Greatest Role of Vincent Price

Greatest Role of Vincent Price.

[Anton Phibes]

Toss up for me. Between Edward Lionheart, Nicholas Medina, and...of course...Dr. Phibes.

Lionheart is great.

Also a big fan of his understated work in LAST MAN.

As well, he LOVED Radio, and was very good in that field, as with SUSPENSE's "Pit and Pendulum," ESCAPE's "Three Skeleton Key," and his Brit series, PRICE OF FEAR (with Cushing and others.)

Aliens in the Mind with Peter Cushing was a great BBC drama too Wich.

The first person here who says "Rattigan" is their favorite Price character is in serious trouble,lol. 

[Mord]

Lionheart and Phibes for me

[Nosferatu79]

The first person here who says "Rattigan" is their favorite Price character is in serious trouble,lol. 

Well, it is tough to choose just one role, and Rattigan is a great vocal performance from Mr. Price! 

[Memphremagog]

Prospero from MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH or Matthew Hopkins from WITCHFINDER GENERAL for me..

[Mike...In 3-D!]

Dr. Robert Morgan from The Last Man on Earth gets my vote.

[Gory Glenn]

What, no Tingler?! Really though anyone who can pull off being on an acid trip deserves some kudos.  Toss up between Last Man on Earth and Dr. Phibes for me.

[Wich2]

Aliens in the Mind with Peter Cushing was a great BBC drama too Wich.

Anton, I thought both Vincent & Peter were good in that, but that the series itself kinda weakened after a strong start.

I think Price is a riot in HIS KIND OF WOMAN.

[ChristineBCW]

Ludi's choice is mine, and by a far far margin: 1951's HIS KIND OF WOMAN. 

And here's why. 

He's a irritating supporting character for the first half, and suddenly, in the last third of the film, he absolutely dominates and controls the screen - over Robert Mitchum (hardly ever a slouch in screen-dominance) or one of the greatest cleavaged actresses, Jane Russell. 

(I'm reminded that, in GHOSTBUSTERS 2, Sigourney shyly asks Ramis, "How's Venkman?"   Ramis answers, "He was borderline for a while.  Then he crossed over.")

This is what Vincent Price does with his character - he starts with an over-top jackass of a character, and then uses the SPINAL TAP's amps and cranks it to "11".  It's hilarious, marvelous and I always walk out of that theater saying, "Now THAT is a supporting performance!" 

It's easily my favorite Vincent role, although I still watch TINGLER just about every chance it's on.

[Joseph_Baeza]

His role as Nicholas Van Ryn in Dragonwyck (1946) was excellent, but in terms of horror films, it's a toss up between Phibes and Lionhart.

[geezer butler]

Prospero from MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH or Matthew Hopkins from WITCHFINDER GENERAL for me..

Totally voting for Prospero too. Hopkins great suggestion also.

Dr. Phibes!
