Greatest Role of Vincent Price

Roderick Usher.

I do love Roderick Usher because Price looks so darn fabulous.

Strangely enough, Price's role of Mathew Hopkins was not a choice.  "Witchfinder General" (or as it was known in the states "The Conquering Worm)1968, was perhaps Prices's finest performance.

 Edward Lionheart or Dr. Phibes, but I have yet to see all of Price's films, so it's not definitive.

Some changes to the poll have been made based on the comments section.

I went with Phibes since Lionheart wasn't an option.

It has to be Phibes, because it's the only time he wore makeup to hide his face, linking him to both Universal and Hammer classics. There are other outstanding performances, but this puts Phibes over-the-top, in my opinion.

Phibes wasn't an option before yesterday.

Price's greatest role was Vincent Price. No character was as fascinating as The Man himself.

Vincent Price + F Troop= Solid Gold

So many to pick from, but Lionheart is my favorite. Phibes a very close second.

Ludi brought up Price's "fabulous looks" in USHER, and his costumings were indeed awesome throughout his career.  He easily transitioned into period-pieces from contemporary themes and was handsome enough to be a romantic lead and sinister enough to be everyone's suspect (LAURA). 

Another gem I'd offer up is CHAMPAGNE FOR CAESAR (1950) which has radio-mogul millionaire Vincent Price being taken down by lowly professor Ronald Colman in a comedy about a quiz show and Vincent Price's pet parrot, Caesar.   Price is an arrogant, far-too-important character in the movie to be 'bothered' with this contest-winning professor until Price's snide insult to his contestant earns an on-air rebuke - a challenge.  And then Price's Big Mouth gets put up next to someone else's bigger brain.  Quite fun, and Price is just about perfect for this role of a turned-up-nose ultra-rich character who, unfortunately, bases his wealth on the working-class listening audience.
