I don't really have a favorite Dracula movie, but my favorite Dracula was Christopher Lee.   I love the old Hammer films  :smile:

I also liked Fright Night, The Lost Boys, and the mini series Salem's Lot.

Now Dark Shadows ... as I kid I used to come home from school every afternoon and faithfully watch the show.  :teddyr:

Frank Langella as Dracula ... ok.  But Sir Laurence Olivier was a hoot as Van Helsing!

I liked the story line for Gary Oldman's take on Dracula, but I couldn't stand his "accent". 

Hold onto your dreams ....

I like the Hammer films too!

I scanned some cool pics from old Famous Monster mags from the 60's and 70's-(I'm 47 myself-I collect this junk)-here's one you may enjoy-from thee back cover of FM 106-

Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
Interviewer-"Does Dracula ever end for you?
Lugosi-"No. Dracula-never ends."

I just wanted to mention the 1979 Nosferatu.
That movie is a piece of art.

Pretty close to a top 10 choice (and on some days I might well include it) for me personally was William Marshall's surprisingly moving performance as Blacula!

Watch it again, there is throat biting and blood drinking, but as I wrote in my second posting in this thread, it's not apparent except when Dr. Carmus is killed by the muscleman (who bites his throat after killing him).  But remember, vampirism is primarily about taking life from the living in order to live, undead, still.  Taking the BLOOD of the living is the premise of the film, and the "ghosts" state it to "Alan" at the end.  "Your blood means our life..."

Not 10 vampire movies, but 10 decades of of vampire movies.

My favorite vampire-like movies from each decade.

20s "Nosferatu"
30s "Dracula's Daughter" or the Spanish "Dracula"
40s "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein"
50s "Horror of Dracula"
60s "Black Sunday" or "The Vampire Killers"
70s "Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter" or "Vampire Circus"
80s "Fright Night" or "Lair of the White Worm"
90s "Bram Stoker's Dracula"
00s "Shadow of the Vampire"
Which brings us full circle back to "Nosferatu"

As for . . .
10s ?
