The Werewolf and the Yeti
The Werewolf and the Yeti is a 1975 Spanish creature feature directed by Miguel Iglesias Bonns. It is one of the 72 films on the Director of Public Prosecutions' video nasties list, and it was successfully prosecuted for obscenity.
Paul Naschy in the Himalayas. On the list almost certainly because somebody read the title and stopped.

Paul Naschy in the Himalayas, and it is on the DPP list almost certainly because somebody read the title and stopped there.
Naschy played Waldemar Daninsky, a Polish nobleman with lycanthropy, in twelve films across four decades, writing most of them himself. This is the eighth. An expedition looking for the yeti finds a cave, two women, and a curse.
It is a Spanish gothic adventure picture with werewolf makeup, some nudity and a monster suit, and there is nothing in it that would raise an eyebrow in a Hammer film of the same decade.
Naschy is worth knowing about. He made these under Franco's censorship, largely on his own initiative, and was the closest thing Spain had to Lon Chaney.
Successfully prosecuted, which remains one of the least explicable outcomes on the list.

Adjacent
Jaws
The mechanical shark did not work, so Spielberg shot around it and accidentally made the best one.
Phase IV
Saul Bass's only feature. The ants are shot like a nature documentary and it is deeply strange.
Piranha
Joe Dante's Jaws cash-in, written by John Sayles, and it is far smarter and funnier than it needed to be.
Prophecy
Mercury poisoning produces a mutant bear in the Maine woods, and it is angrier about logging than most activists.
Christine
Carpenter directing King's killer car in the same year he made almost nothing else work.
The Thing
Flopped, was called empty and disgusting, and is now the most imitated horror film of its decade.
