Which one to buy: Adventures of Robin Hood or Yankee Doodle Dandy?
Ok, I've got $20 bucks burning a hole in my pocket and I want to purchase one of these two.
I've seen both and loved each of them, but I guess it comes down to which one has the better extras...
Any opinions?
Thanks,

Robin Hood, unless you're a huuuge musical or Jimmy Cagney fan.
I assume you already have Treasure of the Sierra Madre? It's probably the best of the three.

as much as I love Robin Hood....get Cagney. Yankee is just another great way to see this talented guy do his stuff. and you dont need to love musicals to enjoy it. like others said...if you dont have TOTSM...get Bogart. if you have it already...get Doodle.

I have the set. I love all three but if I had to choose ... Robin Hood would be my first purchase if I had the funds for only one.
All three are packed with extras but only Robin Hood has Olivia De Havilland.

Thanks for all the input!
I'm not really as interested in "Treasure" as the other two, and I was leaning toward "Robin Hood" originally, so I guess that's what it'll be.
Hopefully, I can get the other two down the line.

Oh feh. Yankee Doodle Dandy is a FANTASTIC movie, and the DVD set is the bees knees.
OK, maybe I prefer Robin Hood, but still... gotta give Dandy its suppor here!
And I agree with the sentiment that Sierra Madre is the best film of the three... but Robin Hood is the most fun!
No matter how you look at it, any disc from the Warner Legends Collection is a winner.

Another vote for The Adventures of Robin Hood: Two-Disc Special Edition... and a suggestion that you consider putting the $20 towards the Warner Legends Collection box set (I got my copy from Overstock.com for around $45; I don't know what their current price is.)
