Ligeia is the most lofty of the Corman Poe's. It is the most emotional, and the one with actual dramatic conflict behind everything. (Screenplay by Robert Towne) The first time I saw it, I thought it was the best of them all, but upon each revisit, it begins to drag and drag and drag until you realize that aside from the opening, a few scenes in the middle and the ending, that this has all been done before...in the Poe's!

Burial is a nice little sleeper whose only fault is that it does what it is supposed to and nothing more.

I'd probably rank Ligeia third best overall behind Pit and the Pendulum and Masque of the Red Death. Masque gets better each time and is an absolute gem. The worst would have to be The Haunted Palace, but that's actually based on Lovecraft instead of Poe.
