George MacDonald Fraser Dies

George MacDonald Fraser, the author of the Flashman novels and screenwriter for the York/Reed/Heston/Dunaway/Lee Three and Four Musketeers, has passed away at the age of 82.

What's your favorite swashbuckling book or movie? Fraser's own proclivities notwithstanding, historical accuracy is optional here. Those two movies mentioned above, along with The Mark of Zorro (Power/Rathbone) and The Mask of Zorro (Hopkins/Banderas) and The Princess Bride (book and movie), are, I think, as good as it gets. Errol Flynn and Indiana Jones fans may of course argue the point; they'd be in my top ten.
