Favorite Christopher Lee Dracula film.

[RCMerchant]

So, what's yer favorite Lee Dracula movie? Mine is TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA (1970).

[Allhallowsday]

The first one.  They're all at best a bit implausible.

love me some AD 1972

I know it's crap, but still...

And there was me thinking I'd be the only one to vote for that one.

Of course. They're Dracula movies! 
I almost picked HORROR OF DRACULA, but nostalgia took over.
As far as AD 1972, of the Hammer series, only the SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA is worse, IMHO.

Couldn't agree more; at a glance DRACULA AD 1972 looks groovy.  It's boring. 

The first film has some mighty BIG plot holes, and a couple of cheats.  BUT it is CHRISTOPHER LEE as Dracula!!!

Didn't he also get struck by lightning for good measure? I seem to remember that...

I have to vote for Dracula Has Risen from the Grave. ... because.. it lives up to the title.   

[RCMerchant]

So far DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE is in the lead.
It's a good movie!  
I dunno. I enjoy watching Lee do his monotone Dracula in all his pre- AD 72 stuff. Do't get me wrong. But the mod hippie s**t got on my nerves fast, and SATANIC was just James Bond nonsense. Which is why I enjoy SCARS OF DRACULA (1970). Because he actually TALKS.
But TASTE THE BLOOD is so perverse...and it has the scene where Ralph Bates turns into Lee, with the glowing red eyes, and the screen doing an animated break up-wow.
I never seen Franco's version. I reckon I'll have to.

I haven't seen any of the Hammer movies. I know, I deserve to die.

To be honest, I never actually cared for the character of Dracula; vampires in general seem boring to me. But, I am planning in watching these movies some day because they have Christopher Lee, a man I always admired and find extremely interesting.
I could feel nothing but respect for a guy who kept playing power metal at the age of 93. He was the only person in the whole Lord of the Rings crew that actually met Tolkien FFS! And singed with Rhapsody, my favorite band of all time! He was a secret agent! A secret agent!

What a guy.

Watch them. Wonderful films. Try some of his other pre-LORD OF THE RINGS stuff too, while your at it.
