While I pretty much love them all, My favs are the three Moriartys...Aka. ADVENTURES OF S.H., with George Zucco, THE SECRET WEAPON, with Lionel Atwill, and THE WOMAN IN GREEN, with Henry Daniell.Each performance was beautiful, and worthy of being the "only" Moriarty...but instead of one...we were gifted with three.my other favs are S.H. faces Death, because it has every British eccentric in Hollywood in it. Gavin Muir, Frederic Worlock, Arther Margetson, Gerald Hamer, Vernon Downing, a very young Peter Lawford..and my beloved Halliwell Hobbes as the drunken butler. The only one missing is Skelton Knaggs!
The other is SCARLET CLAW, because it has Paul Cavanaugh, Gerald Hamer and Miles Mander. All these glorious Brits, to whom I was introduced by watching these films.
(No, I'm not forgetting Evie,Gale Sondergaard, Hillary Brooke and Rondo Hatton...you asked for my favourites...lol)

I already have all the Rathbone Holmes films on DVD, but it's always good to see the films show up on TV.

I like them all, even the films the critics consider the weakest of the series, are highly enjoyable.

This how I rank them:
Scarlet Claw
Pearl of Death
Secret Weapon
Woman in Green
The Spider Woman
Faces Death
Voice of Terror
In Washington
House of Fear
Terror by Night
Pursuit to Algiers
Dressed to Kill
*Hound of the Baskervilles
*Adv of S Holmes

*I know these two Holmes films from 20th Fox were rated high by the film critics, and I do enjoy them, especially with Lionel Atwill and George Zucco being in the cast. But the downside for me is that I never cared much for films set in Victorian England.
