Snerk! Yes!
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

Never even heard of it, but I like the plot line on the IMDB page: "A drunken Sherlock Holmes is really just a cover for the real detective - Dr Watson."
My favorite cinematic Holmeses:
Jeremy Brett
Basil Rathbone
Christopher Plummer (James Mason was an excellent Watson to his Holmes)
Nicol Williamson (a very close fourth)
And an honorary Gold Star to Bill Pullman as Darryl Zero.

I heart The Zero Effect muchly.

I can no longer read a Sherlock Holmes story without hearing Basil Rathbone's voice.
The stories are up here: [link]
Please do your best to try to break the links before we start reading so I can make sure everything works properly.

Deena, You are the BEST.
All the links look great in IE on my Mac. Thanks.

I clicked through them all, and they all worked. And look great. So wonderful of you to do.

Thanks, Jen. (It wasn't hard once I realized the extra stories Ginger wanted were short. Moment of panic before that moment, though.)

Richard Roxburgh as Holmes
Oooo!
Yay! With Ginger's proposed schedule I should just about be able to participate. I've read HotB several times, as well as TSB, but none of the others. And I've always felt like I should know more about Holmes than I do (a family friend has one of the largest Holmesiana collections in the world, and my family is from around Moriarity, NM, which has a big Holmes do every year).
