While it's not a movie but a mini series, Ultraviolet is completely awesome. And Cronos is cool, too.

[Triggerfish]

Which is the one that John Bon Jovi starred in? I thought that was a great little vampire flick.

[Triggerfish]

Ah, the Bon Jovi vampire flick is "Los Meurtos" (excuse the spelling, my spanish ain't that good). The movie is in English, but the title is Spanish (means "The Dead" in English).

Looks like it was produced for about $99, but I really liked it. Bon Jovi is pretty good as a vampire hunter with great weaponry, and there is a really wicked head vampress. Clergymen getting slaughtered, a town getting de-populated due to vampire infestation, all kinds of great stuff.

I thought it was much better than the John Carpenter flick.

First of all, "Lost Boys" sucked. Always has. Always will. It's an inarguable fact.
That said:

Fright Night
Near Dark
Dracula (31)
Son of Dracula (Although Lon Chaney Jr. makes for a doughy looking vampire, this is still a clever movie. It's got an unusually downbeat ending for a 1940's Universal Monster movie. Worth looking for.)
Martin
Dracula (79)
Salem's Lot
Nosferatu
Blacula
Vamp
That's right. I said Vamp. It's a guilty pleasure, so sue me. Lost Boys still sucks.

[Alan "Nordling" Cerny]

MARTIN's fucking awesome. Scary, and gory, and even a little romantic. Where the hell's that DVD?

Other than MARTIN, I have so many favorite vampire movies that it's hard to make a list. I really dig FRIGHT NIGHT a lot though.

no, afraid it is not inarguable. It is you opinion. I like it, I think it is good fun and therefore I don't think it sucks, so there is my argument, making it an arguable statement.

I also like Vampire's Kiss for its camp value

No.
You're wrong.
It's an irrefutable fact.
Lost Boys sucks.

Well, there's this (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/6305808090/ref=ase_imdb-adbox/104-7452826-8238300?v=glance&s=dvd), but it looks like it's OOP.

We in R2 have one, but it's not great on extras.

[Parker]

Nosferatu (Herzog)
Nosferatu (Murnau)
Fearless Vampire Killers
From Dusk 'Till Dawn
Martin
The Hunger
Near Dark
Blade
Bram Stokers Dracula

I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned the Herzog version. It's amazing.

hmmm.

Lost Boys won the Saturn Award for best Horror Film of 1988 from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films.

And I like it.

That refutes the statement that is is an irrefutable fact that it sucks.

2. Tales From the Crypt: Bordello of Blood
3. Dracula: Dead and Loving It

[Dax]

I liked the take on vampirism in that Jude Law movie The Wisdom of Crocodiles. It got released with a different, less interesting name in the states. It's not a perfect film by any means, but I found it interesting.

[DerekT]

How can none of you mention the classic film "Embrace of the Vampire" are you all fools!!!!

[Dax]

Or how about "To Sleep With a Vampire", starring the delectable Charlie Spradling?

[Countess Anna loves Aussie Dracula]

~Bumped to annoy Rath:D ~

Me likey goth boys, me likey goth boys....

[Rath/Brendan]

I started the fucking thread, why would I be annoyed at the bumpage?

But since you insist, I'm actually writing a paper called "The Good, The Bad, and the Bloodsucking: The Vampire Western" for my class on vampire film.

Actually, I think you'd be annoyed at the new Drackt screencap I found. Hee hee.

And are you going to mention "Billy the Kid Vs. Dracula"?

[FarinaMystica]

First time posting on this board..though I've been in
moderation que and have read up on many threads,
I feel like I know you all. I'm not sure if that's a good
thing or not.

Movies:

Nosferatu (Klaus Kinski/Isabelle Adjani ruled
despite the solid wall of cheddar)
The Hunger
Bram Stoker's Dracula (another wall of cheddar)
Andy Warhol's Dracula (UDO!!)


That's all, folks.

[Straxboy - An Anthony Hickox Film]

Not my top ten but some others that are wicked worthy of a quick peek:

The Addiction

The Miles O'Keefe segment of Waxwork is gold.

Graveyard Shift - the Canadian picture, not the Stephen King rat-plague pic

I inexplicably find that the first Subspecies picture has some gloopy amusement.

Vampire's Kiss - modern day Martin married to After Hours-style lunacy

Alan (Empire Records) Moyle's Red Blooded American Girl has a neat AIDS-subtext sci-fi thingy-doo-dar going on under the blood harvesting.

Sundown: A Vampire In Retreat is hella fun in a Western style...

[Knobbled]

Shadow of the Vampire (it counts)
Interview with the Vampire (I'd have a witty defense here, but there's none)
Once Bitten - Jim Carrey and Lauren Hutton? How can you lose?
Vampirella - Talisa Soto anyone?
Fright Night
Salem's Lot
Blade
John Carpenter's Vampires
From Dusk Til' Dawn


and last - Kristy Swanson as the original Buffy - in the movie that ALMOST revived Paul Reubens's career (the sicko)
