I'm so glad I asked about this now. I have both films on blu-ray and I'm (lovingly) forcing my partner to watch them with me.

omg ENJOY, the second especially is just......suffice to say I had to pause it several times to take a lap around the house to process what I'd just seen

I'll report back, and try to guess at least one of the moments that made you lose it! Don't think I've seen either since the second one in cinemas as a kid...

Immediately forwarding this to my people who've been reading the Letters from Watson substack (more or less) as it's been going. They quoted the Thor Bridge part to me like, two days ago.

I read the complete Sherlock Holmes at the age of ten in 1992. My very first work of fan fiction (something I didn't even know the term for) was to make them kiss. 🥰. Great job.

LOVE. There’s a whole rabbit hole of Holmes and watson related retellings to fall down too if you’re interested - lots of good stuff in there, but, like you, I love the originals and was struck by how much Guy Ritchie captured their essence in those blockbustery movies.
