I loved the Mary Shelley book since childhood and grew up adoring the old Karloff movies. But it wasn't until Kenneth Branagh's version that I felt the book had been done justice and the themes brought across. Last night I watched a film called Victor Frankenstein which was made in the 80's a co Swedish and Irish Production which was amazing, and something I think Branagh may have seen . Anyone else enjoyed Frankenstein movies? Rie xxx

My favorite is Young Frankenstein. Gene Wilder is great in it. ;D
I agree, the movie Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein did the best as at protraying Frankenstein. In the book he is a thinking creature and the early movies viewed him more as a monster.

I remember one called "Frankenstein: The true story" and it was my fave one.....but anything to do with it is great....Dean Koontz has written 2 books about it and the 1st one was great and the 2nd was a bit of a let-down so I'm hoping there's more to come

My favourite Frankenstein film, is one of the sequels to the Hammer production 'Curse of Frankenstein', and was called 'Frankenstein Created Woman' which was a pretty rubbish explotation style title, despite the film being rather clever and not very tacky at all!
I did like the version with Kenneth Branagh also, as I am a fan of the great actor/director himself.

My favorite is most probobly the Hammer version. The doctor was so much different than in the 1994 version. Each new actor brings something different to the creature. Such as...
Karlof-killer with psychological issues.
Lee-Evil Zombie. A pure killing machine.
Prowse-combination of the two.
1993 Monster-A mean and brutal being. A testement to the brutality mankind has created.
Dinero-Best of the lot! Tormented, Evil, Vengeful, Unnatural. He pulled it off almost flawlessly.
Frankenstein is probobly a better concept than Dracula. Although Frankie would get crushed in a vs. between them. I am personally more of a Dracula fan, but some grat actors have come into the Frankenstein franchize, And it is very memorable in its themes of the dangers of unrestricted exploration into things which were never meant to be harnessed. Too bad the last adaption was unwatchable. -D

I actually prefer the Bride of Franenstein. It is rare for the second movie to overshadow the original one.
