The Mark of Zorro (1940)

A character than has been portrayed in over 60 films or television series now, how on earth do you single out the best? How about the one nominated for an Oscar, in the National Film Registry, and starring Tyrone Power. A classic film, in color, that focuses on the story and characters instead of the action and sex. not something you find with many good action films.

I really don't think I need to go into the story of Zorro, and I think this one does a great job of not diverging from a classic storyline. So how about some random trivia instead! Once again the Zorro star isn't actually Hispanic, and most leading Zorro actors have not been, which might be why so many people like the Antonio Banderas version. This was the movie that Bruce Wayne's parents saw the night they were murdered in the Batman comics.

Anyways, probably the best Zorro film ever, you need to see this one.

Vote: 9/10
