ANOTHER MOVIE FOR YOUR BUCKET LIST: THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (1938) & A GREAT FAMILY FILM TOO

Continuing our series, ANOTHER ONE FOR YOUR MOVIE BUCKET LIST....we were reminded that on this date in 1938 "The Adventures of Robin Hood", directed by Michael Curtiz and William Keighley, and starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland premiered. A great family film.

Flynn was never more handsome, de Havilland never prettier, and Rathbone never more menacing.  The storyline depicts the legendary Saxon knight Robin Hood who, in King Richard the Lionheart's absence in the Holy Land during the Crusades, fights back as the outlaw leader of a rebel guerrilla band against Prince John and the Norman lords oppressing the Saxon commoners.  In 1995, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation by the National Film Registry.  YOU CAN SEE THE TRAILER ON YOUTUBE HERE.  FIND IT AT WALMART HERE.   SEE MORE FILMS FOR YOUR BUCKET LIST BY CLICKING HERE.
