I love all things Hammer,but "Frankenstein must be Destroyed"(1969) holds a special place in my cold little heart.

I like how the Terence Fisher FRANKENSTEIN films have a grand story arc ... Peter Cushing's Frankenstein is really well developed through out this series ... but you have to only count the Fisher directed FRANKENSTEIN movies and leave out the other Frankenstein films that Hammer made without Fisher even though one of them does star Peter Cushing.

As for my favorite Hammer film?

I'd have to go with FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL because it has the feel of an embittered swan song.

I haven't seen it in years, and I wish they would put it out on DVD in this country.
