Favorite Vampire Movie...

[Troy]

Some pretty good ones in there. I also liked Copolla's Dracula too. Especially the scenes with Oldman and his wayward shadow in the castle. Great stuff.

But I chose the hight concept "Shadow of the Vampire" with Willy Dafoe as the creature and a drug addled John Malkovich as director FW Murnau trying to make "Nosferatu" with a real vampire cast as the vampire. It's extremely clever and a festival of intense over-acting. Dafoe was robbed for the supporting-actor Oscar that year.

This film went over many peoples heads, which is to be expected since it was semi-insider on the movie industry and more importantly the story behind NOSFERATU, F.W. Murnau, and the controversy over Max Schrek. On a side note, this film is in desperate need of a new transfer as the one from the 2000 Universal release on DVD is horrid. Dark, blotchy, and a mess! I hope that the HD formats will release this soon.
