How do I read this? Most of these should be intuitive enough. Only two things to note: The rating is, as specified, personal, and therefore it isn't an objective opinion and doesn't intend to be. It's based purely on how much I enjoyed each adaptation! The notes are extracts from my own personal writings and as such they may not be that acurrate to how I feel about the series right now, or may be unpopular personal opinons - I only intend to archive all of these little notes and thoughts I had throughout each version.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson
1979 - 1986 31-08-2024 07-11-2024 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
  • My favorite one so far! Got me back into Sherlock, it's very charming, full of detail and overall super nice and fun to watch.
Sherlock Holmes
1984 - 1994 08-11-2024 07-12-2024 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
  • Definitive Sherlock Holmes by far
  • Jeremy Brett's interpretation of the character is amazing!!!
  • I didn't particularly like the specials but giving it anything below five stars is unfair
Sherlock Holmes
1954 - 1955 13-12-2024 23-12-2024 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
  • I really like Howard's young and energetic interpretation of the character!
  • Holmes and Watson's dynamic is very entertaining and fun to watch
  • Pretty good rendition of Watson's character! He's still kind of meant to be comedic and is a bit dumb at times, but manages to complement Holmes very well.
  • Ended up being one of my favorite adaptations so far. It's great!
Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson
1979 - 1980 09-01-2025 16-01-2025 (kind of) ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
  • I really liked Watson on this show... one of my favorite interpretations ever!
  • Holmes is a bit dull but I like him either way
  • Some of the cases are badly written :( Lots of plot holes and such
  • Character interactions are pretty fun!
Sherlock Holmes
1968 06-02-2025 11-03-2025 ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
  • So many episodes lost! D:
  • Peter Cushings interpretation of Holmes is excellent as always. The movie is leagues better but the very few episodes that are left are pretty fun to watch as well.
  • I really like the way the episodes are paced and shot, it looks and feels a lot like watching a play
  • Overall pretty enjoyable. I wish I got to see more of this Holmes )-:

The Hound of the Baskervilles
31 March 1939 7-12-2024 ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
  • Basil Rathbone is amazing!
  • I don't like Nigel Bruce's Watson :( He feels too dumbed down, which is fine, but he doesn't match my personal interpretation of the character
  • Takes lots of liberties story-wise that don't make much sense to me. It is essentially the same as the novel but with small insignificant changes?
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
1 September 1939 9-12-2024 ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
  • I uh… can't remember much. I liked it though.
Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror
18 September 1942 9-12-2024 ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
  • I was NOT expecting this much war propaganda. I understand the historical context so I should have expected it but it's a bit hard to watch nowadays.
  • The case is fine I guess
The Pearl of Death
22 September 1944 7-12-2024 ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
  • haha Sherlock messing up... love to see it
  • Pretty fun!
  • Watched way too soon on accident and was very confused at it being contemporaneous
The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes
29 October 1970 08-12-2024 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
  • That rating is completely subjective (so are all of my ratings but PARTICULARLY this one), it's not that good
  • The story kind of feels incomplete and well. There's no actual depiction of Sherlocks private life, just another case
  • I still fucking LOVED IT oh my god. Had the time of my life watching this at 2am
  • Very very fun and charming. Plus it's funny
Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Furtive Festivity
14 May 2018 09-11-2024 ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
  • Forgot I had watched this!
  • I enjoyed it a lot :)
  • CANON JOHNLOCK... very important
The Great Mouse Detective
2 July 1986 26-12-2024 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

My Dearly Beloved Detective
??-??-1986 18-01-2025 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
  • YEAAAHHAA DETECTIVE YURI
  • but seriously i LOVED this movie its very nice. im enamoured with these iterations of holmes and watson!!!
  • First Holmes/Watson kiss on screen
A Study in Terror
01-10-1965 24-01-2025 ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
  • Pretty good!
  • The story is a bit predictable, I think. Overall entertaning though!
  • Very good interpretations of both Holmes and Watson
  • Murder scenes are really bad though LMFAO
The Hound of the Baskervilles
4 May 1969 06-02-2025 ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
  • Loved Peter Cushing as Holmes!
  • I really like the interpretation of both Holmes and Watson
  • Overall very fun movie to watch. I had a very good time
Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking
26 Dec 2004 23-02-2025 ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
  • There's something about this Holmes that I don't like but I can't quite place it. The actor is very similar to Paget's original illustrations but. That's kind of it.
  • Watson on the other hand was pretty good. An active, intelligent and capaple iteration of the character.
  • It has one of the weirdest premises for a Sherlock Holmes case ever and I can't quite fathom how exactly they came up with this and somehow managed to execute it decently.
  • A pretty fun watch overall though
Sherlock: A Case of Evil
25 Oct 2002 23-02-2025 ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆
  • Well this was. hm
  • It's a movie alright. I was very mislead by the 4.1 Letterboxd rating. Who the hell rated this movie
  • Very boring very heterosexual Holmes. Cool reimaginings of Watson, Moriarty, Mycroft and Lestrade but the lead falls short which ends up making the movie unbearably boring at times
  • There's a threesome scene. Why am I watching Holmes have a threesome. Where did I go wrong in life
  • Don't trust Letterboxd average ratings. I learnt it the hard way
Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon
25 Dec 1942 24-02-2025 ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ N/A
Sherlock Holmes Faces Death
17 Sep 1943 25-02-2025 ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
  • This one actually feels like an ACD story!!!!!!!!
  • I was getting so tired of the WW2 movies. sorry. godbles
  • I actually enjoyed this one I can't believe it. I'm warming up to this Watson as well
The Spider Woman
10 Dec 1943 25-02-2025 ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
  • I REALLY enjoyed this one! The story is a pretty fun combination of a lot of the originals that works quite well.
  • The tension between Holmes and the culprit was fun to watch. Honestly the entire thing was very enjoyable - certainly my favorite Rathbone movie so far.
The Scarlet Claw
26 May 1944 26-02-2025 ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ N/A
Murder by Decree
1 Feb 1979 09-03-2025 ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
  • Ok wow I was pleasantly surprised by how much I ended up liking this movie
  • Its a much more complicated take on the Jack the Ripper case compared to A Study in Terror but I feel like this one was executed much better. Or at least I enjoyed its conclusion a lot more
  • Also I really like how emotional this Holmes is. Not to an excess but I like how human it makes him look. The dynamic between him and Watson is excellent as well. The movie has a bunch of little conversations and moments between the two that are very enjoyable
  • Overall I really enjoyed both the mystery and its solution... I like some tragedy from time to time LOL
The Hound of the Baskervilles
3 Nov 1983 12-03-2025 ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
  • I really like this Holmes! He's a bit more lighthearted and cheery than usual which is always a welcome change to see LOL
  • I have to admit that the very few changes to the original story confused me a bit but they're pretty small details which still make sense
  • I like this Stapleton. He was way closer to how I imagined him while reading the novel than other adaptations.
  • All of the sets of the movie are really good!
  • The ending scenes are SO cool. I loved Holmes' fight with the hound (the movie manages to make the dog terrifying without leaning too much in the supernatural aspect which usually makes it feel very out of place in a Sherlock Holmes story) and Stapleton's death scene was incredible.
The Woman in Green
15 Jun 1945 15-03-2025 ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
  • I did not care much for this movie but it was fun
Sherlock Holmes Baffled
21 May 1900 24-03-2025 ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
  • does this even count lfmaoo. its the first ever movie to feature sherlock holmes so im assuming it does
  • pretty clear that this has barely anything to do with holmes and is more of an effects demostration but still pretty fun
  • sherlock holmes was already being used as a selling point all the way back in 1900. isnt that crazy

Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments
30 Sep 2014 Playing N/A
  • The load times are a bit annoying. Might be my decade old PS3 though.
  • There's also like a 0.5seg input lag that's annoying the shit out of me but it's playable
  • I really like Sherlock's design! Also really like being able to change outfits
  • Some of the minigames are a bit pointless. Almost rage quit on the arm wrestling one
Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Mummy
15 May 2009 (on Nintendo DS) Finished ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
  • It's a game alright
  • I finished it in 2 hours. Short but fun, I guess? The story was a bit confusing to me at times and overall it's nothing more than an average DS point and click mystery game (I'd say below average, actually) but it was enjoyable nonetheless
Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of Osborne House
24 June 2010 Finished ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆
  • why am I doing this to myself again
  • your average nintendo ds puzzle game but it has sherlock holmes name on it i guess

27 August 2004 Finished ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆

  • This was really good!
  • Felt super in character for me. Loved how both characters are written
  • Genuinely had a really good time with it
  • The only thing I don't know how to feel about is Mycroft's character in this. It's a bit weird and I'm not sure if it was necessary for the story to progress
