I suppose this is somewhat on-topic, but it's still not properly Castlevania.
Anyway, what is/are your favourite Dracula movie(s)?
And/or, who is/are your favourite Dracula actor(s)?
I would probably say Nosferatu (Max Schreck, 1922), Dracula (Bela Lugosi, 1931), Count Dracula (Louis Jourdan, 1977), Bram Stoker's Dracula (Gary Oldman, 1992), and the Dracula 2000 trilogy (Gerard Butler, Stephen Billington, Rutger Hauer, 2000, 2003, 2005).

Bram Stokers is mine with Gary as my fav Drac. I like Drac 2000 as well Gerard was a good vampire but I dunno about him as Drac. I still think Rob Zombie would make a great Drac.

Bram Stoker's is the best, but I also love Nosferatu
-
Bram Stoker's.
Also: Dracula: Dead and Loving It lol... What can I say?
It's a guilty pleasure XD

Oh duh I almost forgot: Van Helsing =b
And even though she's not Dracula (but, suggested his wife): LXG :)
Does Blacula count too? (ok no pun intended)
I remembered some others too:
Nosferatu (silent)
Dracula Has Risen From The Grave
Wes Craven's Dracula.
That is all.

Yami No Teio Kyuketsui Dracula
I'm surprised it got very little mention on this board. It was made in 1981. I first saw in french around 1985 and again 2 years ago. The opening ceremony reminded me alot of the intro for the X68K CV.
For anyone interested, the entire film. (spanish only though)

Oh, and of course, let's not forget Rudolf Martin, who played Dracula in the Buffy episode "Buffy vs. Dracula" (which I haven't really seen) as well as the pretty good biographical film Dark Prince: The True Story of Dracula. It's not completely true but Martin plays Vlad well.

Horror of Dracula

Haven't seen many Dracula films, but I love Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror as well as Herzog's remake, Nosferatu the Vampyre/Phantom der Nacht. Also dig the original Dracula by Universal Pictures, as well as Coppola's movie. Shadow of the Vampire is also good.
Been meaning to see some of the Hammer films (haven't seen a single Hammer picture in my life!), but haven't gotten around to that yet.

The Hammer films are great. The first few Dracula films they did I think are their best work though. I'd recommend seeing those first. Chris Lee does a great job, I think he performs dracula the best out any actor that's played the role and he ain't even need to transform into a stinkin' bat.

Coppola.
The atmosphere throughout the entire movie is incredible, and Oldman's acting is just insane. I would have no idea that the guy wasn't authentically Romanian if I hadn't seen him in the Nolan Batman movies.

I really dig the Coppola version, but Nosferatu and the Bela Lugosi movies were great too. Gary Oldman is a smooth talker while Max Shreck and Lugosi are just straight monsters. It's cool how different actors can bring such a different vibe to the same character.
