The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)

Even though some of the scenes are extended and over indulgent, meanwhile other scenes seem disconnected from a central plot line, the bulk of the film is largely enjoyable. It moves across with a fairly quick pace and even manages a bit of character development throughout the piece - something a tad rare back then, in my mind. 

The film hones in on the character of Robin Hood, who, throughout the film maintains unwavering amounts of enthusiasm for whatever task is at hand. Its his positive attitude and immense likeability which turns what could have been a forgettable film into something great.
