Bullshit. Bela OWNED Dracula.
He was even buried in his cape. Christopher Lee was good and all, but Bela was better IMO.

Gerard Butler did my favorite Dracula performance.

Lugosi brought a special energy to his portrayal, and I have to give props to his mad skillz.............word.

The first 3 Hammer Dracula movies were certainly excellent, however I do feel that later films in the series also have a lot to offer.

Personally, I like Scars of Dracula a lot, however I know this is not necessarily a very popular opinion. Sure, it's not perfect, and Cushing is missed in any Hammer Dracula film; however it does portray the Count as being more cruel than most of the previous movies in the series.

And as for Dracula AD 1972, I can't stay mad at any movie with "Alligator Man" in it. :D

I think BBC's 1977 production of Count Dracula was excellent. Sure, it does look like a BBC production as opposed to a Hollywood film, but it was a very faithful retelling of Bram Stoker's novel, and it had some great moments including Lucy in the tomb, Harker being met by the Count's coach, and several others. I saw this when I was quite young and haven't had the opportunity to see it again, but I have always remembered it very fondly.

Naturally, Dracula (1931) and Nosferatu (both versions) are excellent films and classics of cinema in general, as well as horror cinema.

i think the vampire legend is the most bloated, overdone, uninteresting line of horror possible.

there is no point of making any more until someone comes up with a fresh idea (i.e. NEVER)

nosferatu
lugosis dracula
langellas dracula
blade.

thats all we'lll ever need.

Uh................................................ .....................you're wrong.

i thought i was wrong about something .. but it turns out i was mistaken :D

Oh, a wise guy, huh?

No Bela Lugosi = Not as Good
