Many will argue that Bela Lugosi was the best but I still say it was this guy...

If one reads Bram Stokers Book then sees Bela Lugosi as Dracula can make a pretty good pitch for Lugosi, the man had the look and the natural speech cadences right out of the Carpathians. Lee on the other hand had to do a bit more acting to achieve success and so he gets an a for the day.

 

[Rick2583]

Bela definitely had the voice & the stare, Maybe I choose Lee because of the color films that showed the blood shot eyes & the red blood trickling from his mouth after every bite.

I'll remember him more for Lord Saruman and Count Dooku, but I'm not as old as the ancient ones on here.

Saruman and Count Dooku to the younger generation.

As good as those people were , standards for that horror genre were most likely set by Lon Chaney Sr. AKA "The Man With a Thousand Faces. Died in 1930 at the young age of 47.

Brilliantly portrayed by James Cagney in the 1957 movie by the same name. One of my favorite all time Cagney movies. A must see.

Vincent Price was great, one of my all time favorites.
Was also his usual best with a voice over in one of the all time video/hits/songs/pop classics - Michael Jackson's "Thriller".

His best role -imo, "House on Haunted Hill"
They couldn't fool HIM!

Cagney was one bad dude, I enjoyed him as well and the man was a Yankees Fan.

Price was a slick looking, smooth talking individual who could turn evil on a dime and maintain a congenial manner while so doing.

 

[Rick2583]

With Price there were just to many enjoyable movies that he did to pick one but some of my favorites were....

House of wax
Pit & the Pendulum
The fly
Last man on earth
The Raven
House on haunted hill

+> That movie was great BUT the skeleton walking out of the basement acid bath was really amateur. The female screaming was stupid as she could have run out of the room . The freakin fish line bone pile could do 1 mile per day. What was the deal with him and his wife? FYI: VP was an art expert The real deal art that was worth tons o money He actually had a show on it. Did you like him with the pencil moustache or the picture above??

Saruman and Count Dooku to the younger generation.

Count Dooku.... Who the hell is that???

 

[Rick2583]

Count Dooku.... Who the hell is that???

That had me scratching my head also, never heard of him. And I remember him most with the stache.

Seriously?

To answer your questions, he's a character from Star Wars... Predecessor to Darth Vader, the apprentice to the Emperor (Senator) Palpatine aka Darth Sidious

Walked out on the 1st star wars & never saw any of the 12-13 sequels that followed.

 

[blgridesagain]

Empire Strikes Back was a good one.
By the way, anyone remember the name of David Hedison's cat in the Vincent Price movie, The Fly?
Poor thing got scrambled into space when Andre (Hedison) tested his transporter.

MEOWWWWW

Hammer, he's a lost cause.

There were 2 trilogies and the 1st of the 3rd trilogy hits theaters this Dec. You realize you're in the minority of people on this planet for never having watched Star Wars. I'm stunned that you could be so out of touch....wait, never mind, lol!

And believe me Tom I'm a pretty big Sci-fy guy. Was a big fan of the original star trek. I remember the original star wars, I watched about an hour of it before I left the theater, I just couldn't get into it. Hell maybe I was just tired. Maybe someday I 'll give it another look.

Great.. I thought he was a US citizen.

It's a pretty big part of the cultural lexicon. Regarding the 2 trilogies, Empire Strikes Back is the best of the original series. Revenge of the Sith, is the best of the prequels.
