- Nineteen Eighty-Four (1954) Director: Rudolph Cartier. Made for TV, this BBC production was the first screen adaptation of George Orwell’s classic novel.
- The End of the Affair (1955) Director: Edward Dmytryk. In Edward Dmytryk’s adaptation of Graham Greene’s 1951 novel, Cushing is Henry Miles, a civil servant in a passionless marriage with Sarah (Deborah Kerr).
- The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) Director: Terence Fisher. The Curse of Frankenstein was the first film Cushing would make for Hammer Studios, the first occasion he would share the screen with Christopher Lee (the two had both appeared separately in 1948’s Hamlet and 1952’s Moulin Rouge, but didn’t meet until the shooting of this movie), and the first of six times he would star as the fiendish Baron Frankenstein, maniacal creator of the unwittingly destructive monster (Lee).
- Violent Playground (1958) Director: Basil Dearden. Violent Playground tells the story of a policeman, Truman (Stanley Baker), charged with becoming a juvenile liaison officer, and his frequent run-ins with gang leader and pyromaniac Johnnie (David McCallum).

- The Brides of Dracula (1960) And finally, we have what is hands-down my favorite character played by Peter Cushing: Dr. Van Helsing. While he spent most of his time at Hammer playing Frankenstein, it was his four films as two different Van Helsings that I really think redefined the character, the actor, and the studio.
- The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959) Hammer did exactly one adaptation of a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmesstory, and it’s a cracker. Cushing plays Holmes (he’d go on to play the character more on TV in the late ’60s and beyond) opposite Andre Morrell’s Dr. Watson and the two are terrific together.
- Twins of Evil (1971) By the ’70s, Hammer was losing the market by virtue of the fact that they couldn’t really do gore like the Americans could. So instead they decided to use what they knew they had in abundance: hot young actresses.
- The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) It only makes sense that Cushing would star in the very first Hammer Horror Film. Following a string of scary black & white sci-fi movies, Hammer moved into bright and colorful adaptations of Universal classics, with the condition that they not use any story points or distinct visuals from said movies.
