The Great Mouse Detective (1986)

An American Disney animated mystery directed by Ron Clements, Burny Mattinson, Dave Michener and John Musker, starring Vincent Price and Frank Welker.
A rat criminal overlord has abducted the mechanic father of a small mouse child. A mouse man returning from a journey finds the child and they meet up with a Sherlock Holmes style detective. As the case unravels, it turns out that the rat is using the child's father to build a machine which will kill the detective and a robotic replacement for the mouse queen so he can rule the city.
This is the best and most coherent detective film I have ever seen. Maybe my brain works in a different way from live action detective films. The only one that made sense to me was Sin City (2005). I liked that the animation was classic Disney style and there were only 3 musical style songs, none of which were the "heartstring" style. There was an equal amount of humor and suspense. I'm rating this awesome because when it finished, I wanted to reset and watch it again.

The Bat (1959)

An American crime mystery directed by Crane Wilbur, starring Vincent Price, Agnes Moorehead and John Sutton.
A mystery writer moves into a mansion of ill repute and rumors are around that rabid bats as well as a killer called "The Bat" are on the loose. The owner of the house is shot by his doctor after revealing that he has stolen money from the bank. The writer and her maid find that the killer has broken into the house and call the police.
The plot was complex and there were many characters to keep track of. The style seemed '40s to me because of the black and white video with not so great audio. It just barely kept my attention enough to register what was going on and I wouldn't say that I liked it. There weren't any technical errors and the acting was alright. I actually like Vincent Price as an actor. Overall, I decree a new rating of "tolerable" in between poor and o.k. The color shall be orangish yellow of a light value.
SO... Updated Rating System:
Best
Awesome
Good
Adequate
O.K.
Tolerable
Poor
Bad
Shit

The Last Man on Earth (1964)

A science fiction horror directed by Ubaldo Ragona and Sidney Salkow, starring Vincent Price.
A strange disease kills everyone except Vincent Price and turns them into vampire-zombies.
This would have worked better as an episode of The Twilight Zone. It dragged on for a little too long and got more than a little annoying. I'm rating it poor because it just wasn't good.

the abomnable dr. phibes (1971)

a murder mystery starring vincent price
a man sets out to murder the doctors that failed his wife's surgery by way of the 7 plagues from the old testament.
the audio and video were o.k.
check out: the way phibes plays the organ. he makes it very clear that he is not the one playing it.
it's oldschool and it sucked. I got way bored watching it.

house of usher (1960)

an edgar allen poe horror directed by roger corman
the plot is like this: a regular guy arrives at what looks like a haunted house. he demands that the butler let him in against the will of the homeowners. the butler makes him take off his boots and gives him someone else's shoes to wear. he meets with the homeowner (vincent price) who acts weird and is a piss poor lute player. the regular guy wants to take vincent's sister away to live in the real world with him, but vincent says no. the regular guy stays at the house for a while (again against the homeowner's wishes) until the sister faints, is mistaken for dead and gets locked in a coffin. the guy freaks out and all hell breaks loose.
the audio was fine and the video looked like it was copied from the original film with all of the blotches and scrolling grain intact.
it was ok. I like lovecraft more than poe, so I'm a little biased. the outdoor shots of the house and surrounding area were my favorite part.
