Rockin' Robin

I am a big Mel Brooks fan and although most of these jokes will go over the heads of your average kid, the silliness won't!  I have a massive old school crush on the lead so may be biased but this remains a classic in our house.

Check out...

Robin Hood: Men In Tights

And if you struggle with some of the references, check out...

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

While I can't stand Kev-Cost I maintain that Alan Rickman is still one of the greatest villains of all time!  Plus this flick also has my fave Bryan Adams track and teenage crush!
