Need Dracula movie suggestions

Watch all the C. Lee Hammer films in order.

The one with Louis Jourdan(TV movie) is very good.


Never make friends with the devil brother, his pitchfork will get you in the end.

Dracula (1931) with Bela Lugosi is one of the best. Many people also like the Spanish version titled "Drácula" from the same year. I'd definitely recommend both, though. I'd also recommend each of the Hammer Dracula sequels starting with The Brides of Dracula.

First stop is Count Dracula from 1970. Then look up a Mexican made movie called The Vampire and a Spanish made film called Count Dracula's Great Love. The latter is more of an exploitation movie so be forewarned that it has lots of naked boobs. There's another one from Spain called The Dracula Saga that is more of a parody but has a great Dracula, gobs of atmosphere, and again lots of boobs.

If you can look beyond Dracula as a character there were a string of lower budgeted vampire movies made during the 60s in Mexico that are pretty interesting. Titles to look up would be Bring Me the Vampire, World of Vampires, The Vampire's Coffin and Invasion of the Vampires.

A bunch were made in Spain that are worth looking at. Vampire's Night Orgy is a favorite as is Werewolf Shadow, Frankenstein's Bloody Terror and Night of the Werewolf. If you want a really wild ride there's an Italian vampire movie called The Devil's Wedding Night with a Countess Dracula, and another called Night of the Devils about a family of Wurdalaks.

If you like silent movies or have no problem with them, I suggest you watch Nosferatu, which is the first dracula adaptation, alhtough it's not an official one. The remake is also great. I also recomend Coppola's Dracula.

Basically, the other major film versions of Dracula are:
- 'Nosferatu - Eine Symphonie des Grauens' (1922), starring Max Schreck
- 'Dracula' (1931), starring Bela Lugosi
- 'Nosferatu - Phantom der Nacht' (1979), starring Klaus Kinski
- 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' (1992), starring Gary Oldman

All of these are well worth checking out, with the 1992 version (directed by Francis Ford Coppola of 'The Godfather' fame) being my personal favourite. There are also two more notable adaptations from the 1970s, starring Frank Langella and Jack Palance, respectively, but I haven't got around to watching either of them yet, so I can't speak as to their quality.
