    Favourite Hammer Flick?

    For me it's Curse of Frankenstein, I love both the leads and think this is Hammer at it's best. I'm also a fan of a lot of their seventies fare, like the whole "Sexy Vampire" series. Even a bad Hammer film is a fun one for me.

    Quatermass and the pit, I think this movie is just brilliant. The special effects are bad the hero and heroine are sterotyped but the story is just great...there is something buried deep on the London Underground aliens from another world that cause a mass hypnosis making people running around like mindless zombies...love it.

      Yeah that one had a big effect on me as a kid, the dead astronaut bug things were really neat.

        I've always liked "Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter". Lots of potential for a series there.

        "Curse of the Werewolf" is good. Oliver Reed really chews the scenery (and people!) in that one.

          Oooh, very difficult to pick just one.
          Lee and Cushing together = amazing chemistry.
          Oliver Reed as the werewolf = love it
          and the sexy vampire movies of course, what's not to love

            I'd have to go with the original classics, CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN and DRACULA (US: HORROR OF DRACULA). I also like DRACULA PRINCE OF DARKNESS though, and being an Hong Kong film fan, I also have a soft spot for their collaboration with Shaw: LEGEND OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN VAMPIRES, even though it wasn't really as good as it could have been.

              Really dug all the Frankie moves. all the technicolor guts and blood are big fun. And of course any that had heaving breasts!!

                My favorite is Brides of Dracula. It doesn't have Christopher Lee but Cushing is awesome.

                  That's a real poser, I love quite a few of the Hammer classics. I'll throw in a vote for the Hammer version of "The Mummy", just because no one else mentioned it I also loved movies like "The Reptile" and "The Gorgon".
                  I saw "Quatermass and the Pit" under the title "Five Million Years to Earth". The Martian grasshoppers were nifty cool

                      I always liked the Christopher Lee Dracula series also.

                          I am going to have to go with these as well,
                          Lee as Dracula
                          Oliver Reed as the werewolf
                          Okay what the heck I'll say any Frankie movie as well.

                            My father named me after Christopher Lee. He even wanted to make my middle name "Lee", but my mother nixed that part of the plan.

                              The Horror of Dracula is my favorite, but there's a lot of other great one. If I had to pick a second, I'd go with Captain Kronos. But even the mediocre ones are still entertaining.
