The "Hammer" films were quite ground-breaking when they first appeared in late 50s Britain. The combination of sex and violence went a long way toward giving the horror film genre a new look, after it had been dominated by "Universal" studios during the 30s and 40s.  A whole gallery of respected actors contributed much in attracting the older cinemagoers. Amongst them: Peter Cushing (my number 1 favourite), Christopher Lee, Andre Morell, Clifford Evans, Bette Davis, Rupert Davies, Michael Ripper, Patrick Troughton, Hazel Court amongst others.  The ones made from 1957 till about 1969 represent the very best in my opinion. In addition, the company produced films from other genres. Amongst them - sci fi, comedies, thrillers, war films and action/adventure films.
