Robin Hood has seen many iterations over the course of cinema. Some films are faithful adaptations, while others don't capture the spirit of Robin.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Robin Hood and his legends are responsible for teaching generations of children, and adults, what it means to be a hero, and it's no wonder Hollywood can't stop using the character in movies. While any public domain intellectual property is attractive on its own, the movie industry seems to enjoy bringing Robin Hood to the screen.
9 The Prince Of Thieves Columbia Pictures, 1948 The Prince Of Thieves may not have the effect, color grading, or budget that some of the other films on the list can boast, but this 1948 adaptation has an interesting take on the classic tale. Foregoing some of the most synonymous plot points like the archery competition, Robin meeting Little John, and revolving around the rescue of a young woman betrothed against her will.
While there is plenty of room for challenge and interpretation in Robin's story, it is questionable whether it was the right vehicle for an allegory about growing up and becoming disillusioned. Robin And Marian doesn't go overboard with scale and action sequences, but it does show a harsh and unforgiving world, with few bright spots.
4 Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Warner Bros., 1991 The controversy of Kevin Costner's attempt at a British accent aside, the 1991 classic still holds up when compared to some of the less successful adaptations. Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham is one of his greatest performances and provides a villain the audience can't help loving to hate.
