     I love vampire movies, my Top Ten favorites are

 

1.  Nadja -- an Awesome contemporary black and white film that retells the story of Dracula's daughter versus the modern Van Helsings.  A great film from one of David Lynch's production studios.

 

 

2.  Two Orphan Vampires -- One of Jean Rollin's later movies.  I think the two orphans are beautiful and incredible actresses.

 

 

 

 

3.  Razor Blade Smile -- The Tomb Raider of Vampire Movies

4.  Requiem for a Vampire -- One of Jean Rollin's 70's masterpieces starring the lovely Marie Pierre Castell.

 

5.  Fright Night -- Wonderful eighties send up of vampire movies starring Roddy McDowell in one of his best roles as Peter Vincent the Great Vampire Killer.  Also stars William Ragsdale, Christopher Sarandon, and Amanda Bearse Marcie from Married with Children.

 

6.  Jess Franco's Vampyros Lesbos -- Another great vampire film from the Seventies from Spanish Director Jess Franco starring the lovely Soledad Miranda

7.  Jess Franco's Dracula -- Jess Franco's version of Dracula closer to the book than the Coppola version starring Christopher Lee, Klaus Kinski, Maria Rohm, and Soledad Miranda.

 

8.  Martin -- George Romero's realistic take on the vampire story.  You never really know if Martin was a vampire or if his family led him to believe this horrible idea about himself.

 

9.  Salem's Lot -- the best horror miniseries ever based on the book by Stephen King

 

10.  Dracula 1979 version -- starring Frank Langela,  and Kate Nelligan.  I've always loved when Kate Nelligan turns bad in this movie.

I think you have more favorite vampire films than vampire films I have actually seen. And I watch a shitload of movies. I guess I just don't watch many vampire movies.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Thank you for not putting that abomination Toilet, sorry Twilight on your list.
The best and worst movies i've seen this year are both vampire films. I saw the toothless Twilight movie which was even worse than I had anticipated and just recently watched Let The Right One In, a Swedish vampire masterpiece.
I remember seeing Fright Night when it came out and everyone got a set of glow in the dark fangs with their tickets :)



Playing: Borderlands(great co-op,HUGE amount of content),Too Human(better late than never lol),Saints Row 3(Penetrator ftw),Minecraft 360,Harry Potter Lego. 

Patiently waiting for:  Tomb Raider, Borderlands 2

[rant] Twilight is a stupid fanfiction that claims to be a great novel. It was made by an awful woman who thinks she is a great author. Basically it's filled with teen romance between a stupid and shallow teenage girl and some sparklepires. There's shallow Cinderella type dreams of being with those sparklepires and wanting to be one of them just cause they're pretty. Loads of sexual tensions between (not) Bella and Ed(wart) but focuses on abstinence. How the hell did something horrible like this got published? =_= And also, for some reason tweens go crazy over it... BLEH!!!

Toilet (hehe thanks madman), or rather Twilight is an INSULT to REAL vampire books and movies. [/rant]

With that said, I can't say I've seen loads of good vampire movies... Someone would need to point me to some of them... I'd say that Dracula (1931) with Béla Lugosi is great... Not on a scary factor of course but rather as legend. I found it quite amusing and somewhat entertaining.

      I like Dracula the novel better than most of the films.  But, I really think Christopher Lee was the best cinematic Dracula.  I know people said it was Bela Lugosi, but he always looks small in those filmst o me personally and Christopher Lee always cuts an imposing figure (even in later films like The Lord of the Rings and as Count DuKu (sp) in the modern Star Wars movies. 

     I enjoy most of the Hammer-Lee Dracula films even the later ones like Satanic Rites of Dracula and Dracula 1972 that a lot of people try to pan. Probably the best one is either Horror of Dracula or Blood of Dracula.  I regret that I left Hammer's adaptation of Carmilla off my list, but I only had 10 spots.  Blood and Roses is also a great film.

The Langella Dracula is a sparklepire (never heard that term before actually) movie, but there's some real heat between Langella and Nelligan in that film in my opinion.  It was probably the first movie I ever saw of that type.  I watched it for the first time on The Movie Channel when I was quite young, and kind of like the seventies King Kong it has been getting more critical praise as it ages.

My favorite Vampire movie is Roman Polanski's great parody of the genre:

      Yes, that is a great movie, and Sharon Tate was delectable in that movie.  I have another vampire movie on dvd that seems to be a virtual sequel to that movie (it's more of a vampire comedy from the early seventies and Ferdy Mane whom was in the Fearless Vampire Killers is also in that film).  I don't recall the name of it right now though.
