Ooh, that's a tough one. I guess I'd have to go with The Adventures of Robin Hood, but I love all of those films. Quite a few more that I really like too.
We're No Angels
The Charge of the Light Brigade
Dodge City
Four Daughters
The Kennel Murder Case
Kid Galahad
The Comancheros

Curtiz and Errol Flynn did a dozen films together, a fair number of which I consider personal all-time favorites, so my vote will have to go to one of the Flynn films.
Though I'm tempted to vote for "The Sea Hawk" because I hate seeing that "0" besides it in the votes column, looking at it objectively I'd have to go with "Adventures of Robin Hood" once again.
And as already mentioned, I'm a fan too of "The Comancheros" starring John Wayne. I think it has a very high replay value (fun factor) - along with the "The Sons of Katie Elder" and "Big Jake" - when compared to some of Wayne's more critically acclaimed films.
Might as well mention "The Egyptian" as well in hopes of a coming DVD release.
Nice idea for the poll smirnoffski!

I'm probably biased, because I got to see The Adventures of Robin Hood on a huge screen in Technicolor, but I'm going with that.
I would also submit Mildred Pierce as one of the worst stories ever put on film.

I think the idea was that everybody would automatically pick Casablanca as the best, making the poll pointless. I would have liked to have seen it in the poll just to see the results - I still think Robin Hood would have won.
Personally, I think Robin Hood, Casablanca, Captain Blood, Angels with Dirty Faces, The Sea Hawk, The Sea Wolf, and Yankee Doodle Dandy are all about on the same level of greatness - which makes it real hard to vote.

Adventures of Robin Hood is certainly amazing, but I'll put in another vote for The Comancheros. Man, that's just a Cinemascope/John Wayne/Elmer Bernstein treat----a GREAT looking, totally enjoyable western, made during the peak of the genre, IMO.
