Horror of Dracula (1958). This classic revolves around the polarities of good and evil, played by Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. What is fantastic about these roles is that the goodness of Cushing's Van Helsing is almost obtunded by the sterility of his calculating reliance on emotionless science, whereas Lee's Dracula comes to embody passion and eroticism, offsetting his nefarious being. Everything about this flick screams excellence, staking this out to be one of the best Dracula movies ever. With splendid acting, exceptional direction, solid camera work, blended seamlessly with a wonderful adaption of Stoker's celebrated novel, the Horror of Dracula stands head and shoulders above the competition. Ashe.
