Good examples of a Vampire film, and a Dracula film. Gary Oldman plays such sinister roles, and played a good Dracula, IMO. I loved the sets/locations in IWAV, but Cruise and Pitt are not as convincing in their Vampire roles for my taste. Kirsten Dunst played a great part, kids in horror movies always creep me out.

interview was too caught up in being 'pretty'
pretty brad pitt .. pounting at the camera .. a waste of his talents.
And Tom Cruise .. couldnt talk with fangs in his mouth.
I thought it was a bloated mess .. i couldnt get involved because all of the characters were unlikable.

Coppolas Dracula was more true to the book but the casting of Keanu and Winona was a huge mistake.
Oldman was a decent dracula but I'll never understand the people who say he was a sexy dracula .. he looked like a scruffy weed. I was really turned off by this film ... Hopkins playing another oddball ... fresh from playing lector in 'Lambs.

i dont know ... langellas dracula was so simple and to the point.

maybe you just always like your first one the best ...

I dunno.....The first Dracula movie I saw was the original with Bela Lugosi....To me he is Dracula.....So suave.....

Never saw IWAV........Didn't appeal to me for some reason...

Bram Stoker's was good......I liked it, but still not all it was cracked up to be.......

I somewhat liked Bram Stokers...
A little... hard to believe in some places, but I guess that's because it's old right? Heh...

I thought Lugosi’s role was great, so many actors who have played the role since have adopted his thick accent in their performance, what a tribute. The film itself was more of a play made into a film IMHO.

Dracula and Vampires
 
Christopher Lee is my all time favorite Dracula. The Hammer films beat the snot out of the others (Not including "The Satanic Rites of Dracula" which was kinda lame). I really liked the Jack Palance version also.

Even though Dracula is a Vampire, I don't lump Dracula and Vampire movies together. I like films like Vampires and The Forsaken to, maybe it is easier if you seperate Dracula from the rest.

For all of the Vampire/Dracula fans out there, check out a new book called "The Vampire Book - The Encyclopedia of the Undead - second edition" It has 920 pages of all things Vampire related...Cool as hell!

I like everything Vampire and Dracula related. I even liked "Shadow of the Vampire" with Willem Defoe. Guess its because I liked the Original Silent Version of Nosferatu.

We just had a discussion on another thread about Dracula and Vampire movies all thrown in together. I agree there is a difference, although they are all technically vampires. Palance played a great Count in his 1973? Made for TV version, Coppala took a lot of inspiration from this movie.
