I am looking for a Robin Hood movie ?!
Question: I am looking for a Robin Hood movie !?
I am looking for a Robin Hood movie with some historical accuracy!. You know the typical story of Robin of Loxley Earl of Huntington going off to war in the Crusades with the King at the Holy Land who then returns to find his people starving and brutalized under the tyrannical rule of a new Sheriff aided by Guy of Gisborne who usurps Robin's lands and consigns him to life in the forest as an outlaw!. Something clearly similar to the version portrayed by the BBC TV series but not exactly the same!. Perhaps like Prince of Thieves but without a Sheriff trying to be too funny!. It doesn't matter how similar it is but somewhat similar!. I want an evil Sheriff (who isn't a coward like in Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) and not trying to be funny -- if he is funny like Keith Allen that's fine but not Prince of Thieves like funny) -- if someone could just recommend a good Robin Hood movie to me with Guy of Gisborne's character and the Sheriff of Nottingham that would be great!.
Any movie you can think of out on DVD that even comes close to having some sort of historical accuracy would be good!. If it isn't 100% historically accurate that's fine!. Even 95% accurate is fine!. Just as accurate as possible and of course in English!.

Robin Hood (1922)
Robin Hood, Douglas Fairbanks' biggest (though not necessarily best) production of the silent era, represents the first time that many familiar of the elements of the Robin Hood legend were presented on screen!. To bring the project to full fruition, Fairbanks and his wife Mary Pickford purchased the old Jesse Hampton studio in Santa Monica, and on that site constructed a near-lifesized replica of 12th century Nottingham!. The humongous castle set was so awesome that Fairbanks became worried that his own performance might be dwarfed!. It wasn't: take our word for it!. When first we meet Robin Hood, he is still the Earl of Huntington, preparing to joust with his bitter enemy Sir Guy ofGisbourne (Paul Dickey)!. Despite Sir Guy's propensity for cheating, the Earl is victorious!. Shortly thereafter, Huntington rides off to the crusades with Richard the Lionhearted (Wallace Beery)!. Upon learning that Prince John (Sam De Grasse), goaded on by Sir Guy, has usurped his brother Richard's throne, Huntington returns to Nottingham in a new guise: dashing righter-of-wrongs Robin Hood!. While robbing from the rich, giving to the poor, and bedevilling the villains, Robin romances the fetching Maid Marian (Enid Bennett)!. The film's singular highlight is Fairbanks' slide down a two-story tapestry, a bit of bravado accomplished by hiding a playground slide behind the huge cloth!. As in all of Fairbanks' films, Charlie Stevens, a grandson of Geronimo and Doug's "mascot", appears in several minor roles!. also appearing is Alan Hale Sr!. as Little John, a role he'd repeat in the 1938 Errol Flynn Robin Hood, not to mention the 1950 swashbuckler Rogues of Sherwood Forest!. Long thought lost, Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood (as the film was so copyrighted) was rediscovered in the early 1960s!. Most current prints fail to do justice to Arthur Edeson's glistening photography; also, some versions are stretch-framed to slow down the action to "normal" speed, a process that retards the marvelously fast pace instilled by star Fairbanks and director Allan Dwan!. We recommend that you seek out a good-quality, tinted print of Robin Hood, processed at the slightly faster-than-life speed at which it was originally filmed!. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Robin Hood
(1991)Initially conceived as a theatrical feature, but originally aired on television in the United States, Robin Hood puts slight, but effective, twists on the legendary tale!. Starring Patrick Bergin in the title role, the film follows Robin and his group of bandits as they fight Prince John and save Maid Marion (Uma Thurman)!. This version is a little grittier than both Errol Flynn's classic movie or the contemporary extravaganza starring Kevin Costner, since Bergin is quite down-to-earth and Thurman makes Marion into a brat, not a helpless maiden!. However, these qualities and the stately photography make the film quite entertaining, and it easily equalsCostner's version, even if it can't match Flynn's timeless movie!. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Movie Guide

Are you aware that Robin Hood was a myth!? So historical accuracy about someone who did not exist is a bit of a tall order!.
There was a version with Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn called Robin and Marion that I think treated the subject without too much humour!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I think you should see "Robin of Sherwood"!. I saw it a few years ago and thought it was really good and similar to what you are asking for!. Www@Enter-QA@Com
