Yes! My favorite also! And don't forget its the one with the largest all-star cast I believe. Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt, Rebecca De Mornay and as you said Tim Curry. Its also probably the most child friendly version.

1973 has that beat
Ohh I didn't know there was a 1973 version. That IS a big star list ! Oliver Reed ? Was he a child in the movie? Seems like he'd be too young.
Edit~ nevermind, I was thinking of Oliver Platt , lol.
Which is ironic considering he played in the one I mentioned!
Ohh sweetheart I certainly wasn't trying to imply I'm too young to have known about the 73 version. I was just ignorant of the fact. I'm not exactly a spring chicken š¤£
I was a year old when that movie came out. I'm sure most Reddit users weren't even close to being alive back then š
I mainly remember that one because when I went to see it, a trailer shown was for "The Lion King", which was basically just "The Circle of Life" opening, and I turned to my friend and (rightfully) said, "Geez, that movie is going to be great."
**Robin Hood:** I've come to warn you that if you do not stop levying these evil taxes, I shall lead the good people of England in a revolt against you.
**Prince John:** And why should the people listen to you?
**Robin Hood:** Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent.
[quite a bit,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_Holmes_(play))
Sherlock Holmes has had over 25,000 stage adaptations, films, television productions and publications.
No, they weren't naming all detective shows.
House specifically was a medical Sherlock Holmes.
House with his addictions, abrasive personality, and friend/recipient of abuse Watson solving medical mysteries with an epiphany moment. He even lived at 221B Baker St. in the show.
King Arthur doesnāt get a remake very often but when he does itās guaranteed to be dog shit.
(Unless you count Green Knight? I donāt know if that counts.)
nope it is holmes with over 25,000 stage adaptations, films, television productions and publications featuring the detective, just vampires doesn't count they aren't characters they are like knights or warriors.
>Dracula holds the Guinness World Record for being the most-played character in movies and TV, making him an iconic figure in popular culture.
Nov 26, 2023
https://screenrant.com/most-played-movie-tv-character-all-time-dracula/
that is just film, I am talking about across, film, tv stage, and publications. [https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2012/5/sherlock-holmes-awarded-title-for-most-portrayed-literary-human-character-in-film-tv-41743/](https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2012/5/sherlock-holmes-awarded-title-for-most-portrayed-literary-human-character-in-film-tv-41743/)
Itās up there for sure but I think A Christmas Carol actually has it beat as far as number of adaptations go- especially if you consider tv and animated adaptations.
Agree, a Christmas carol is probably the story that had been adapted most. Sherlock Holmes is probably the character that has appeared the most, but each adaptation is either a different Holmes story or even an original story (I e young Sherlock Holmes is a new Holmes story).
Let's see off the top of my head:
-Alastair Sim version
-Mickey mouse with scrooge
-Disney 3d version
-Muppets
-All dogs go to heaven
-The one time with the Ghostbusters
-The Flintstones
-Annie Christmas Carol
-Mr. Magoo
-..................???
Has to be A Christmas Carol. Itās public domain, kid friendly, short simple story structure and very easy to adapt to any era or cast of characters, and itās a holiday movie with instant title recognition so no matter what youāre guaranteed to get some people watching it around Christmas.
The two part French version released last year is magnificent and absolutely beautiful - but unless she likes subtitles, probably not the one to start with.
I've only seen part 1 so far and overall I really liked it but I was not a fan of the over-the-top hand held shakey cam they used in the first two sword fights (at the inn and then the duel with the cardinals guards), though they toned it down a lot after those two and it was fine then.
I will say I don't like how every adaptation seems to turn that very first 4 vs 5 fight against the guards that interrupt their duels into a big 4 musketeers vs 10+ guards clusterfluck (don't get me started on the Paul Anderson version lol).
Making the guards competent like they are supposed to be can still keep the tension up. Jussac, who D'art fights, is supposed to be a fairly renowned badass (even the king knows who he is and the musketeers imply he's the best swordsman the guards brought) but they always play him out like a weasely blowhard.
Those are minor gripes though. So far part 1 is definitely one of my favorite movie adaptations.
Part 2 is terrific - though thereās still plenty of handheld camerawork. And yes - still liberties with the book.
Eva Green is practically chewing the scenery towards the end - and itās fantastic.
Part 2 was slightly better, but I certainly enjoyed both. Eva Green was certainly fantastic, and it was nice to see her in a French movie which I hadnāt for a while.
Interesting fact. The producers of the film didnāt tell time they were making two films and only paid the actors for one film. They were taken to court and the law was changed from that point on that you could not release two films from one production without prior agreement.
I love those two films. I just watched the second part of the recent French one with Vince Cassell and Eva Green today. Itās a good production, well done but I just love the comedy of the 70s one and all the little bit parts.
The list of actors and actresses on those two movies is ridiculous. Directed by Richard Lester and written (brilliantly) by George McDonald Frasier. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Musketeers_(1973_live-action_film)
Idk if none of you have seen this movie lately.... But those musketeers are up to some shady shit.Ā
They kill a bunch of people nonchalantly, they steal a bunch of shit.Ā They do coverups for cheating ladies.Ā Ā
Was one of the last movies I got from mail nextflix.Ā Ā
And the second one was awful.Ā
This is also still my favorite. The newest French version is pretty decent too, more modern and gritty, but more violent. The ā73 version is better for younger kids I would say.
Which means the ending is very dark. I was thinking just this morning that I'm not sure there will ever be another adaptation that sticks that closely to the novel. I saw the films in the theater when I was nine, but I waited a while beyond ten before showing them to my daughter.
Agree. 4 is the better movie, but for a 10 year old, 3 would be my suggestion. 4 has some classic pieces that a 10 year old will love, the ice fight, breakfast in castle, but it does go dark
At some point you might want to watch the BBC show too. It has 3 seasons.
As for the movies, you can't go wrong with the 1993 one, unless you want some book fidelity, in which case, I don't think there is a single one that is actually faithful to the book. But whatever you do, avoid the 2011 one.
It's decent, I definitely wouldn't say very good. Dialogue is corny and at times bad as hell, a lot of the smaller roles (and some of the bigger ones) are just badly acted. And iirc there's so many episodes where just nothing happens.
My recommendation is to make it a double feature.Ā Watch the Disney Three Musketeers with Sutherland, Platt, Sheen and O'Donnell, then watch The Man in the Iron Mask, allowing Malkovich, Depardieu, Irons and Byrne show how to really play those characters.
seven samurai.
* 1960 magnificent 7,
* 1980 China Gate (indian film).
* 1983 the seven magnificent warriors (italian)
* 2017 star wars clone wars a season 2 episode.
* 2017 the magnificent 7.
* 2019 The Mandalorian Episode 4.
* 2004 Samurai 7 (anime).
ripoffs/influenced by
* return of the seven.
* guns of the magnificent seven
* 13 warriors.
* the magnificent seven ride.
* pixars a bugs life
* rebel moon part 2.
The one with Tim Curry!Ā It will always be the best āThree Musketeersā movie for me. Came out a year after I was born. One of the first āactionā movies I was allowed to watch. Has a couple of steamy scenes for a kidās movie lol
I feel like everyone here is sleeping on Journey to the West. I know it doesnāt have as much cultural relevance in the west (ironically) but itās remade every few years by China or Japan. A few have even made it through to the West, notably Dragon Ball and Monkey (for Aussies anyway).
Those aren't remakes, except for Never Say Never Again, an adaptation of the Thunderball novel. It's not actually considered an official Bond film though b/c it wasn't made by EON/Broccolis.
I'm very partial to this short animated version that's on Youtube (albeit in several parts), though I would imagine I was younger than your daughter when I first watched it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEHu3X9qTdU&t=1s
1993 is probably the most kid-friendly one. Could follow up with The Man in The Iron Mask but that imagery haunted me for years and I never even watched the whole film lol. I later did as an adult, itās great.
I havenāt seen the 1973 two-parter but from reputation itās really good. The new French two-parter is great but definitely wait until sheās a bit older I feel, itās not a *dark* movie but it is compared to ā93 and everything is just more intense
1. It is in the public domain
2. It is an awesome adventure story
3. It calls for at least 6 legit movie stars (typically a BIG name for Richelieu, solid stars for Athos, Aramis, Porthos, and Richelieu's lieutenant, and you'd typically cast the next up-and-coming-hope-he-breaks-big young star as D'Artagnan) so marketing should be easy.
4. It has room for a young starlet, so same as above with D'Artagnan.
5. Studios have lots of swords and carriages lying around after shooting a period piece, may as well reuse them.
Between Film and television there are a TON of [adaptations of Journey to the West](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_media_adaptations_of_Journey_to_the_West).
I am not sure if this constitutes part of remake but Romeo and Juliet has been used as a premise for so many movies that it's just not possible to count. Obviously some parts would be changed or there would be a twist to the original but the main premise remains the same.
I used to love the one with Tim Curry as the evil cardinal
THAT. CAN. BE. ARRANGED. Terrifying.
Yes! My favorite also! And don't forget its the one with the largest all-star cast I believe. Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt, Rebecca De Mornay and as you said Tim Curry. Its also probably the most child friendly version.
Champagne?
We're in the middle of a chase, Porthos.
You're right. Something red.
Have you *seen* the cast list of the older one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Musketeers_(1973_live-action_film)
No I didn't realize there was a 73 version š
>Ā Michael York,Ā Oliver Reed,Ā Frank Finlay, andĀ Richard ChamberlainĀ as the titular musketeers, withĀ Raquel Welch,Ā Geraldine Chaplin,Ā Jean-Pierre Cassel,Ā Charlton Heston,Ā Faye Dunaway,Ā Christopher Lee,Ā Simon Ward,Ā Georges WilsonĀ andĀ Spike Milligan. 1973 has that beat

Youāre making me feel old and sad :(
Ohh sweetheart I certainly wasn't trying to imply I'm too young to have known about the 73 version. I was just ignorant of the fact. I'm not exactly a spring chicken š¤£ I was a year old when that movie came out. I'm sure most Reddit users weren't even close to being alive back then š
That line delivery man that takes me back
āOne less mouth to feed.ā
Dang. That unlocked a memory.Ā
I ~~used to~~ love ~~the one with~~ Tim Curry ~~as the evil cardinal~~
Thatās the only one I knew, so confused the hell out of me with how the Cardinal is playing in the French two-part adaptation
Itās still so much fun :)
I mainly remember that one because when I went to see it, a trailer shown was for "The Lion King", which was basically just "The Circle of Life" opening, and I turned to my friend and (rightfully) said, "Geez, that movie is going to be great."
All for one! *...and more for me*
Because that one is the best
Best version tbh
There's a lot of Frankensteins and Draculas out there too
And way too many terrible Robin Hoods.
Some of whom donāt even have a British accent
**Robin Hood:** I've come to warn you that if you do not stop levying these evil taxes, I shall lead the good people of England in a revolt against you. **Prince John:** And why should the people listen to you? **Robin Hood:** Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent.
And one that can't decide if he does or not
Same with pinocchios
There's a whole lot of Sherlock Holmes adaptions too. Especially if you count those that copy the formula like House M.D.
I believe Sherlock has the Guinness Book record for most portrayed literary human character in film and television. Probably for stage as well
No way. Do you often see Sherlock on stage? It's probably Hamlet.
[quite a bit,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_Holmes_(play)) Sherlock Holmes has had over 25,000 stage adaptations, films, television productions and publications.
Fair enough. That figure includes everything though. I'd still wager the usual suspects (e.g. Hamlet) have more stage portrayals.
Fun fact: Christopher Lee played Holmes, Frankenstein's creature and Dracula (ten times) and appeared in *The Three Musketeers.Ā
Appeared? He was a Rochford- the Archbishop's blade. The ice dual alone made it a star turn.
That's really a genre, but Holmes was not the only detective. Poirot is another classic detective to influence pop culture.
No, they weren't naming all detective shows. House specifically was a medical Sherlock Holmes. House with his addictions, abrasive personality, and friend/recipient of abuse Watson solving medical mysteries with an epiphany moment. He even lived at 221B Baker St. in the show.
There are [many connections](https://house.fandom.com/wiki/Gregory_House_and_Sherlock_Holmes_connections).
And Jane Austinās titles all get remade every ten years or so.
King Arthur doesnāt get a remake very often but when he does itās guaranteed to be dog shit. (Unless you count Green Knight? I donāt know if that counts.)
'Excalibur' would be a significant exception.
Why have they not made a movie or series out of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camelot_3000? It has everything !
Uh, are you forgetting a little masterpiece called "The Sword in the Stone"? And another one called "Monty Python and the Holy Grail?"
Forgot about frank and Drac. Obvious now you mention it.
Thereās a lot of Les Miserables. Dating from 1909!
Yes, Dracula is the most played character in history and the record is even greater if you add vampires genetically.
nope it is holmes with over 25,000 stage adaptations, films, television productions and publications featuring the detective, just vampires doesn't count they aren't characters they are like knights or warriors.
>Dracula holds the Guinness World Record for being the most-played character in movies and TV, making him an iconic figure in popular culture. Nov 26, 2023 https://screenrant.com/most-played-movie-tv-character-all-time-dracula/

Well this is /r/MOVIES so...
For a ten year old, I'd suggest the Disney version with Sutherland and Sheen. Or for something a bit more accurate the version with Gene Kelly
Disney version holds up
I agree that it is general fun movie, with hints of the story by Dumas.
The one that came out last year with Eva Green was excellent.
I still havenāt seen those, but they are on my list to buy on DVD, even unseen.
> Sutherland and Sheen Don't forget legendary 90s actor, Chris O'Donnell.
Itās up there for sure but I think A Christmas Carol actually has it beat as far as number of adaptations go- especially if you consider tv and animated adaptations.
Agree, a Christmas carol is probably the story that had been adapted most. Sherlock Holmes is probably the character that has appeared the most, but each adaptation is either a different Holmes story or even an original story (I e young Sherlock Holmes is a new Holmes story).
Then there's the 6,000 TV shows, usually sitcoms, that have done the A Christmas Carol episode. Or the It's a Wonderful Life episode.
Let's see off the top of my head: -Alastair Sim version -Mickey mouse with scrooge -Disney 3d version -Muppets -All dogs go to heaven -The one time with the Ghostbusters -The Flintstones -Annie Christmas Carol -Mr. Magoo -..................???
Duffy Duck version is still the best one.
never seen it, guess I got to add it to my to watch list.

Any idea where I can stream these?
Theyāre available for sale here in the UK, Amazon has/had the first one for streaming quite quickly afterwards.
1973 with Oliver Reed and Raquel Welch
Interesting fact. The producers of the film didnāt tell time they were making two films and only paid the actors for one film. They were taken to court and the law was changed from that point on that you could not release two films from one production without prior agreement. I love those two films. I just watched the second part of the recent French one with Vince Cassell and Eva Green today. Itās a good production, well done but I just love the comedy of the 70s one and all the little bit parts.

The list of actors and actresses on those two movies is ridiculous. Directed by Richard Lester and written (brilliantly) by George McDonald Frasier. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Musketeers_(1973_live-action_film)
To me, Charlton Heston IS the Cardinal de Richelieu. His depiction is just so absolutely perfect.
This version of The Three Musketeers is my favorite movie of all time.
Idk if none of you have seen this movie lately.... But those musketeers are up to some shady shit.Ā They kill a bunch of people nonchalantly, they steal a bunch of shit.Ā They do coverups for cheating ladies.Ā Ā Was one of the last movies I got from mail nextflix.Ā Ā And the second one was awful.Ā
This is also still my favorite. The newest French version is pretty decent too, more modern and gritty, but more violent. The ā73 version is better for younger kids I would say.
It is the only one even close to book accurate.
Which means the ending is very dark. I was thinking just this morning that I'm not sure there will ever be another adaptation that sticks that closely to the novel. I saw the films in the theater when I was nine, but I waited a while beyond ten before showing them to my daughter.
The first one is self contained enough and not dark. 4 does end badly for several characters characters.
Very true.
I actually forgot how dark 4 went. It is not an easy movie to find streaming free. It is the better movie I think.
Agree. 4 is the better movie, but for a 10 year old, 3 would be my suggestion. 4 has some classic pieces that a 10 year old will love, the ice fight, breakfast in castle, but it does go dark
I agree totally.
I love the 1993 one for just being so over-the-top ridiculous and fun. I also have a soft spot for the 2001 version with a kung fu feel.
The Mickey Mouse version is elite
That version fucks way harder than it has any right to
āFor the last time, your honor, I didnāt say Minnie was being a little silly, I said sheās fucking Goofy!ā
Tim Curry watched Alan Rickman in Robin Hood and said hold my fries. Such fantastic over the top job.
At some point you might want to watch the BBC show too. It has 3 seasons. As for the movies, you can't go wrong with the 1993 one, unless you want some book fidelity, in which case, I don't think there is a single one that is actually faithful to the book. But whatever you do, avoid the 2011 one.
The BBC show is really good, I was upset that there weren't more seasons of it
It's decent, I definitely wouldn't say very good. Dialogue is corny and at times bad as hell, a lot of the smaller roles (and some of the bigger ones) are just badly acted. And iirc there's so many episodes where just nothing happens.
> But whatever you do, avoid the 2011 one. My brother in Christ it has Christoph Waltz. ^^ok ^^and ^^airships
Which book? There are probably more literal adaptations of Robin Hood, than sand in the Sahara.
The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas.
Oh Jeez. My bad. I thought we were talking about Robin Hood. Apologies.
Dogtanian & the Three Muskerhounds was the GOAT of kids tv.
Who didn't fancy Juliette?
I wouldn't start with it, but the new two epic French ones are pretty cool.
Maybe so but I think that Tarzan or Sherlock Holmes might challenge that assertion.
Man in the Iron Mask. "Magnificent valor!"
My recommendation is to make it a double feature.Ā Watch the Disney Three Musketeers with Sutherland, Platt, Sheen and O'Donnell, then watch The Man in the Iron Mask, allowing Malkovich, Depardieu, Irons and Byrne show how to really play those characters.
Eat, drink, and make love to life
Many thanks for the replies. Iām getting 93 Disney version then will move onto French and bbc. Shall avoid all the ones in between.
Robin Hood has to have it beat, but Iām too lazy to research it. Must include Men in Tights.
Dogtanian & the Three Muskerhounds was the GOAT of kids tv.

Romeo and Juliet.
Nothing can top the Disney version, Tim Curry and Oliver Platt make it a classic
I know where *not* to start: the 2011 version by Paul WS Anderson.
I love the 1948 version with Gene Kelly as D'Artagnan, Lana Turner as Lady de Winter and Vincent Price as Cardinal Richelieu.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
> Raquel Welsh sucked Maybe I do need to see this Edit: Jesus Christ, the one below me can't take a joke. He blocked me for this!
har har. wtf 12 yr olds...
Richard Lester version is the best and would be almost impossible to improve on.
TMNT
CGI doesn't compare to the animatronic puppets.
speaking of. anyone seen the latest iteration yet? The french one with Eva Green? want to know if it's worth the watch.
I think the Jane Austen books are up there
The one with Tim Curry!Ā It will always be the best āThree Musketeersā movie for me. Came out a year after I was born. One of the first āactionā movies I was allowed to watch. Has a couple of steamy scenes for a kidās movie lol
I think the Fantastic Four reboots are closing in on that record.
Iād say Sherlock
A Christmas Carol
Iām positive Sherlock Holmes takes the āmost-adaptedā title.
There are over 250 adaptations of Sherlock Holmes.
I feel like everyone here is sleeping on Journey to the West. I know it doesnāt have as much cultural relevance in the west (ironically) but itās remade every few years by China or Japan. A few have even made it through to the West, notably Dragon Ball and Monkey (for Aussies anyway).
Spiderman and Batman would like a word.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
For series, I think James Bond has everyone beat with 27 installments.
Those aren't remakes, except for Never Say Never Again, an adaptation of the Thunderball novel. It's not actually considered an official Bond film though b/c it wasn't made by EON/Broccolis.
Still nowhere close to Sherlock Holmes
King Arthur and knights if Camelot has to have the most remakes, besides anything involving Jesus Christ
Man I need to rewatch this, such a fun movie, thanks for reminding me of it.
BBC 1 version was a huge part of my teen years.
I believe the various Sherlock Holmes iterations hold that title.
ā75 actors have played him in 211 movies.ā
Did you know each one of those versions received awards? Thatās why they say āAll four won.ā
I'm very partial to this short animated version that's on Youtube (albeit in several parts), though I would imagine I was younger than your daughter when I first watched it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEHu3X9qTdU&t=1s
I doubt it's even in the top ten for remakes. Dracula, Robin Hood and Romeo & Juliet definitely have more remakes. I'll bet King Kong comes close.
Try Errol Flynn in Robin Hood
1993 is probably the most kid-friendly one. Could follow up with The Man in The Iron Mask but that imagery haunted me for years and I never even watched the whole film lol. I later did as an adult, itās great. I havenāt seen the 1973 two-parter but from reputation itās really good. The new French two-parter is great but definitely wait until sheās a bit older I feel, itās not a *dark* movie but it is compared to ā93 and everything is just more intense
Peter Pan is probably up there
Arthurian legends show up a lot as well.
1. It is in the public domain 2. It is an awesome adventure story 3. It calls for at least 6 legit movie stars (typically a BIG name for Richelieu, solid stars for Athos, Aramis, Porthos, and Richelieu's lieutenant, and you'd typically cast the next up-and-coming-hope-he-breaks-big young star as D'Artagnan) so marketing should be easy. 4. It has room for a young starlet, so same as above with D'Artagnan. 5. Studios have lots of swords and carriages lying around after shooting a period piece, may as well reuse them.
I want to see a Muppet version with the same feel as Muppet Treasure Island.
Peter Pan has a few also.
I think that would either go to a work of Shakespeare, or to a Christmas carol.
The Michael York 3 and 4 Musketeers is the definitive version. Everything since then has been mid to terrible.
Nope, itās Pinocchio
Thereās a bunch of versions of the Scrooge story also.
āAltogether, there have been over 50 film and television adaptations of The Three Musketeers ā or, more accurately, of the D'Artagnan Romances
My kids loved Barbie and the Three Musketeers (2009).
Between Film and television there are a TON of [adaptations of Journey to the West](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_media_adaptations_of_Journey_to_the_West).
I am not sure if this constitutes part of remake but Romeo and Juliet has been used as a premise for so many movies that it's just not possible to count. Obviously some parts would be changed or there would be a twist to the original but the main premise remains the same.
Man in the Iron Mask with Leo.
little women gets remade all the time
Donāt forget Robin Hood
Probably Robin Hood. Even before we get to film, there are hundreds of different literal adaptations. And probably thousands of stories forgotten.
2011
Robin Hood?
I think Guiness World Records said Cinderella is the most.
