The Three Musketeers

The '90s Disney version, bar none.
Tim Curry, Rebecca Du Morney, Chris O'Donnell, Charlie Sheen, Oliver Platt,
and Keifer Sutherland.

It takes a lot of liberties with the text, but dangit, it's so much FUN.
It's fast-paced, high adventure, with plenty of sword fights
and action sequences, some nice humor, and the cast all seems to be having a
lot of fun doing it.  They really click.

So that always gets my vote for best version of the Three Musketeers.

I figure this is as good a place as any to ask this, friends.

What is, in the list's opinion, the best rendition of the Musketeers'
tale on film?  Also, what's the best translation of Dumas?
