Delon?
Banderas?

I like Ty.

I grew up with the little-known Duncan Regehr version:

That said, I think Banderas gets points for doing his own Zorro, and being free to reinvent the character.

EDIT to add: I see it's an early 90's series. I never saw it.

I have not seen either of the Banderas films, but I fondly remember Guy Williams from the Disney series, and have seen at least parts of the Fairbanks version, but I don't recall Tyrone Power. I'm just glad you didn't include George Hamilton as a choice in the poll.

Aw Dang. I was going to include Hamilton I must be the one of the few to say that "Zorro, the Gay Blade" is probably one of my favorite movies . . . ever.

"You don't smell of ship oil"
"Ship oil?"
"You mean to say you have never heard of the ships in field? The little, ah. . . bah, bah, bahs?"
"Oh! You mean SHEEP!"
"Yes. That is what I said."

Zoe: "Get it running again."
Mal: "Yeah"
Zoe: "So not running now"
Mal: "Not so much"

They are the Batman/James Bondesque Zorro movies.

I grew up on that, looking back now, they're a little lightweight IMO.

Very swashbuckle-y.

*Eyes bug out of head*
That was the best one, IMO!!! You MUST see it!

A travesty.

Yup, I loved that movie! It was so cheesy it was good!

I can't run no more
with that lawless crowd
while the killers in high places
say their prayers out loud.
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
a thundercloud
and they're going to hear from me.

Zorro, The Gay Blade is the only Zorro movie I've seen! So now, that character is who I think of when I think of Zorro.

I also liked Hamilton's Dracula in Love at First Bite.

I kind of like Frank Langella's version in the Mark of Zorro.

I'd forgotten about that one! Langella was great in the role, bit it WAS a TV movie, kinda small production, and I hated the mask they made him wear. But it also had Ricardo Montalban as the bad guy- that alone made it memorable.
