Oh my mistake, House Of Wax was the first 3D colour feature from a major American studio. 3D films have been around since 1890! Wow!

Hahaha, I love this bit of trivia:

Among the scenes featured in the film that make the best use of 3-D are a museum fire, a paddleball man, and can-can girls. Ironically, the director de Toth was blind in one eye, and unable to experience stereo vision or the 3-D effects. “It’s one of the great Hollywood stories,” Price recalled. “When they wanted a director for [a 3-D] film, they hired a man who couldn’t see 3-D at all! Andre de Toth was a very good director, but he really was the wrong director for 3-D. He’d go to the rushes and say, ‘Why is everybody so excited about this?’ It didn’t mean anything to him. But he made a good picture, a good thriller. He was largely responsible for the success of the picture. The 3-D tricks just happened—there weren’t a lot of them. Later on, they threw everything at everybody.

I personally like both "The Last Man on Earth" and "House on Haunted Hill". They're both my favorite of his that he starred in. Others would include Edward Scissorhands and Vincent. both by Tim Burton.

I think the House of Wax as several have said, although my favourites are House on Haunted Hill and The Pit and the Pendulum. I have a thing for bad camp.
Vincent Price I adore you.

I liked The Tingler and Cry of the Banshee. He was great in Dr. Phibes.

I would have to go with The Tingler. Drop acid and get so scared that monsters come out of your spine? Not bad for the 50's. Plus they promoted the movie by putting vibrators in the some of the seats in the theaters so it would make more people scream. Classic stuff.

I love House of Wax because it has both Vincent Price and Carolyn Jones in it! Believe it or not she plays the squeaky-voiced blond in the corset at the beginning.
