Bride of Frankenstein is a 1935 movie that made Roger Ebert's Great movies list.

I must confess that I thoroughly loved this film. Boris Karloff's acting and the script really make you feel sorry for the monster, who just wants to be loved and have a friend. This was creepy, campy and sad, and the bride's appearance near the end of the film is just plain great. The script is smart, the costuming and scenery is brilliant and it's just a lot of creepy fun.

I think I have a thing for classic horror films, even though I do not enjoy modern horror at all.

The monster in the novel also just wants a friend and to be loved. i found it a very powerful look at how people judge others based on superficial criteria and how devastating loneliness can be.
