FabSwingers.com forum: Top 3 Vampire Movies

Hi guys, Can you give me your Top 3 vampire movies, please?

Here is mine:

1. Bram Stoker's Dracula

2. Interview with the Vampire

3. From Dusk Till Dawn

For me, Bram Stoker's Dracula takes top spot because Francis Ford Coppola took a daring route while still being faithful to the classic original story. The Gothic opulence, the lashings of blood, the dark comedic elements, the eroticism, the deliberate absence of CGI & the romance sweep me away. But it's the soundtrack that gets me too: it's an additional character. It's one of the few movie soundtracks that I own – Wojciech Kilar is a genius. (Hey, let's leave Keanu Reeves' English accent out of this.)

Interview with the Vampire is second because it's supremely acted, lavish & poignant. Tom Cruise as Lestat plays, for me, his best role. Made even more impressive because of the pressure he was under: a lot of people were openly against his inclusion, including the author of the book, Anne Rice. He nailed it. Rice even apologized to him after seeing the finished version. Kirsten Dunst in her breakthrough role is unbelievable.

FDTD is just mad. I love the switcheroo – road movie into vampire flick. It's great for quotes: "hot pussy, cold pussy, horse pussy, dog pussy ... etc". Yes, it's brainless but sometimes that's exactly what you need.

So give me your top 3. Detailed reasons will be appreciated, but you can just list them if you like.

You are probably right but you have to give special mention to Nosforatu for what it did to asically invent the genre on film

I watched Bram Stokers Dracula again the other day- it's my top vampire movie too.

After that, Lost Boys (it's a cultural thing from my teenage years)

And third place is Van Helsing- it's a bit silly but I like it and it's quite clever too x

Bloody hell it's difficult to limit it to just three so here goes...

1) What we do in the shadows

2) 30 Days of Night

3) Fright Night (1985 & 2011

)

To be honest, I didn't know he was in it. How do you go from underworld to that? Did he get a drug addiction and twilight was the only thing he could get to clear his rehab bill?

Some friggin' excellent movies so far. Lost Boys, Let the Right One In, John Carpenter's Vampires, 30 Days of Night, & Fright Night were all possible number 3s for me.

I clearly need to watch Nosferatu (downloaded it not watched it yet), What We Do in the Shadows, Near Dark & Salem's Lot. I might've seen the last one as a kid though.

Let The Right One In - the original - is also amazing (per someone above).

The 1979 Salems Lot is the reason at 36 I still make sure the curtains are shut before I can sleep, that scene with the dead kid tapping on the window creeped me right out when I saw it at an age I shouldn't have!

* original fright night

For all those who said the 'original Salem's Lot' with David Soul. I would have added that too as number one as it scared my childhood. Particularly the window and grave scene.

However, I watched it again recently and trust me when I say it hasn't aged well. Some old horrors have do (Shining, Exorcist, Alien) but that hasn't. If you want to keep it scary, leave it your nostalgic memory.

More love for Near Dark over here. It's what the uninspired reviewers would call a "game changer." Up until that point nobody had moved past Bela Lugosi's benchmark, vampires wore opera cloaks and had comedy East European accents. Katherine Bigelow took a genre everyone thought they knew and turned it on it's head, we knew vampires movies as lavish, romantic, gothic, period movies but this was nihilistic, bleak, and sullen. Lance Henrikssen turned in a wonderfully creepy performance, Bigelow's vampires weren't charismatic, sympathetic, troubled enigmas, they were thoroughly unpleasant. monsters. Predators. Rednecks. Psychopaths. Without her dark, desolate, noir take on the genre there'd be no 30 Days of Night, no Dusk til Dawn, and certainly no John Carpenter's Vampires. (But don't hold that against her!)

I was also a big fan of Let Me In. It's one of Chloe Grace Moretz' better performances, and in the vein (no pun intended) of the original,you can also draw a straight line to the desolate nihilism of Bigelow's masterpiece, but in this case counterpointed by the endearing innocence of childhood. Unlike Near Dark, Eli IS a sympathetic character, desperately trying to kindle a spark of humanity inside herself against a backdrop of brutality and insinuated sexual appropriateness. It was my first introduction to the re-booted and re-invigorated Hammer Horror studio, and I'm still disappointed that they petered out quite rapidly.

Thirdly I'm going to go for What We Do In The Shadows. Absolutely explanation required. Just eat your basghetti....

Absolutely NO explanation I mean. That'll teach me to proof-read
