Surprised that Frankenstein is beating out Bride, if only just.  It's been so long since I've seen either.  I recall liking Bride more but don't remember why outside of the special effects and the slicker production value.  I'll have to revisit both soon.  Perfect time of year to do so.

It's been years but I remember liking both pretty much equally.  Probably due for a re-watch.

Am I remembering correctly that Whale was a big ol' queen?  He sure looks like it in that pic!

Me! But both are great.

Also really like Show Boat but it's been an awfully long time since I've seen it.
