What are your top five vampire films?

[Danny Creasy]

Mine are:

5. Interview With a Vampire
4. The old Salem's Lot
3. The new Salem's Lot
2. Let Me In
1. 30 Days of Night

I can watch any of them, every so often, and always get a kick.

Oops! Admin, please move to FILM forum. Sorry.

I would struggle with top 5 as horrors not my favorite genre.

I think Interview with a Vampire is great but my favorite Bloodsucker fest has to be The Lost Boys.

Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter is always worth a viewing

 

[Amelia Faulkner]

Vampire in Brooklyn is superb!

Let the Right one in is better than that shoddy American remake.

Other than that I would probably put

Near Dark
Lost Boys
Blade
From Dusk till Dawn

 

[SilentRoamer]

Forgot about Blade and Disk Till Dawn, literally a gory sex fest vampire romp with Salma Hayek. What's not to like!

Should add that to my top 5 list, ok so I have:

The Lost Boys
Blade
Dusk Till Dawn
Interview with a Vampire

Just missing that last sweet spot.

 

[HanaBi]

Not my favourite genre either, and am very much old school too (with the exception of one):-

Nosferatu (1923)
Blade (1998)
Dracula (1958)
Nosferatu: the Vampyre (1979)
Dracula (1932)

Vampire in Brooklyn

 

[Danny Creasy]

For a campy vampire comedy, try What We Do in the Shadows. You'll either love it or hate it.

 

[Starbeast]

Great ones mentioned already, so I'll name a few of my favorites, that aren't listed. (too many for top 5 - no order)


Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1972)

Grave of the Vampire (1972)

Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970)

Love at First Bite (1979)

Track of the Vampire (a.k.a. Blood Bath - 1966)

 

[biodroid]

Blade
Underworld
Fright Night
Interview with the Vampire
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (movie)

 

[SilentRoamer]

Vampire in Brooklyn

Whilst I do like the film, it doesn't make my top 5 so I'm still waiting to see a film mentioned that can take the last sweet spot.

 

[Randy M.]

Since we're talking favorites, in order by release date,

Nosferatu (1922)
Dracula's Daughter (1936)
Horror of Dracula (1958)
Fright Night (1985)
Shadow of the Vampire (2000)


Honorable mention to The Night Stalker (1972).

There are others I've liked, but these are the ones I have enjoyed watching more than once.

I forgot about Night Stalker. I had not seen that TV movie in years and ordered it off Amazon in DVD last year. It was very different. Unfortunately, the other episodes paled in comparison to the pilot.

 

[Danny Creasy]

Not about vampires, but another good TV movie from the 70s is Gargoyles.

 

[Droflet]

Nosferatu
Interview With the Vampire
Let Me In
From Dusk to Dawn
The Lost Boys

 

[J Riff]

Dracula
Blacula
Snackula (unreleased)
Hackula (about a vampire author)
Feedbackula (Vampire metal guitarist)

 

[Foxbat]

1)Dracula (1932 but with the Philip Glass score)
2&3)Nosferatu (both F.W. Murnau's and Werner Herzog's remake)
4) Guilermo del Toro's Cronos (because, ultimately, it is a vampire movie...just a bit different)
5) Shadow Of The Vampire
