut tout simplement fabuleuse.
The epitomy of "Live Hard, Die Fast Leave a good-looking corpse." Well 2 out of 3 ain't bad! When Flynn died at 50, he looked 75 years old! Drugs, booze and cigarettes destroyed his good looks. He also claimed to have bedded 12,000 women, too!
È un grandissimo attore con dei bei film ,ma il primo che ho visto e l' ho conosciuto la carica dei seicento ci manca dove e' bravissimo ❤i film e le attrici sono degne di lui ,ma lui è unico ❤❤❤❤
I love most of Flynn’s movies , he was good actor , incredibly charismatic and so handsome (imo,even compared to the majority of today’s male actors). Agree w/ others Doge City should be on this list.
Charge of Light Brigade: the story of how the director had the horses tripped: Flynn had problems with. I have my aunt's book, his autobiography, and i cant put it down.
I always thought "Objective Burma" was outstanding. I can not think of a film I would not watch and enjoy - yes that includes "Cuban Rebel Girls".........
Flynn was an underrated comedian. Check out "Never Say Goodbye". Absolutely one of his best films, but let's be honest...most of his films were excellent. This one is definitely in the top 15. Good list!
Yeah that was surprisingly good. saw it about ten years back. I just picked up The Errol Flynn Western Collection and watched Montana last night. Oh Brother! It was pretty bad. First of all it was obviously California on a Back ranch where it was filmed. It looked like they shot it around summer as everything was Dead Brown, and The Sheep would have nothing to eat but rocks and dirt. The only thing that was good about it was the cute song with Alexis Smith, and Errol shooting a gun out of a slimeball's hand.
FLYNNS GENIUS WAS, YOU ALWAYS LOOKED AT HIM ON SCREEN, HE HAD THAT PRESENCE THAT WILL NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN.
Yes , that is untill I'm on the silver screen ... LOL
Bruce Lee had that same Screen Presence..
I totally agree
My Boyhood Hero, there was simply no one like him.
No one could play Robin Hood better than Flynn and no one will ever.
ME TOO!!!!!
@@tss77 Absolutly right !

He was so good looking

"the Adventures of Don Juan" has to be top 5 - an older, self-effacing and fun Flynn. My fav along with Robin Hood.
My girlhood heartthrob hero,Errol was his own man, who walked through life as himself!! And was not afraid to LIVE!!!
Me,too!
Not afraid to die either. It's the same thing
I think Errol was a very troubled man, who couldn’t give himself in any relationship with a woman. He slept with many women and also was married and had children. He was abusive to his wives and was unfaithful to them constantly. His children hardly got any attention and were witness to terrible drunken and drug induced aggressive behaviour.

i had a childhood crush on errol flynn saw every movie that they showed on tv in my homestate🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂😍
My favourite movie star 🌟
Born sixty years to the day before me, something I'm very proud of. He was a man definitely before his time
Errol should have received an Oscar nomination for most of the movies on this list. Most notably, Robin Hood, Sea Hawk, Died with their Boots on and others. Errol Flynn : The Quest for an Oscar….Barnes & Noble is the must have book…
A fantastic man in all departments! 🤠👏❤️💃🎶
I love Captain Blood that film is awesome ! That was his second film (besides a short flick in Australia ) and he looked like a seasoned actor . Errol was a maniac in real life . He died in the arms of his 15yo bride in Canada .

If you're able to go to Glendale, also try and drive Mulholland.

Thanks for the great video.....great video. I agree on the films with maybe "The Adventures of Don Juan" as an honorable mention.
He was my childhood Hero, and I think you picked the right 10 movies
Honorable mentions should go to "The Sisters", "Charge of The Light Brigade", & Errol's not great, but most solidly entertaining movies: "Dodge City", "Santa Fe Trail", "Adventures of Don Juan", "Desperate Journey", his last film with Warner Bros.

Hey D.K. How about Desperate Journey, the true story of WW 2 where Errol, Ronald Reagan and Alan Hale save the world?
That's in the list.
Errol Flynn rocked.
Great actor Errol
Very solid list. If anything, I’d say bump off “They Died with their Boots On” to make room for “The Adventures of Don Juan”. Then again I always liked his swashbuckling films more than his westerns. I miss Errol Flynn. It’ll be a while before we see his like again.
Thanks!
theres plenty of Errol Flynns in Australia!

Charge of the Light Brigade should be on the list. I’d trade it for Prince and the Pauper. Edge of Darkness should be way higher up on the list.
"Charge of the Light Brigade", is my personal favorite!
''They Died with their boots on'' that's my fav.
Great Movies, real classics
So handsome❤
Great summary of my favourite❤️
The epitomy of "Live Hard, Die Fast Leave a good-looking corpse." Well 2 out of 3 ain't bad! When Flynn died at 50, he looked 75 years old! Drugs, booze and cigarettes destroyed his good looks. He also claimed to have bedded 12,000 women, too!
Yikes!
My hero in my younger days until now in my 80's. I love the movie ISTABUL. Where is it?
I have it on vhs, i have all his movies
@@tombankwel4822 I found it on Ytub.
My number 1 favorite--- Robin Hood-nick and #2-- Dodge City that curiously didn't make the list.
My dad always talked about "The Perfect Specimen, but they never show it. I believe it has to do with some legal problems.
Errol was a randy sod! Legendary swordsman, pun intended.
We need a Robin Hood in the good ole USA today !
Best boy hood hero
The Prince and The Pauper should be placed much higher up than it is.
i actually read captain blood and sea hawk loved both movies and i do have the adventures of robin hood🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂😊😊😊😊😊
y donde quedo la pelicula. LA CARGA DE LA BRIGADA LIGUERA
È un grandissimo attore con dei bei film ,ma il primo che ho visto e l' ho conosciuto la carica dei seicento ci manca dove e' bravissimo ❤i film e le attrici sono degne di lui ,ma lui è unico ❤❤❤❤
👍🏻
"Oh ERROL I would give everything just 2b like him"
My fav in youth, but I wud put "Charge", "Don Juan" and "Santa Fe" over "Edge" and "Dawn"....
I love most of Flynn’s movies , he was good actor , incredibly charismatic and so handsome (imo,even compared to the majority of today’s male actors). Agree w/ others Doge City should be on this list.
I agreed with 7 out of 10. Not too bad.
💙💙Very beautiful
I understand you stick to adventure movies, too bad for Four Is a Crowd and The Perfect Specimen !
Charge of Light Brigade: the story of how the director had the horses tripped: Flynn had problems with.
I have my aunt's book, his autobiography, and i cant put it down.
Like Sean Connery is to Bond
Errol is to Robin Hood 🎉🎉🎉
I always thought "Objective Burma" was outstanding. I can not think of a film I would not watch and enjoy - yes that includes "Cuban Rebel Girls".........
I would have moved "They died with their boots on" up higher on the list. It's a bigger production than the 3 war movies.
Flynn was an underrated comedian. Check out "Never Say Goodbye". Absolutely one of his best films, but let's be honest...most of his films were excellent. This one is definitely in the top 15. Good list!
Errol is my favavroit actor but you should have put dodge city in the list and edge of darkness is better than tenths place.
Edge of Darkness is one of his best.
Flynn
yes!
Plus I'm only 10
You forgot one! Tales of Don Juan Starring Vivca Landfords
Era muy atractivo y apuesto el actor
#1 should be Rocky Mountain.
Yeah that was surprisingly good. saw it about ten years back. I just picked up The Errol Flynn Western Collection and watched Montana last night. Oh Brother! It was pretty bad. First of all it was obviously California on a Back ranch where it was filmed. It looked like they shot it around summer as everything was Dead Brown, and The Sheep would have nothing to eat but rocks and dirt.

Did you know that Rocky Mountain was filmed in only 3 days?
Cry wolf.
Underrated
According to the celebrity ghost stories show ,Flynn's ghost killed rick nelson.
SEA HAWK should have been#2
👍💯%
What! no Dodge City.
He was a Tasmanian. 😂
Warren beatty.claims more than that.
