I was disappointed in the original _Superman II_. How did you like this version?

But _Dark City_ is one of my all-time favorite sf dramas. What did **PM** think?

Cool! I should try that sometime. And have a look here: [2001: A Space Odyssey](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2001-a-space-odyssey/472997)

> Very interesting list. I tried to watch **Enola Holmes** around Thanksgiving but never could quite get into it. Maybe sometime else. Also, be sure to watch **The Seven Percent Solution** in your Holmes catchup, I rather enjoyed it, it’s a rather quirky look at Holmes, with a guest appearance by Sigmund Freud. Recommended.

_Enola Holmes_ was a meh to me, too, but I’d say _The Seven Percent Solution_ is pretty good (and although I think Robert Duvall is somewhat miscast as Watson, Nicol Williamson does very well as Holmes). Of course you should check out the excellent Jeremy Brett adaptations, too, at least one of which (_The Hound of the Baskervilles_) is feature-length: [The Hound of the Baskervilles (TV Movie 1988) - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095330/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3)

I’ve long meant to get around to _The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes_ and _Murder by Decree_, but never have. Anyone seen 'em? What say you, if so?
