Essential Frankenstein Movies 1910 - Thomas Edison's Frankenstein 1931 - Frankenstein (Boris Karloff, Colin Clive) 1935 - Bride of Frankenstein (Boris Karloff, Colin Clive) 1939 - Son of Frankenstein (Boris Karloff, Basil Rathbone) 1957 - Curse of Frankenstein (Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing) 1974 - Young Frankenstein (Peter Boyle, Gene Wilder) 1994 - Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (Robert DeNiro, Kenneth Branagh) We start with the long lost version of this classic tale from one of the greatest inventors of all time.  Then, the classic Frankenstein which made Karloff a star, and the two suberb sequels.  The Cushing-Lee version from Hammer studios in '57 caused a re-discovery of the old Universal monster films.  Mel Brooks' hilarious parody, Young Frankenstein, makes the list, as does Branagh's version from the 90s.

A larger list of Frankenstein movies... not all great, but a good sampling of the electrifying movies made about the doctor & his creation:
