Which Zorror movies are worth watching?


There are just too many, and before I watch the two latest ones. I want to see a few of the old ones. So tell me, which of the old ones are worth seeing the most?

I post here because I have nothing better to do with my worthless life.

Yeah, but I wanted to know if I should see some of the old ones first, and if so, which ones?

"The Mark of Zorro" with Tyrone Power is mandatory. The story is the familiar one, but well done. It also has Basil Rathbone, one of my favorite actors.

Try going on amazon.com, they have loads of reviews on old or forgotten Zorro movies, unfortunatly I think most of them are really crummy, but u never know, you might find something good.

You wouldn't know any way for a Canadian to get ahold of the series, do you? I actually have downloaded some episodes, and have a tape of some I recorded off TV:

The Whole Monastario Storyline from Season 1 (Downloaded)
The Whole First half of the Eagle Storyline Minus Episodes 25 and 26 (Downloaded), with one or two random ones afterward (Tape)
The Whole of the Monterey Storyline, EXCEPT Amnesty for Zorro, which I've been looking for, for quite some time now(Tape)

I would prefer to have them in the Colorized Version, because it's how I first expierenced them, and how I've always watched the series afterward. I've never seen the B&W versions, and wouldn't choose them over Color, because they would seem older and blander in B&W to me. I think Disney made a good choice when they decided to Colorize Zorro.

Hey! Don't forget...

~ Zorro, The Gay Blade (1981) staring George Hamilton. It's a comedy, but well worth the watch. Highly recomended (?).

~Ivory Core~

I like "The Sign of Zorro" (i think that's the name) which is basically some of the episodes from Walt Disney's "Zorro" series with Guy Williams. It's fun and a family film. Also, "Mask of Zorro" (1998) is the best to come around in a while (have not seen Legend of Zorro yet).

In 1974 there is The Mark Of Zorro from 1974 which was a made for Tv movie
this is a remake of the 1940 movie with one differnce.

In the 1940 movie we zorro unmasked and everone knows who he is and in the 74 onr he is still masked

Then there is the 1975 one with Alain Delon yes it not the best still it is fun to watch

Here's some advice, stay away from the newest one...its pretty awful

"I ain't got time to bleed"

You HAVE to see "The Mark of Zorro" with Tyrone Power. It's the best.
If you can, try to get a hold of the Zorro TV series from the 50s with Guy Williams, he was probably the best Zorro. I know it's on YouTube; some guy with the screen name "CorporalReyes" has posted nearly all of them. ^_^

Good advice,Mebes

Mark of Zorro starring Tyrone Power, and the Disney Zorro starring Guy Williams are of the best. I like Zorro (1975) starring Alain Delon also, but its horribly cheesy :)

Delon's version not so cheesy but quirky-Baker is a great villain !

...and the song by Onions is hilarious and catchy.
