twilight at the top of the list?????FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFff
what's your favorite?
mine would be blade.
oh, and if any of you know a way to get my hands on let the right one in, let me know. i really want to see that.
I liked "From Dusk Til Dawn"
I can't believe "Dead and Loving It!" isn't on the list!
I loved Love at First Bite when I was a kid.
Interview with the Vampire is the best movie, but From Dusk Til Dawn is the most fun.
Buffy - I still occasionally get out that DVD and watch it.

My favorite was the Underworld series.
Interview with the Vampire was good but not something I would watch again. Plus I read the book, which was really kind of boring. I wish I had seen the movie first.

Yes, but I didn't start watching the tv series until it had been out on DVD for several years.
Lost Boys is definitely the best one.

I really liked the book. I read it probably 10 years after seeing the movie. Maybe more.
People seem to forget this isnt a list of his/her favorite movies, this is a gross earnings list from the most to least. The one I like isnt in there, but i dont think it made alot of money either. Quirky but i still like it. Near Dark.

It's playing here and I want to see it soooooo baaaaad. The guy who directed Cloverfield is already remaking it.
I don't know that I have a favorite.
Near Dark. Lost Boys. Dracula's Daughter. Vampyr. 30 Days of Night.

i think chicago is the closest to me it's playing. there's got to be a screener torrented by now.
Of course twilight is number one. It's vampires for teenagers and teenagers are retards as a rule.
As for best Vampire movie on the list? I'd lean towards Blade II. An -actual- scary bad guy weighs in for a lot. Almost all of the other ones are just goth cockstroking - like a network executive trying to figure out what "young people think is 'cool'".
But Paul Rubins death scene in Buffy was the best death scene ever!

I completely agree with this.
Now I'm going to play the role of Beefy the film junkie and say that the original Nosferatu was my favorite.

That was PeeWee? I thought it was Lazlo from Real Genius. Who knew?
I did just learn that Lazlo was Uncle Rico in Napoleon Dynamite. Thank you, G4 channel, for this completely important information.

Jon Gries is awesome.
I AM SO HYPED ABOUT SEEING THIS MOVIE SOOON

Let the Right One In
probably only at your local arthouse theater.
Near Dark is the only good vampire movie around.
Blade though entertaining is more of a mainstream blockbuster comic book hero, than vampire-horror.

I had Thanksgiving dinner with Merrill Capps, the co-writer co-director co-star of this movie. He is married to one of Sara's friends from college.
I haven't seen the movie. He told me it was on Netflix, and I thought maybe one of you would like to try it out. He said it was cheesy/campy horror, although the reviews on IMDB are pretty bad.
He was also a backup dancer in "Ray".
(for anyone paying attention, I had dinner at my aunt and uncle's house in CA. Merrill and Julie (his wife) came and ate with us.)

Holy crap, dude! You rock!
I'M GOING TO PAY TO FULL PRICE THEREBY SUPPORTING THE FOREIGN-INDIE movie scene.
In actuality, I bet the Swedish govt helped fund a lot of it.
i liked it. it was good.
an american remake would be interesting.
Cassidy is making me read Twilight. Except I haven't started it yet. Also, she has way too many book borrowing rules. I think I'm going to try and find the most dog-eared beat-up copy of this book to give back to her.

No. Cassidy's an amazonian person who likes mini persons.
Molly is a mini person. And she lent her copy of Twilight to Kerry. And it is way dog-eared and beat-up. I think I'll make a switch.
Lost Boys
30 Days of Night
From Dusk Till Dawn
The one that scared me most as a kid was Salem's Lot-the original (not on the list above). I got totally freaked from the vamp kid scratching on his brother's window. I slept with a night light for at least 5 years after that.
Doesn't hold up when you watch it as an adult.

this movie ruled, not at all what I was expecting. The relationship was so touching, yet so ominous. how did you feel about the
removed genitalia. Apparently the book answers a lot of questions, but the movie is supposed to be a separate beast.
haven't watched it yet. thanks.

actually i think this would be the perfect movie in that mood
Yeah, it's not exactly sunny.
And Catchr, to answer your smallified question -[spoiler] I asked Carroll if he thought there was a scar where the genitals should be because I couldn't tell, it was so fast. I'm not sure WHAT to think of it.[/spoiler]
I loved the movie though, and the casting was great, except the old guy reminded me of Thurston Howell and it was distracting.

[spoiler] apparently according to the book, its actually a castrated boy. but it doesnt matter much because he/she has been a pre-pubescent vampire for centuries. of course this rule doesn't apply to the movie. we have no idea if they shriveled from atrophy, is a vampire thing or perhaps was some female castration. i mean she did say "I am not a boy" an awful lot but that was totally left up to interpretation. the scary part is how warm and touching it was. i could really see the appeal of hanging out with a 12 year old Swedish transgendered vampire.

if you don't feel like reading it here is a review comparing the two.
http://www.avclub.com/articles/let-the-right-one-in,25503/
The book looks interesting, but I am not compelled to read it. It just seems to wallow more in the lurid details and backstory. I'm happy with the minimalism and general theme being kept in the movie.
[spoiler] the main diff being it seems that Oskar, Ellie, her "dad" and all involved are more reprehensible and less likable in general [/spoiler]
