Oh gosh this is hard. The first vampire movie I saw was when I was 11 which was Lost Boys at the time it was my favorite. Boy if this doesn't give away my age. :lol: I had posters everywhere. Since then I really like Underworld and now Twilight has taken the top. Although I will say they all are different. Twilight for me focused on a relationship and true love very deeply that is why I choose this to be my favorite.

Thanks for the new topic Bac

Loved vampires all my life since i was a kid watching Dracula (30's and many versions), your speaking with a vampire fan here.

Here are my faves:
Dracula (1931).
Let The Right One In.
Fright Night.
Nosferatu (1922 Silent and 1979 remake).
From Dusk Till Dawn.
Salem's Lot (1979, 2004 version wasn't too bad).
Horror of Dracula.
The Lost Boys.
Near Dark.
Blade 1 & 2. (3rd was ok)
Taste The Blood of Dracula.
Dracula A.D. 1972.
Interview with the Vampire.
The Monster Squad.
Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust.
Vamp. (Excellent underrated 1986 vampire horror comedy with Grace Jones the famed 70's and 80's singer, saw it when i was 5 on video back in 1987 and saw it again back in 1996 when i was 14 as it became one of my favorite vampire movies)
The Hunger. (David Bowie does a great performance and Susan Surandon and Catherine Devuene together as a bisexual vampiric couple)
Lifeforce. (Underrated 1985 Tobe Hooper Sci-fi take on the vampire myth about nude humanoid alien vampires that are the anchestors to Earth's vampire myths and legends from along time ago when they visited Earth, it stars Patrick Stewart as it's a very sexy and violent vampire and zombie flick that has alien invasion themes to it, loved it since i was a teenager in the 90's and the lead female vampire alien is a babe).
Vampire's Kiss. (Realistic Nicolas Cage 1989 cult vampire comedy and the only movie where he chews on a cockroach since vampires eat them)
Dracula Has Risen from The Grave.
Dracula Prince of Darkness.
30 Days of Night.
Cronos. (Mexican/Spanish made arthouse horror movie from Guillermo Del Toro of Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth fame, stars Ron Perlman).
The Omega Man.
I Am Legend.
Rabid. (David Cronenberg made 1977 Canadian Sci-fi horror movie about a woman who gets an operation that gives her an organism under her arms as she can seduce men and drain their blood with it as it's a biological vampire flick)
Def By Temptation. (A quality 1990 made cult Troma blackploitation hip-hop vampire flick with Samuel L Jackson in one of his earliest starring roles)
Thirst. (One of Asia's finest vampire movies and from the director of Oldboy)
Underworld.
George A. Romero's Martin.
The Forsaken.
The Night Flier.
John Carpenter's Vampires.
Twilight.
Shadow of the Vampire.
Daybreakers. (Damned shame it bombed at the box-office)

What do you think? cool eh.

From Dusk Till Dawn is wildly over the top--as you'd expect from Rodriguez and Tarantino--but it's also full of energy and great fun to watch. Plus you get Juliette Lewis back when she still seemed likely to become a big star.

Yes From Dusk rocks, loved it since i was 14.

Have you seen Vamp (1986)? one of my favorites, it stars legendary 70's and 80's music star Grace Jones, Deedee Pfeifer (Michelle's cute as hell sister) and Geedee Wanatanabe from "E.R" and "Sixteen Candles". It's about three college guys who go out from the small town to the big city to a seedy part where they must bring back a stripper for their frat party, they discover a kinky strip joint/bar that is open from dusk till dawn and owned by vampires.

Influenced Tarantino's From Dusk Till Dawn and one of his favorite movies, it's got gory violence with dark comedy thrown into it. Miss Jones does a superb performance as the silent but deadly Egyptian stripper leader Katrina and one of her songs shows up in the movie during her striptease sequence. It's tons of fun and a must see for fans of Twilight and vampire movies.
