The Seven-per-cent Solution (Herbert Ross) [2] - Surprisingly entertaining film, with Nicol Williamson (who played Merlin in John Boorman's "Excalibur") playing Sherlock Holmes as a cured coke fiend. Part-parody, part-homage, it might have been a disaster, instead it stays entertaining and frothily on track until the 'surprise' ending, which is telegraphed a long way in advance.
