Gentleman JimGentleman Jim
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $13.36
Based on the life and career of one of the most talented(and earliest)of heavyweight boxing champions, James Corbett. Regarded by many, not just me, as Flynn's best movie.

A tad under the radar in the pantheon of Flynn films, but one of my favorites.
The Charge of the Light BrigadeThe Charge of the Light Brigade
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $7.76
Based upon the epic poem. Impressive battle scenes, especially in its day. Well directed by Michael Curtiz.
They Died with Their Boots OnThey Died with Their Boots On
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $3.48
Flynn plays General George Armstrong Custer! The last of 8 pairings with Olivia De Havilland, on whom Errol had a big crush, but was constantly rejected.

The film which made Flynn a swashbuckling star, followed by other such films.

Queen Elizabeth I's relationship with the Earl of Essex(Flynn).
The Sun Also RisesThe Sun Also Rises
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $13.84
A film from Flynn's latter years, though he didn't really have many latter years. He pretty much drank and partied himself to death. A filming of the Hemingway novel.
The Sea HawkThe Sea Hawk

Another popular swashbuckler.
Dive BomberDive Bomber
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $6.45
Another pretty good war/air force film.

Buy used from: $16.45
Another good war film.
Dodge CityDodge City
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $2.99
A western, better than average, largely because of the director Michael Curtiz(Casablanca, Charge of the Light Brigade)and of course Flynn's star appeal.

Ditto.
Edge of Darkness [VHS]Edge of Darkness [VHS]

Interesting story about the Norwegian resistance to Nazi Germany.
The Master of BallantraeThe Master of Ballantrae
Buy used from: $48.88
This and the two below are swashbucklers with Flynn approaching over-the-hill territory, but all 3 films were still well-received.
The Warriors [VHS]The Warriors [VHS]

Buy used from: $4.58
The rest of Flynn's later westerns were just so-so, no longer directed by Flynn's most frequent skilled directors: Raoul Walsh and Michael Curtis. They are mostly just interesting because of Flynn.
