Favorite Vampire Movie...

Good call on LOST BOYS, there just wasn't enough room in the post and I thought NEAR DARK was a bit better, SALEM'S LOT also missed the list.

I pulled Near Dark and Lost Boys off the shelf this weekend. I have to agree with you. I hadn't watched either in a long time. Near Dark didn't seem as dated or as cheesy as Lost Boys. My main issue with Near Dark before sitting down and watching it again was whether the Tangerine Dream soundtrack was going to be obviously 80's and dated. It seemed that way in only one scene. The soundtrack nicely juxtaposed (or maybe complimented?) the desolate "western" setting. I enjoy watching Bill Paxton when he's given free reigns to go a little nuts.

Exactly and this is one of the marks you might say of a truly great film, it's ability to date itself well even after many years, this is what makes movies classics.

I wish I could understand your typing since every other word is misspelled. In any event I don't think many people are going to agree with you that BLOODRAYNE is the best vampire film of all time, but maybe it is for you....yeah. Before claiming that though have you see the other films on the poll? Besides this is not a poll of the 'best' or 'greatest' as I mentioned, it's about your favorite, so if this is your favorite than so be it.

Anyone familiar with "The Breed" starring Adrian Paul and Bokeem Woodbine?!
Very obscure, but interesting movie. And Bai Ling looks good! Definitely one to check out!

As a film buff for most of my almost 63 years on this planet, and a tremendous fan of horror movies, my vote goes to one noticeably absent from the list: Hammer Film's 1958 "Horror of Dracula." It completely revolutionized the vampire movie genre, and established Christopher Lee as the best-ever Dracula. It actually still holds up quite well today, but will likely disappoint slasher film fans.
