Ok, Dracula and vampire movies have had their fun, so now let's talk out favorite Frankenstein movies.
Obviously bride is a big fave. I also liked "Mary Shelley's frankenstein" as it came at least close to the original novel.
I'll also recommend a really strange and obscure one called "Frankenstein unbound" starring John Hurt and Raul Julia as Dr. Frankenstein. It was an odd movie but oddly good. Not a typical frankenstein movie at all. Rauk Julia made an unusual but effective Doctor in it.
The first one from 1931. The Bride 2nd. SON OF 3rd.
Then you got I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN (1957) which I love.

RAUL JULIA was good in everything (talk about bacon). That film is not "obscure", it just wasn't a big success. If you're interested in SciFi, the novel is wonderful (a followup
Dracula Unbound, not so much).
ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948) is an all-time favorite. I play it every Thanksgiving. Along with KING KONG. My Grandson loves it. (He's 8.) And me and my sons and Tiana too. Tiana loves movies with giant monsters. Kong and Godzilla are her favorites.
She's a sweetie! :cheers:

Abbot and Costello is always my go-to for Universal Monsters in general.
All the Universal Monster goodness, without the bland protagonists of the time.

Now that must be an obscure movie, I never heard of it! Will look for it, thanks.

What're you talking about? I mentioned a novel.
I liked many of the Hammer Frankenstein films too. EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN (1964) being a favorite.

Of all those named- I only seen YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (at the Strand in Paw Paw Mi.) and LADY FRANKENSTEIN. Oh yeah- JESSE JAMES MEETS FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER.
Wait! I seen FRANKENWEENIE (I loved it!) and GODS AND MONSTERS. Enjoyed that as well.
As far as the
look of Frankenstein-Karloff first, Glenn strange on a very close second.

Out of them all, the only one that was scary was the first one.
http://youtu.be/v5FtI472Q6I (http://youtu.be/v5FtI472Q6I)
The first Frankenstein movie was made in 1910 by Thomas edison's studio.
Barely watchable but an intact copy does exist.
https://youtu.be/w-fM9meqfQ4
BTW, "evil of Frankenstein" featuring the Frankenstein that looks like it's makeup consists of dried mud and straw, is on svengoolie next week.
There was the 1910 Edison Frankenstein; the lost LIFE WITHOUT A SOUL (1915); and the Italian made IL MOSTRO DI FRANKENSTEIN (1920)-also lost.
I just watched my DVD of this "classic" a few days ago:

This is the worst Frankenstein movie ever made, anytime, anywhere, by anyone. And I bought the damned DVD:

Sadly, I have to agree. Sadly because the director is a nice guy and a genuinely talented cinematographer. He's just no director, unfortunately.

A-yep.
Call me weird, but I always enjoyed, for some obscure reason, FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL (1974).
Oh yeah- that's David (Darth Vader!) Prowse as the Monster from Hell!
(https://i.imgur.com/Kk7oFmA.jpg) (https://lunapic.com)
"The Monster from Hell" was always one of the weirder looking Frankenstein's Monsters. It's not a bad design, it's just kinda out there.
The monster from Van Helsing was also a bit odd, but I kinda liked that one.
Did anybody here see that movie about Frankenstein fighting Gargoyles? I didn't but I was kinda curious
"I, Frankenstein" was a superhero comic movie with frankenstein's creation as a comic superhero, basically. The same way "Dracula untold" made a comic superhero out of Dracula.
I always enjoyed this movie.It's a giant Japanese monster movie-with the Frankenstein monster fighting Baragon!
He does not fight a giant octopus, though...! :bluesad:
FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD (1965)!

He did in a deleted end scene after he fell into the earth, he ended up in a cavcern and attacked by the octopus.
