I enjoyed Burroughs' books very much, especially the Mars series. Most of the Tarzan movies were abominable, especially the early ones - I absolutely hated Weismuller. In the books Tarzan was intelligent, spoke several languages and, to date, has never been portrayed accurately. The most insulting thing the movies did was take up Weismuller's yodel as Tarzan's yell - that was never in the books.
