It only had 4 stories on it, a couple of old movie trailers, and an interview with Sir Arther Conan Doyle. Must have watched it at least 10 times, so I've gotten my money's worth. I'd have watched it many times more if only I had more control over the TV at home. :(

I also noticed Roku has been popping up more Sherlock movies lately... even the ol' Basil and Nigel flicks... FYI.

Anyway, there's just something about smoking a pipe and watching the ol' Sherlock movies. I'd love to design a man-cave with one wall recreating his fireplace mantel... with all the interesting little bottles and what not. ;)
vey neat, double like!

sometimes the electronics can get the best of ya... :x LOL

i'm gonna just go to Youtube, see what i can fnd

I enjoy the old Sherlock flicks but the new ones are a good time with a home theater ;)

I love old movies, and realized that I'd never seen this one. I found it on Youtube, downloaded it and watched it on my TV with some trickery. Good stuff!

You can watch the whole movie on youtube:

I've got the complete Basil Rathbone collection of Holmes movies on dvd, it's pretty awesome! Worth checking out if you haven't seen them.

I'll have to check when I get home, I don't remember off hand. Errr... hold on, I'm on the internet and that's what google is for! :facepalm: There are 14 if the interwebs are correct.
