Oh, I've finished watching Nosferatu at that day that we mentioned it, its pretty cool for it time. Someone tried to remake it with sucess? Lack of sound apart of music ever makes me laugh (I know that old movies are like that).

It was remade as Nosferatu the Vampyre in 1979, but I've never seen it because there was allegedly some pretty heinous animal cruelty in the making of it. There's also Shadow Of the Vampire which as some others already mentioned is a fictionalized imagining of the making of Nosferatu, asking the question "What if Max Schreck really had been a vampire?"

I'm having a hard time narrowing down my favorite vampire films, but I do know Dracula: Dead and Loving It is my favorite comedy.

Oh I missed "Dracula: Dead and loving it" in my list!
It's one of the best comedies, so funny!
I love Mel Brooks comedies!

In no particular order:
Let the Right One In (The remake Let Me In was good too)
John Carpenter's Vampires
Fright Night (original)
Fright Night 2
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Till Dusk till Dawn
Forever Knight
The Lost Boys
Blade 1
30 Days of Night
Dracula 2000
Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter
Near Dark
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (The one with Pee Wee in it..lol)

Forever Knight

Oh, there was a movie? I didn't know that. Always thought it was purely a TV show.

"Mina... you are in the closet."

Also: that overly gory stake-the-vampire scene.

I just rewatched Fright Night and man, maybe it should have been higher on my list. I love love love Roddy McDowall in this. He takes a character most actors would just play as a bumbling caricature and gives him a sad but relatable and believable ethos. The characters are (mostly) believable and the series of events seems pretty organic, making it easier for you to imagine what it would actually be like in such a situation. I think that's the main reason Fright Night is one of the few if not the only vampire movie to actually scare me. Great script and great performances coupled with memorable special effects elevate what could easily have been a quick, cheap and disposable movie.

Fright Night 2

Part of me wants to see this, but another part of me says that judging from the trailer it takes a "The Howling II Stirba: Werewolf Bitch" turn in budget and plot.

PS - If you're in the US you can watch the original Fright Night free on crackle until next month.

It was a Tv Show but I added it anyways. Pretty good.

There was a TV movie made a few years before the show. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097969/

Completely funny!

I'm a huge fun of anything that has to do with Vampires.

My favorite Vampire movie is Bram Stoker's Dracula. Gary Oldman is amazing and Winona Ryder looks really beautiful in the film.

I also like the Underworld movies.

I used to like the Buffy movie but after seeing the TV show I now find it to be boring and an insult to Joss Whedon.

Try watching Angel, a series that originated from a Buffy's character called Angel, its really good.

Oohh... to be like her and get lost in a mystic and gothic landscape with wolves and castles and bushes...
Dreams, dreams...

Well it came first and Whedon wrote it so you don't need to see it as an insult to him. He was just going for something less serious with the movie. I've never been able to get into the franchise because the TV show always seemed to take itself too seriously for me.
