What is the 'definitive' vampire movie?

The Lost Boys is the first vampire movies I ever saw and it's been my favorite since. I love everything about it but understand that many people who like vampire movies don't like it. It's far from being the 'definitive' vampire movie but then again, what is? Maybe Interview With The Vampire would be the closest? I'm not much of a fan of it but my friend is and swears that it's the best and most definitive vampire movie out there.

Other vampire movies I really like are; The Forsaken, Near Dark and John Carpenter's Vampires. None of which are great movies by any means but enjoyable and all offering something different.

I didn't care at all for Let Me In (doubt I'd care any more for the original) and that's the only vampire movie I can even think of from the last 10-15 years. I really wanted to like True Blood and the same friend who loves IWTV begged me to watch True Blood for ages. I finally got around to watching it. The first episode had some promise but overall I didn't care for any of the characters or the style at all. I persisted and watched 2 more episodes but there was too little in the way of vampires and far too much in the way of people getting head for my taste. I wanted vampires. Not soft-core porn. So the search continues.

What would be your ideal vampire movie?

Personally, I want to see something similar to Near Dark. I'm not terribly fussed about all the ancient vampire mythology, or movies set way in the past. I like the modern setting and the contrast of ancient vampires which Near Dark did really well for the most part. I especially love the desert setting from Near Dark, The Forsaken and JC's Vampires. The concept of vampire hunters is kind of cool and can work sometimes but I like it when the main characters aren't aware of their existence and have to come to terms with what they are and how to kill them/survive them.
