IMO, Interview w/ the Vamp. and Bram Stoker's were a little slow and somewhat boring. When I think of vampires I like them to be fast, violent and merciless. It's for those reasons that I really, really liked Dracula 2000. I know that won't be the most popular pick with most people, but THAT is how I envision Dracula. He should be a brutal, cold blooded, ruthless motherfucker, not some sappy puss that tries to be romantic. He's based off of Vlad The Impaler. And FYI, Vlad The Impaler was not a romantic pussy. He slaughtered thousands of innocent Romanians during his rule and then stuck their heads and carcasses on stakes outside of his castle to show that he was not to be fucked with. (The Forest of the Impaled.) It is for this reason that any Dracula redition that portrays him as a passionate, conflicted man capable of loving is way off base. (In my mind, at least.) He needs to be brutal.

I also really liked From Dusk Til Dawn, Lost Boys, Fright Night, and Salem's Lot.

Abbot and Costello meet Frankenstein is pretty good too (Although it's not horror). It's got Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman and even and Invisible Man cameo.

Just saw Van Helsing today...I know it's not essentially an "ALL"
vampire movie, but it has made my list of at least "one of the better" vampire films.
The vampires are pretty much totally reinvented, a different species alltogether under human guise.
Frankensteins monster was kept pretty much as the original character was, although in a different situation (I liked the character, made a good addition to the film.)
As for the wolf-man, or wolf-men as it were...they're some pretty agile, big-ass werewolves, with one very kickass, psychotic pretty damn ANGRY wolfman "created" towards the end.
Interesting overall concept of how the wolfman and dracula mythologies have been tied into eachother for this movie also...
And arioch - The cgi level in this movie didn't spoil it at all IMO.

Nosferatu. Dracula 2000 was good but the second is one of the worst.

I want to make a Dracula horror movie where I blend Frakenstein and Dracula together. The story would start like Frakenstein but Dr. Frankenstein would also add some animal features as in fangs. He would also use some black magic to help the lightning bring him back to life. The creature then would be called Dracula, it couldn't die because it was already dead, and it needed blood to survive. That is just an idea.

I like all the ones you have named so far but there are some off beat ones I like really well. Pale Blood, To Dance with a Vampire, The Hunger, To Sleep with a Vampire, Dusk till dawn 3, Red Blooded American Girl, Blood and dounuts,

SIDE NOTE:
The Vampire movie I HATE most of all is Vampire's Kiss with N.Cage
