I realize that Boris & Bela dont actually share any scenes together in Black Friday and only one in The Body Snatcher, however, they are here for completists..
I gotta go w/Son of Frankenstein. Ygor & the Monster, a great team for the ages, & one of Lugosi's best non-vampire roles.

I quite agree! Ygor is right up there with Lugosi's Count Dracula & Murder Legendre.
I voted for Son of Frankenstein.
Very tough choice between The Black Cat and The Raven. I literally flipped a coin and The Raven won. Both classics IMO.
For completists, you should have listed Gift Of Gab, although I'm sure it wouldn't have won. Anyway, my vote; The Black Cat!
Frankenstein being my favorite monster, had to go with Son of Frankenstein. Bela's Igor was fantastic.

Too true! He is fantastic in it and very much un-Bela-like in the voice and mannerisms. If not for my deep, almost cultish, love for the look and lines from The Black Cat, SoF would have been my #1 pick, as it is a marvelous film.
The Raven
- The Black Cat
architecturally speaking-
"The Black Cat"
Castle Poelzig has always been one of my favorite 'movie' houses~
THE BLACK CAT, because it belonged to them both...equally. It was also done with all the care and style of "Big U".
