15, & 25

15 was a classic, but like CH said, tim curry stole 18 the same way alan rickman stole die hard.

and Rickman also stole Robin Hood.. we need an Alan Rickman poll!!!

we need an Alan Rickman poll!!!

Because it will hurt more?

Can't stand them as a movie, book, game or in anyway, shape or form…

15 is a classic. I also enjoy 10 as I have a thing about June Allyson.

Oh my. You missed my favourite.

"La fille de d'Artagnan"

hmm wikipedia missed it, fixed it..

Only films? Not television series with this one?
Missing out on classics such as D'Artagnan and the Three Muskerhounds…

well Captain Swing..you could start your own poll..

15!!!

By the way we have to paint our three musketeers and d' Artagnan, and obviously our Cardinal' s guards by Redoubt, and mademoiselles, if we don' t make a mistake…

Happy Wargaming to All.

15

15.The Three Musketeers (1973 film), and The Four Musketeers (film) (1974) a two-film adaptation starring Michael York, Oliver Reed, Frank Finlay, and Richard Chamberlain.

I've always enjoyed Oliver Reed's work as an actor, and he was kinda entertaining off the stage too.

Charlston Heston as Cardinal Richelieu was great.

This one below is one of the WORST movies I have ever seen. Right up (or down) there with "Cutthroath Island".

19.The Musketeer (2001), a very loose adaptation, in a style imitating Asian action movies

There was also The Man in the Iron Mask starring John Malkovich, Jeremy Irons, Gerard Depardieu and Gabriel Byrne as the now middle-aged Musketeers and Leonardo DiCaprio as both the King and his twin brother.

15. Mostly for Heston's Richelieu.

Definitely 15 followed by 18.

15 and 18.

Lets not forget to mention that none other than Flashman creator George McDonald Fraiser wrote the screenplay for 15. (kind of makes up for Octopussy)

As for 18, Oliver Platt and Tim Curry made that movie.

Milla Jovovich in 3D!!! Be still my beating heart! :P

Thank you.
15 and 27!

15 & 25.

15 and 18 great fun.

15 tried to follow the book closely and was quite good. 10 (w/ Gene Kelley) was my favorite. The fight in the cemetery is worth the price of admission.

15 and 25, 15 is perhaps the most faithful version of the book, fun, exciting and well acted. The new one looks like its going to be crap (IMHO).

My favorite one is not on the list…

1) Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers imdb.com/title/tt0371823
2) 19.The Musketeer (2001), a very loose adaptation, in a style imitating Asian action movies
3) 18.The Three Musketeers (1993 film), a Disney production starring Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt, and Tim Curry
I have not seen any others.

I remember seeing the 73 and 74 films in the theater, but it must have been during a revival in the 80's as I am sure my mom wouldn't have let me go see them at 10! I liked them, lots of swords and fun. Didn't like the 93 version as much.

being of a certain age, 15 for sure.

Though special mention for Dogtanian!

None of them have done the book justice, especially from the looks of the trailer, the new one which looks terrible.

15.. all of the others I have seen are drek… although I haven't seen many of the older ones on the list.

15. Scripts by George MacDonald Fraser.

15. The Three Musketeers (1973 film), and The Four Musketeers (film) (1974) a two-film adaptation starring Michael York, Oliver Reed, Frank Finlay, and Richard Chamberlain

This is absolutely the best made 3 Musketeers movie series (if you count the third own, 20 years after basically). The acting is excellent, the costuming and setting fantastic, the thoroughness of following the book is great, and the action and fight scenes well done -- plus it's very humorous and tongue in cheek.

My Redoubt figures (all based on the 1973 movies) have seen a lot of use.

Having said that, I also liked "19.The Musketeer (2001), a very loose adaptation, in a style imitating Asian action movies" for its great over-the-top Hong Kong style fight stunts.

15, the classic.

25, have read all the books twice.

Have seen some but not all of the others.

21, the upcoming 2011 film, just commenting: At my first glimpse of the preview I thought it looked really silly. Then after a couple more exposures I switched my thinking to silly but possibly fun. Now I realize we have Mila Jovovich and Orland Bloom as the villains (Milady and Buckingham respectively), and it's from the team that did the "Resident Evil" films. I'm kind of looking forward to it.

But it won't be a real version.

15 is the Alpha and Omega. The only reason I ever think about 19 is the scene where the Grey Musketeers form as a cavalry unit. Then they charge a CASTLE! Arrrgh!

The Four Musketeers – the one with Raquel Welch in it.

15. for Hestons' Richelieu " By my order and for the good of the State, the bearer has done what the bearer has done".

I used that line at work when a supervisor wouldn't act on a problem-got away with it too.

The two 70ies movies are unsurpassed so far.

3 musketeers/4 musketeers.
And I liked the musketeer too

didn't the Banana Splits have an animated version as well ?

being of a certain age, 15 for sure.

Though special mention for Dogtanian!

Ahhhh… Dogtanian

Is it too much to share that I found the cat really foxy?

10 is rather faithful
15 is a romp
18 Curry is great, Sheen and Platt are hilarious
25 is a must

I agree the "Man in the iron mask" as put forward by nsolomon99

15 and the latest incarnation of "The Man in the Iron Mask"

15

15. My all-time fave.

18. Anachronistic but fun.

27. Sophie Marceau. Topless. I don't remember the rest of the movie.
