Dracula (1979)
I just watched this film for the first time in quite a while, and it holds up very well. The color of the film actually reminded me of more modern cinematography styles (very dark sets that give a...

I find this film very entertaining and atmospheric, although Drac as romantic hero... I have never enjoyed the vampire´s burning in the sun so much. Burn, bastard, burn! I enjoy 1992 DRACULA, too....

1979 was a good year for vampires! DRACULA,SALEM'S LOT,NOSFERATU and LOVE AT FIRST BITE.

I don`t get the love for this thing. I didn`t like it at all in 1979. Tried to watch it again when it showed up on all the local channels back in the 80s. Nope, still didn`t like it. Too many good...

As always, some great points, Rick. The thought of the consecrated cemetery never crossed my mind (pun intended)! I'd argue that the Harker character here is stronger than Manners in the Lugosi...

It is better than any Hammer Dracula film, but Christopher Lee is way better than Langella as Dracula.

Mina's scene in 1979 Dracula and majority of Salem's Lot (in particular the children scratching at the glass and the "look at me, teacher" scene) both firmly cemented in my young mind that vampires...

This was for me, in my youthful ignorance, the beginning of Dracula as seen as a Romantic, somewhat sympathetic creature. Like Rick pointed out earlier, some good stuff, some not good stuff. A mixed...
