Dr. Moreau Anyone?

Just finished watching "Island Of The Lost Souls" from 1932. I thought it was really good! Excellent cast with Charles Laughton as Dr. Moreau and Richard Arlen as Edward Parker. It also had Bela Lugosi as the "Sayer Of The Law", who delivered his lines with emphasis! All around entertaining film that I had never seen before. I had been eyeballing three films of the Island Of Dr. Moreau adaptations and read that this was the definitive one. I do think it would be hard to top. Early black and white classic! I also have the 1977 version with Burt Lancaster but have yet to watch it. I have also thought about the 1996 version with Marlon Brando but have yet to pull the trigger on that one. Any thoughts on Dr. Moreau?
