Which Christopher Lee movie do you watch most often?

nobby.c · 28th August 2002, 07:49 PM

I was going to set up a poll but didnt want to restrict the list of movies.
I was wondering which movies do you watch over and over again starring Christopher Lee and how often?
At the moment I have to say I have watched Fellowship of the Rings at least 3 times since I got it this month. (the one signed by Mr. Lee have I mentioned that before... :D )
However the one I really like rewatching is Hound of the Baskervilles as it is a double whammy of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing (triple whammy if you include Hammer Pictures). I like to watch that at least once a month.
I know these are obvious ones but hey I'm a predictable guy..

Definitely Lord of the Rings. I saw it 4 times at the theater and about 3 or 4 times since I bought the movie. After that I love his parts in The Wicker Man. When Star Wars 2 comes out on DVD I'm sure I'll be watching that several times a week.

I've never been able to figure out exactly why I watch the particular films that I do over and over again, except that I just enjoy them, and that they bring back wonderful memories of childhood.

My most-watched would likely be:

1) The Satanic Rites of Dracula
2) Dracula AD 1972
3) The House that Dripped Blood
4) Scars of Dracula
5) Taste the Blood of Dracula
6) The Wicker Man
7) Dracula Has Risen from the Grave
8) Horror Express
9) Hound of the Baskervilles
10) The Mummy

The Christopher Lee films I can put in and watch no matter what my mood is: Gormenghast, LOTR, Hound of the Baskervilles, Scars of Dracula. If I had Curse of Frankenstein on video or DVD I would probably watch it fairly often too. I have fond memories of that one even though I haven't seen it since AMC's last "Monsterfest".

The one I re-watch most often is Curse of Frankenstein. I'm always fascinated by the range of feelings and emotions Mr. Lee is able to endow the Creature with simply through using gesture. movement, and body language.

yeah I am waiting for curse of frankenstein to come out on DVD that and Horror of Dracula.

That's the primary reason I re-watch The Mummy time and again. Unbelievable the range of emotions that emanate entirely from Mr. Lee's eyes. At least the Creature was allowed to scream a time or two, but Kharis had nothing but eye contact through which to convey expression. It's a remarkable performance.

THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN is #1 with me. I think it was a landmark performance and a real milestone in Mr. Lee's career. While it wasn't the most financially successful Bond film ever, it did have what is to this very day the best Bond villain ever. Scaramanga was to me the most believable and genuinely dangerous villain in the series to date. Besides, he had a flying car! What guy wouldn't want a flying car? I've worn out two VHS copies so far and the DVD Special Edition is great. I think this is Roger Moore's best and most serious Bond portrayal because he knew he was working with someone who could actually act! I think they worked very well together and I would liked to see additional Moore/Lee pairings in other films.
(Brit Ekland, although in a minor role, takes her shot as a Bond girl. I wish they had expanded her role a bit.)

Second would be FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING. What an amazing work. But it has a very long way to go before it becomes my most watched Mr. Lee film. (No Britt Ekland but I like this film anyway.)

Third THE WICKER MAN. I always liked this movie since I saw it at the drive-in theatre. I watch it over and over, not just for Mr. Lee but also for the brilliant script and direction. The settings were perfect too. Every film devotee can not fail to recognize the signifigance of this film, as it is widely considered to be the CASABLANCA of suspense films. (Britt Ekland ranks among the most beautiful women that ever lived and was especially gorgeous in this film because she was glowing as a mom to be glows. (The booty shots were a body double though. Too bad.)

The Wickerman without a doubt. It's my alltime favorite movie.

Other titles:
The Devil Rides Out and (ofcourse) Lord Of the Rings. :)

When i didnt have a dvd player To The Devil A Daughter was played on a regular basis.
I will do so again as soon as i have the dvd. ;)

Well, I think it'd have to be Fellowship of the Ring - though finding time to watch it in its entirity can be problematic! :P I can't wait for Attack of the Clones to come out, though - that'll be spinning in my DVD player for quite some time! ;)

**Joakim Lundberg** · 29th August 2002, 01:36 PM

There are currently three films I watch over and over.

The Wicker Man
Gormenghast
Fellowship of The Ring.

**Colin Bushby** · 29th August 2002, 07:59 PM

Definatley The Wickerman , but catching up now that I have the DVD The Lord of the Rings , I watch it everytime the TV is boring, which is quite a lot nowadays in England.

Anne Ikonen · 30th August 2002, 10:41 AM

The films which I watch very often are:The Whip and the Body (I just watched it yesterday),The Wicker Man,The Man With the Golden Gun,I,Monster and of course all those Hammer Dracula movies.And LOTR of course and when AOTC will released in a DVD I'm sure I will watch that very often too!

You can say that again, Colin :D... but Hound of the Baskervilles was actually on Channel 4 yesterday, which I very much enjoyed, and The Three Musketeers is on channel 1 on Sunday - actually some good stuff on TV! :P

It's probably a three way tie between........ Dracula , The Devil Rides Out and The Hound Of The Baskervilles .
I can't even hazard a guess about the amount of times I've seen these movies , let's just say that I could easily quote most of the dialogue .
