Luis40 suggested that Mr. Bela Lugosi and Sir Christopher Lee be excused from this poll.You may well ask, why.Because they throw a long shadow across the decades that other actors can't compete...

I really like Oldman as an actor but I feel he was horribly miscast as Dracula. It didn't hurt that Coppola's film fell into that romantic black hole that renders the film pointless. If they wanted to...

I had to vote for Naschy's take on Dracula. He made for a sympathetic vampire and even shed a tear. PLUS, he had a very nice harem of women as well.

Jago Turner wrote: Dracula isn't a wounded romantic. He's a demon from Hell... Spot on, Jago! I totally agree and no GQ romantic Drac for me. I want my Dracula a menacingly ruthless blood fiend.

I don't like what Oldman did there either. Too much scenery-chewing too... I think he's a good actor, actually, but he goes too far sometimes. His turn in Leon is another example, even though he's...

My problem is I just can't take BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA (1992) seriously. The film is unintentionally funny to me, from that pompous Oldman/Drac gray hairstyle at the beginning to him walking the...

The Coppola film also has the worst parade of bad accents of any film I've ever seen. Tom Waits, in particular, really gives Dick Van Dyke a run for his money.

None of the chiefly justified marks against Coppola's DRACULA affected me much. This was one of the few films in my adult life that actually thrilled me as I sat watching it in a theater. I'm very...

I don't want to completely bash FFC Dracula but the casting was way off in spots. Friggin' Keanu Reeves was atrocious as Harker. Makes my blood boil. A surfer dude Harker? Okay Coppola pass me that...

Everybody in the cast was WRONG except Monica Bellucci, the other two vampire wives, and Richard E. Grant. Wynona Ryder's company initiated Bram Stoker's Dracula, I understand, and she exercised some...

Interesting stuff, Richard and explains a lot as well. Amazing that a director as powerful as Coppola would allow himself to be manipulated to such a degree with the casting and such. The power of the...

It's nice to think that Coppola might not be to blame (and I feel bad talking as if we all accept this is a terrible film when some clearly loved it). The script was not the best. And the cast were...

I beg to differ, Jago.Bram Stoker's Dracula shows Francis Ford Coppola at the top of his game as a visual stylist and a visual story teller. But some things on certain projects under certain...

I went with Jack Palance, believe it or not -- because his Dracula managed to show a little sympathy and ferocity, all the while remaining villainous with just a hint that he was once something normal...

Oh - and I despise the Coppola film. And Oldman's version of Dracula.

A quality I must admit to Coppola's Dracula, this is a great sleeping pill. I saw it in a theater during its original release, and felt peacefully asleep during the three quarters of the film,...
