Granted Keanu was awful in Dracula but I almost felt Garry Oldman's performance made up for it... almost.AcacianLeaves said:Thirst has not been mentioned here...interesting.fullbleed said:Same, not really a great list.

I can say no more. Just go watch it.
Nosferatu!
Coppola Dracula is ruined by one of the worst acting performances of all time (Keanu). 30 Days of Night is a fun gore-fest but not what I would call 'best'. I'm surprised at how much love there is here for Let the Right One In, but that is a great movie. Lost Boys is too hilariously 80s for me to consider as a favorite.
I also didn't expect many people to seriously consider Nosferatu as their favorite. Granted its good, and most vampire Cinema and many vampire tropes are drawn from it - but is a silent movie almost 100 years old really the best, or is it just a convenient choice for film snobs?
I need to watch it again.
I find that one hard to get through mostly because Klaus Kinski is a genuinely creepy guy. I mean like "goes to elementary schools to pick up girls" creepy. It's not bad it just seemed kind of... unnecessary.fullbleed said:Granted Keanu was awful in Dracula but I almost felt Garry Oldman's performance made up for it... almost.AcacianLeaves said:Thirst has not been mentioned here...interesting.fullbleed said:Same, not really a great list.

And I know I'll probably sound like a heathen for sugesting this but... what about the remake of Nosferatu? Is was by Werner Herzog and did have Klaus Kinski, and I think is ver underrated.
You and almost 300 other people, haha.Wordslinger said:30 Days of Night was freaking great.
Also, the fact that you included Twilight makes me want to hunt you down and hurt you. Badly.
Hmm...if that was supposed to be an insult then may I please remind you that being gay even just slightly isn't a big deal anymore, and yes while he was shirtless most of the time it doesn't mean I was rubbing myself raw to him. I liked it because it was a bit quirky and funny to watch because of some of those flaws...also I liked the sound track.AcacianLeaves said:Easy Street said:The Queen of the Damned. Tom Cruise RUINED The Interview with the Vampire.This is a joke, right? You're joking. I laughed a little bit. Queen of the Damned? I'm actually curious. Explain to me what makes Queen of the Damned anything but a hilariously bad cash-in with awful acting, silly effects, and an utter disrespect for the source material?ZydrateDealer said:Queen of the Damned is the best one I've seen...granted I haven't seen a great deal but that's the best one I've seen...that or the lost boys.
On a side-note, how gay are you? The whole movie was a love letter to a shirtless Stuart Towsend.
It wasn't meant as an insult, more an observation. Don't get me wrong I don't mind homo-eroticism in vampire movies (Interview With the Vampire was incredibly homo-erotic), but Queen of the Damned is on a different level entirely. Rather than being a sexually charged drama involving mostly male characters, it was just 90 minutes of a shirtless Stuart Townsend making bedroom eyes at the camera. He was the Edward Cullen of the previous decade, a vacant mindless romp through a brainless movie for the purpose of female and gay masturbatory fantasies. Personally I think Twilight is much more fun to watch for its flaws than Queen of the Damned. I mean the Rifftrax for Twilight is some of the funniest shit I've ever heard in my life.ZydrateDealer said:Hmm...if that was supposed to be an insult then may I please remind you that being gay even just slightly isn't a big deal anymore, and yes while he was shirtless most of the time it doesn't mean I was rubbing myself raw to him.

Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean it should be condemed because there's a homo-erotic undertone...which actually did weird me the fuck out; Towsend getting his neck sucked was sheer unrelenting homo-erotic terror for me...that said I like the rest of the film also the lost boys is a good one if very cliched. My final word ALL vampire movies suck!! (no pun intended)
