Once that whiny, snotty, sulky little turd bella gets out of her window seat (even as a teenager, who sulks for a fucking YEAR??) and the direction gets passed to David whatsisname it enters the genre properly in my view. Before that it's little more than a living example of why people under a certain age don't get to vote.
@BRm2008 It really isnt, id place The Lost Boys at the top of the list closely followed by interview with a Vampire and Twilight is up there. Besides its corny love scenes its a very good vampire film, and im talking about all 3 movies, i love initial mystery around Edward, then Jacobs problems with the wolf pack in the sequel, then how the vampires and wolves team up in the 3rd. I think in 20 years from now the cynics will re watch it and realize it was very good
@BRm2008 Shouldnt be on a vampires movie list.............its a vampire movie dude, its not Schindlers List or The Departed, it is in the Vampire realm of film. As for it being a horror i never said it was, its a love story with a vampire twist and just so you know i also hate soppy teen orientated movies, but Twilight captivated me for some reason, I mean its far FAR better than all 3 Transformers movies yet those films dont get half the bad coments as Twilight
I hate Twilight, i prefer my vampires not to be moaping depressed tweens. Vampirisim is a curse, it turns the victim into a blood thristy evil something that seems to have been lost. Saying that my favourite vampire film is Blade 2, Del Toro created a visually stimulating film that involved one half bredd kicking the shit out of angry spawn.

Twilight is not a vampire film.
There are no vampires in the twilight movies and here's why: rule number1- vampires die in the sunlight. What we are shown in Twilight are not vampires, I dont know what they are supposed to be but one thing they are NOT is vampires. Grr!
In Bram Strokers Dracula (the book), Dracula could move about during the day; he could only feed at night and during the day kept away from bright sunlight (sensitive eyes). The "die in the sunlight" rule first appears in the Nosferatu movie.
Fair enough, but it is widely accepted that exposure to sunlight is fatal within the context of vampire mythology. It just seems to take all the pathos and meaning out of it if a guy can live forever without paying such a huge price as having to exist in the shadows
the emo vampires get all the headlines, vampires never went away, the bottom shelf of blockbuster has been awash with goth vamps for years, just none o them had a decent budget (decent anything). i prefer bela. LUGOSI!!!!!!!!
The emo comment is my fault i'm afraid, i''m "psychfursfan83", i meant that modern day popular vampire movies such Twilight and Cirque Du Freak are appealing to the Emo crowd for the reasons that Dr K read out from my post. It's such a pity, Lugosi is king in my book but unfortunately it's the Dawson's Creek version of vampire lore which we get in the mainstream vampire movies these days.
the curse of the werewolf is awesome (oliver reed)

twilght fails because it ignores sex completely. Let the right one in was perfect because it dosen't ignore sex and understands its origins

1) The Lost Boys
2) Interview With The Vampire
3) Fright Night
4) Let The Right One In (remake was every bit as good)

Shadow of the Vampire wasn't about sex as far as i remember, which admittedly isn't very far. Though the movie the movie was about kind of was.

How come Polanski's "Dance of the Vampires" hasn't been mentioned? It's one of the classics and a great film by its own virtue.
