I've always vaguely known about Sherlock Holmes but I've never properly gotten into the series. There's so many books, television shows, radio dramas and miniseries'. My dad really liked some of the adaptations, especially the BBC 2010 one and recently saw the Netflix one with milly bobby brown. (I can't say it because it will get taken down). But he really enjoyed them.

I read The Famous Five growing up and someone once told me that Sherlock Holmes was basically a "adult" version of that, which made me even more curious because I loved mystery stories growing up.

So I was wondering, where should I actually start? Should I begin with the Arthur Conan Doyle stories, or is it better to start with the adaptations my dad watch or even the old 40s ones.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I've been on an old movie binge over the past few weeks, I just feel they bring a certain joy out of you that new movies don't. I have watched many over the past few weeks and I am running out of options, while I love many genres (noir, romance, drama are my faves), I am specifically fond of those whimsical, sort of mystical movies, like portrait of Jennie (love that film) and the sound of music (i know that's not obscure but that fits the vibe). I also saw it happened tomorrow and loved it. If anyones got some recommendations, I would love some more.
