What Are Your Favorite Films Made by Hammer?

Yes Christopher Lee puts in such an intense and commanding performance. He carries the film.

He was outstanding in the role.

Tom Baker also made a good Rasputin (in a boring movie).
Alan Rickman was too emo for my liking.

A Night to Remember is the only non-horror film of theirs I saw. To pick a favorite, pick something that has Cushing and Lee

The Evil of Frankenstein 1964. It had Peter Cushing and the monster was pretty cool !

I watched THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN last week. Better than I remembered it.
I realized that the gist of the story was that Victor was the orphan abandoned--his father died when he was a child and had no mother--so he, like the creature, was without compassionate relationships.
In this version he is the monster created, not so much the creature with a Beatles hairstyle.

The Frankenstein of Evil and Created Woman and Monster From Hell seems to be a more sympathetic depiction-compared with Curse/Revenge and especially Must Be Destroyed.

Quatermass and the Pit serial is tops! Its damn eerie in B&W and you get a little more background in sic episodes. Plus "Mars Bringer of War" playing at the title card is awesome too.

Thumbs up on Kronos too. It has real heart and was I think only one of a couplee that director did.

I absolutely agree on Quatermass.
