Oh for sure. Easily my favorite

Although the "big four," Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula and this film are my favorite films the Invisible Man is my favorite of the four.

reply

Uhh, the "big four" are Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman, and The Mummy.

Cool.

Yes.

Strangely, I find myself almost agreeing. I love the book and find the film very entertaining, if very flawed and clunky. And while the screaming (you know exactly what I mean) gets a bit weary after a while, I look at this movie as almost a parody of existing Universal Monster movies.
I put this on par with 'Frankenstein', another Universal classic that I adore. I can't decide which I prefer more. Frankenstein is a better film, but I find this one far more entertaining.

I would say Creature From the Black Lagoon is my favorite, but Frankenstein and this constantly bounce around for second place. I would be more inclined to rewatch The Invisible Man over Frankenstein, but both are great films.

I really hope the new one will keep in a similar tone to this one, and not go off into a completely different direction like The Mummy (2017). Not interested in that film much at all...although I'll probably still see it, cause I see way too many movies. :p

It certainly helps that Claude Rains was such an excellent actor.
