This one is a difficult choice, all of them are intense in their own ways. All 4 men are superbly talented, and it's hard to go wrong when reading Poe. I think I like Lee's the most though. He's very Shakespearean, and the ending is stellar. I like that James Earl Jones' version was steady throughout. He had us hanging on every word in the entire video. Then Walken's was good, but picked up greatly near the end. Would be my second choice. Vincent Price is a legend, but I liked his reading least of all 4.
