Bram Stoker's Dracula
Visually one of the coolest vampire movies in history, "Dracula" made Gary Oldman a badass long before he became Sirius Black. Released in 1992, it became the favorite of today's 30-something crowd. Everyone in Jr High bought plastic fangs and attended renaissance faires with gusto. Interesting bit of trivia: to get in the crying mood, Gary Oldman would gaze at pictures of his children before each take. All together now: awwww
Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles
The idea of growing old emotionally and mentally, yet always remaining 10 years old, while bunking with Brad Pitt would be enough to make me want to rip out my fangs and bleed to death. Released in 1994, this is one movie I actually enjoyed because Tom Cruise gets to play a real creep.....I mean even creepier than he is in real life.
Then again, this COULD be art imitating life....Cruise marries someone 20 years his junior, who will never tell him no and has lost half her life force since she's known him....wait, that's life imitating art.
Where was I? Oh, yes...anyway, I enjoy this film because you often forget that the characters are vampires. I mean the movie actually has a story line....Jesus, I need to watch this again.
Nosferatu
The Granddaddy of them all. The very FIRST vampire movie on the big screen. Directed by F.W. Murnau, this movie was made in Germany and starred the great Max Schreck as Count Orlok. Completely silent and shot in black & white, "Nosferatu" is held afloat completely by Schreck, with his unnaturally large eyes and subtle, creepy manner. While the film didn't win any awards, it did inspire another Oscar-worthy performance by another King of Creep: Willem Dafoe in "Shadow of the Vampire."
