British actor Terence Stamp, who has died aged 87, played characters who tended to be both charming but disturbing, and starred in more than 60 films since his Swinging Sixties beginnings.

Here are five that gained classic or cult status:

- 'Billy Budd' (1962) -

Adapted from Herman Melville's short novel about a dashing sailor, Stamp won immediate acclaim for his first major screen performance playing the titular character.

British legend Peter Ustinov directed the film and starred as the ship's captain, who has to intervene when drama breaks out between Budd and a comrade.

An adaption of Melville's novel had enjoyed a popular run on Broadway in the 1950s before its movie adaptation, which picked up four BAFTAs, a Golden Globe win and an Oscar nod for Stamp.

- 'The Collector' (1965)
