This might come as a surprise to you but I totally agree with your thoughts and sentiments. Sherlock Holmes is indeed unparalleled in his legacy.
But my friend, this is a film franchise tournament, and for all money, not many Sherlock Holmes films have come close to creating and maintaining the film legacy that the original Exorcist film did.
I have not seen many Rathbone/Bruce films, although I did see the Lee/Cushing adaptation of Hound of the Baskervilles, and my judgements were based on the films of Sherlock Holmes only, considering the voting in this tournament.
If most of the films of the marvellous detective would have been huge, I am sure the Exorcist franchise would have lost that match to a huge shutout.
That being said, my vote in this one is for the Jay & Silent Bob films.
