Your best vampire movie?

[redhawk23]

I like "Dracula" the one with Gary Oldman.

That one is called "Brahm Stoker's Dracula" as if it is more accurate or something.

 

[Evil Twin]

I'll go with the original Nosferatu ('22) as well. That's a masterpiece of film making.

I also have a very soft spot for Brides of Dracula.

In my book is 3 in there best vampires/dracula movie...

The Lost Boys (1987)
Bram Stoker Dracula (1994)
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

I fell asleep at the cinema during that film, sure, I'd had a few drinks, but it was just a very sleep inducing movie, because it bored me.
I never read the novel, so i don't know, maybe it was more accurate to the novel than previous adaptations like nosferatu, bela lagosi's, the hammer flick...what have you. and y'know, fug it, why not title it that, it differentiates it from other movies that are called Dracula.
It's better than what they did with that Thing prequel, which was not to differentiate the title from the previous movie's title whatsoever.


I was actually surprised they cast the wee guy from Different Strokes as Dracula, he did quite well in the role i thought, quite the transformation.

I'm pretty sure you spell it Bram, you must be thinking about your extensive collection of classical music that you listen to all the time there redhawk.

Blade and From Duck 'Til Dawn

Blade and From Duck 'Til Dawn

haha, that would be a great version of that movie, halfway through the film they all turn into howard the ducks instead of vamps.
"Now Jacob, are you a faithless preacher... or a mean motherducking servant of god?"

[DACrowe]

1. Dracula (1931)
2. Nosferatu (1922 AND 1979 versions)
3. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
4. Interview with the Vampire (1994)
5. Let the Right One In/Let Me In (2008, 2010)--I honestly prefer LMI, but given its existence is solely from LTROI, I rank them evenly
6. From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
7. The Horror of Dracula (1958)
8. Fright Night (1985)

Those, for my money, are the best ones.

Blade is probably my favourite Vampire movie

A movie that hasn't been mentioned is Tony Scotts The Hunger was a good vampire movie.

The Foresaken was decent even though it was a knock off of Near Dark

Also, if you're interested, Carpenter's Vampires is based on the book Vampire$. The book of course was much better and they actually go to Europe to track down the main vampire in it.

Vampire$ was a pretty awesome book. So much better than the film.

 

[bullets]

For me it's Interview with the Vampire. I like the story of someone be turned and then struggling with it.

Also I liked everything that's been mentioned so far. Dracula (1931) will be released on blu ray later this year. I'm really looking forward to that.

I want to revise my picks for best vampire movie, and add to the two I said: "The Fearless Vampire Killers, or: Excuse Me But Your Teeth Are In My Neck!.

First of all I love it's set design, the snow outside looks really cozy and soft and you want to be there too, even tho it also looks like foam cartoon snow hehe. And then the castle itself looks humongous and inside looks like it's taken from some universal rule as to how a vampires castle shall look like.
Then the feeling, the slow slow buildup at first in every scene only makes the fairly slapstick humour even greater when it comes and hits you in the head!
Oh and Sharon Tate is gorgeous!

Best scene in the movie is when Alfred (Polanski) runs away from the main vampires son, sees an opening and a corridor, runs down the corridor which turns and turns and leads around... and comes back again right in front of the vampire he was running from

Spoiler

I absolutely adored the gorgeous sets & costumes. Anyway, I consider The Fearless Vampire Killers to be among one of Polanski's finest films, too bad it's also one of his most underrated films.

Here's my personal favorites (apart from The Fearless Vampire Killers)

-Bram Stoker's Dracula (although one flaw in this film was Reeves' cringe-worthy English accent)

-Cronos

-Let the Right One In
