Flash Gordon: The Greatest Adventure Of All (1982)
Forget about Sam J. Jones, because Robert Ridgely was the most comic book accurate version of our favorite blond hero in Flash Gordon: The Greatest Adventure of All. The film might not have as aged well as some of the other titles on this list, but it’s still a piece of forgotten animation treasure.
Produced by Filmation and written by Samuel A. Peeples, this hard-to-find movie gave us everything that we could ever want from a Flash Gordon film. While it deviated slightly from the animated series and the live-action outing of the time, it still provided the galactic drama and action we craved. Of course, it had Ming the Merciless, too.
We might be gaga over Batman and Superman nowadays, but Flash was the real MVP back then. Even today, this animated film is still a legendary adaptation that we can all enjoy and cherish.
