    I kind of liked "Near Dark". Hillbilly vampires was kind of a new take on the subject. Bill Paxton and Lance Henriksen were both awesome. That barroom scene was epic. I also liked "Interview With the Vampire". I saw that a few months ago on cable. I have to admit I'm not a Tom Cruise fan, but he put in a good performance as Lestat. Brad Pitt was great, and the young Kirsten Dunst was excellent as Claudia. Overall an excellent film.

    Not a fan of the old school vampire movies. Salems lot would have been my answer until I started watching free pay-per-view movies.
    Blade was good but underworld is the best movie.

    The original Salem's Lot is still my favorite. I was about 10 when it came out and it scared the hell outta me, I couldn't go near the windows at night for weeks. The window scene still gives me the creeps.

    Dracula's Daughter

    It's a lesbian movie in a very thin disguise.

    Good choice, the strange thing is it was originally a Made-for-TV movie

    It's rare to find a quality movie on such a shoe-sting budget

    Herzog's remake of Nosferatu is awesome.

    Coppola's Dracula is deeply flawed, but features some of the greatest physical effects work I've ever seen on film.

    Deeply flawed is right Keanu Reeves (The Matrix) and Winona Ryder (who I enjoyed in the Crucible) were seriously miscast and gave horrific performances

    frankly, it's what makes the movie so incredible. Watching the behind the scenes features and realising how much of the SFX were put together using silent film-era trick photography with models and projectors, how much craftsmanship and planning went into the train sequences alone (a style of filmmaking we'll probably never see again) and then someone heard Keanu Reeves do that accent, shrugged and went "it'll do".

    What the actual fuck?.
