I have to be honest and say I don't have a favorite because I can't pick on over another of his films. They are all great films and I will watch anything he was in. I even watch the Brady Bunch episode he was in whenever it comes on. I'll even watch the Thriller video just because of his voice over work. You can't really go wrong with anything Vincent Price is in.

Simpson was considered for the title role in The Terminator, but producers feared he was \"too nice\" to be taken seriously as a cold-blooded killer.<br />Isn\'t hindsight great.<br />A person is smart.

The Fly and House on Haunted Hill both come to mind, but my personal favourite has to be The Raven (1963) with Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre.  What a romp.  His cameos in The House of Frightenstein also delight me no end - Vincent Price could be so deliciously funny, intelligent and evil at the same time.  I remember as a child I was instantly fond of him, regardless of role.  Still am.

Price was a diverse actor-few remember his comedic turns in CHAMPAGENE for CEASER and the BARON of ARIZONa in the early 50's. His RAVEN costar Karloff drowned him in a cask of wine in 1939-TOWER of LONDON.

Heres a nice tribute to Vinnie I found while trying (unsuccsesfully) to find a clip of the 1939 version of TOWER OF LONDON. Vinnie played the role of Richard the 3rd in the 60's remake!

There are several I like, but the Phibes movies are what I think of when I hear his name.
Raw bacon is GREAT! It's like regular bacon, only faster, and it doesn't burn the roof of your mouth!

Like so many others, he made so many films with so many fine actors, that I can't pick just one.

Opinion?

THE TINGLER!! -  Superb transition from LSD freakout to calm scientist -

Nobody here has mentioned DRAGONWYK - Dragonwyk is a great little period piece set in the 1800's - Price's character, born of a proud family, goes slowly insane as times change & the final scene - wherein he has reverted to his ancestry of the 1600's - where he sits in his regal chair in the middle of a dirt road, at night, asking for "Tribute . . . tribute . . ." from the shocked passers-by is a great scene from any movie -

I'm amazed that more people don't remember "Dragonwyk" these days -

I have no idea what this means.

Gotta jump on the THEATER OF BLOOD bandwagon, just an all around fun film.

HOUSE OF WAX is also good cheesy fun. And I love Charles Bronson as an "Igor" character. I don't think he speaks during the film.

Just checked the IMDB listing. The name of Bronson's "Igor" character is... Igor! Astonishingly creative!

Peter Johnson: I remember DRAGONWYCK and in fact had been talking with my brother about this film just a few weeks ago. 
My own favorite movie VP role was as the Invisible Man in ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN    :wink:

Couldn't find a clip; this will have to do:

I love ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN! :thumbup:

Vincent Price is the Invisible Man, but only in the last 2 mins of the movie. I wish he had a major part in it.
