In this video, we will rank and explore Errol Flynn's 10 greatest movies. When someone is talking about the major stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood, Errol Flynn has to be included in that conversation because during the peak years of his run, he was easily one of the most recognizable names in the world, and someone who would have been considered quite an action hero for the time. That’s right, decades before the likes of The Fast and The Furious, there was Flynn playing the swashbuckling hero in movies such as Captain Blood and The Adventures of Robin Hood.
Of course, once World War Two broke out in 1939, Errol Flynn would find himself being even more needed as a form of entertainment and escapism for the masses. And this was what saw his wartime flicks like The Sea Hawk, Santa Fe Trail, Footsteps in the Dark, and Edge of Darkness become major hits for him too. But then even once the war was over he’d continue to be a major success almost every time he appeared on screen, with later movies like The Forsyte Women, Montana, and Rocky Mountain further solidifying his legacy.
All of this is to say then that, even if some notable controversies did threaten to derail his career at points, Errol Flynn remains a true icon of Hollywood’s Golden Age, and one of the first names many people will associate with the era. But then that’s only to be expected when you have the insane levels of screen presence he presented every time he was in front of a camera.

Born sixty years to the day before me, something I'm very proud of. He was a man definitely before his time
Bette Davis always looked down her nose at Flynn’s acting abilities. But many years later, she viewed “Elizabeth and Essex,” and said to Olivia DeHavilland, “God, he was good — I was so wrong about him!” Pity he wasn’t around to hear it.
Flynn did have the chance, on occasion, to prove himself in non-adventure roles: “Uncertain Glory,” “Cry Wolf,” “The Sun Also Rises,” and one of his best, “That Forsyte Woman.” He even displayed his song-and-dance talents in “Thank Your Lucky Stars.”
Hung from the trees like monkeys.
Mom made our lil group robin hood hats out of green felt.
Oh so much fun. Or when he played Custer.
But i think the one movie that hit all of us kids was Edge of Darkness black and white WW2 movie. No guy in the theater had dry eyes during that movie.
RIP SIR, we still love your movies.

Like Errol Flynn the film is seriously historically flawed but, as a movie, it is most entertaining primarily due to the performance of Flynn. He shows a dramatic flair mixed with light heartedness but also exhibits tremendous emotion filled interactions with his frequent co star Olivia de Havilland as this would be the last of their many movies together. This all culminates on their final departing good bye scene together that exudes with emotions of love, longing, tenderness and the foreboding expected doom. I personally think Flynn should have been nominated for an Oscar. All in all Errol Flynn was a legend of the screen in the golden age of cinema.
