The Mummy. Lee made a very imposing Kharis.

You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return... -
Ooh, I forgot about that one! Isn't that the one where Van Helsing uses the windmill to make a giant cross? If so, that is a good one!My favorite is Brides of Dracula. It doesn't have Christopher Lee but Cushing is awesome.

For me its a tie between The curse of Frankenstein and Frankenstein and the monster from Hell. Dave prowse was brilliant in monster from Hell but one thing that got me when I was a kid was the way they quickly panned in on Christopher Lee's face when he removes the bandages in Curse.Comment

Love all Hammer movies (apparently the label is starting to make movies again)...and to narrow it down to just one is really hard...favs are Quatermass and the pit...anything with Cushion and Lee in it....but I think i'll pick...
Dr Jekll and Sister Hyde
as an original take on a classic, plus I loved Martine Beswick, Ralph Bates was always underestimated as an actor, so much in it for the horror fan....Burke and Hare("Burke by name and a berk by nature"),Jack the Ripper, shades of Sherlock Holmes, and some of the dialogue appears to have come straight out of a carry on movie.Great stuff...ENGLISH AND DAMN PROUD OF IT
British by birth....English by the grace of God.

I agree that horor film-makers today should watch the Hammer films. They just seem to drip with heavy mood and melancholy. Long before any creature makes it's appearance, you feel a sense of dread and foreboding.
Tame by todays standards, they really are "horror" movies. Someone asked on another thread "What movies do you watch around Halloween?".
For me, I love to pull out an old Hammer Dracula flic.
Too, some of my first memories of becoming aware of (ahem) the female shape, were of those buxom ladies in the Hammer movies... and of Ginger and Mary Ann.Comment
