Movies where Dr Watson is smarter than Sherlock Holmes?

While it is true in the books that in certain instances Watson proves himself to be more resourceful and efficient than Holmes, this fact is not as pronounced in the movies.

However, several popular movies showcase Dr Watson's intelligence and abilities. One such movie is "The Seven-Percent Solution" (1976). In this movie, Dr Watson solves a case that Holmes had been unable to decipher, demonstrating his own deductive skills and resourcefulness.

Another movie that portrays Dr Watson in an intelligent light is "Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows" (2011). In this movie, Watson plays a crucial role in uncovering a conspiracy, using his medical knowledge and street smarts to assist Holmes in solving the case.

While these movies do not solely feature Dr Watson as the smarter character, they do highlight his significant contributions to the cases and depict his intelligence as being vital to Holmes' successes.
