I think Lament, Aria, and CV3. They have stories that could be easier to translated into a movie.

I love CV 3, it is my favorite game, but I wouldn't pick that for the first one. I think it should start out with CV 1, Simon fighting death and moving on to Dracula. That would only last about 20 minutes then it would move on to Simon's Quest and him trying to remove the curse.

I think the first movie should focus on the most famous Belmont
What a horrible night to have a curse!

Castlevania II (allthough Simon needs a love interest to raise the stakes of the film)

maybe tweak it so it was a continuation of Haunted Castle instead.

(MOVIE version only, of course, not talking about the game canon)

Van Hellsing! O wait. No I'm pretty sure Van Hellsing satisfied my vampire hunting movie needs. Too much would have to be done to any of the stories to make them decent for a movie.

CASTLEVANIA : THE LEGEND OF MARIA RENARD

A Symphony of Night sidestory where the dainty teenage vampire hunter begins her own quest to find the missing Richter Belmont, only to discover that a demonic siren has baited him through a doorway that leads directly into the Hell that is the Uwe Boll universe.

Yeah, but they all follow the same pattern of ridiculously off-topic plots and bad acting, and Boll started it, so it works either way.

CV 3, probably. For two reasons:
1) You have potential for action and story. Four main characters with different motives fighting for the same goal. This creates the potential for having a layered story, which is much more interesting to follow than good guy fights bad guy.

2) Excusable liberties. There was not much of an actual storyline presented in the original NES game, save for the introduction and a few text boxes. With this in mind, the writer has a lot more legroom to present a story using the game as a basis. In effect, there's not much that a screenwriter could fuck up.

Only two problems:
-If the writer sucks, the liberties s/he does take could make the movie worse than it needs to be.
-If not enough fan service is in there, then fanboys going to theatres with a chekclist won't be pleased enough.
(Ok, Vampire Killer, check! Sypha, check! Pot roast...what the...WHERE'S THE FRIGGIN' POT ROAST!! UUURRRRGGGHHH WORST MOVIE EVARRRR!!! RAGEEE RAGGGEEEEE!!!11eleven)
