Essential Dracula Movies 1922 - Nosferatu - (Max Schrek) 1931 - Dracula - (Bela Lugosi) 1958 - Dracula (aka Horror of Dracula) - (Christopher Lee) 1992 - Bram Stoker's Dracula - (Gary Oldman) This list is short, but it is the best of the best in Dracula movies. The first, Nosferatu, a German silent film from 1922, was based on Bram Stoker's novel but without the permission of the Stoker family, and all copies of the movie were to be destroyed. Luckily a few copies remained so that we can witness this incredible film. The 1931 version is the most famous, and it made Bela Lugosi a horror star, and over time, a horror icon. Hammer films revitalized horror films in the late 50s, and their Horror of Dracula was one of the best - many sequels followed with Christopher Lee as the Count and Peter Cushing as Van Helsing. Francis Ford Coppola's take of the Stoker novel is a fantastic and imaginitive film that no horror fan should miss. |
