In the mid-1960s, Amicus also produced two films based on ''[[Doctor Who]]'' which had debuted on television in 1963. The films, ''[[Dr. Who and the Daleks]]'' (1965) and ''[[Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.]]'' (1966), are the only theatrical film adaptations of the series. In these films, Peter Cushing played "Dr. Who", a human scientist rather than an alien, with ''Who'' as his actual surname, disregarding the then-nebulous [[backstory]] of the TV series.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/id/1273075/|title=BFI Screenonline: Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965)|work=screenonline.org.uk}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.petercushing.co.uk/historydrwho.htm|title=THE HISTORY OF THE DR|work=petercushing.co.uk}}</ref>

Amicus also funded and produced films of other genres. ''[[Danger Route]]'' (1967) was a film version of [[Christopher Nicole]]'s (writing as Andrew York) 1966 spy novel ''The Eliminator'', directed by [[Seth Holt]], the only film of the Jonas Wilde series of novels to have been filmed.

[[Margaret Drabble]]'s adaptation of her novel ''The Millstone'' (1965) was filmed as ''[[A Touch of Love (1969 film)|A Touch of Love]]'' (1969), and [[Laurence Moody]]'s novel ''The Ruthless Ones'' (1969) was filmed as ''[[What Became of Jack and Jill?]]'' (1972)<ref name=screen /><ref name=guardian /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.britmovie.co.uk/films/What-Became-of-Jack-and-Jill/listType/alpha|title=What Became of Jack and Jill - Britmovie - Home of British Films|work=britmovie.co.uk|access-date=17 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150217191303/http://www.britmovie.co.uk/films/What-Became-of-Jack-and-Jill/listType/alpha|archive-date=17 February 2015|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

Amicus Productions produced a few [[science fiction]] films, including a 1967 [[double bill]] of ''[[The Terrornauts]]'' and ''[[They Came from Beyond Space]]'' that were produced when [[Joseph E. Levine]], who Rosenberg had previously worked with, told Rosenberg that if Amicus could produce two films for £200,000, [[Embassy Pictures]] would finance and release both of them.<ref>p. 292 Senn, Bryan ''“Twice the Thrills!

Amicus later produced a trilogy of adaptations of the works of [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]], including ''[[The Land That Time Forgot (1974 film)|The Land That Time Forgot]]'' (1974), ''[[At the Earth's Core (film)|At the Earth's Core]]'' (1976), and ''[[The People That Time Forgot (film)|The People That Time Forgot]]'' (1977).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bfi.org.uk/features/amicus-and-art-film-poster|title=Amicus and the art of the film poster|work=British Film Institute|date=4 July 2012 }}</ref>
