The original Nosferatu and Dracula with Lugosi, then the Hammer series with Lee and Cushing.
Fright Night was good too, because it was it's own movie. It didn't rely on a tie in to the classics.
I always found the newer re-makes with Cruise and Oldman as trying too hard and off the mark of the feeling trying to be conveyed. I want to be scared, not laugh or think "this guy would have been so much better in this role".
