Recommendations on Dracula Films?

[Lustful Butchery]

My friend has been doing alot of research of him lately, he just loves studying the history on this legendary figure, but he came to me awhile ago if I know any good films that explains his origins or anything that has to do with him. Now I know they're are a crapload of them, so I come to you guys, what would you recommend?

Bela Lugosi, 1931.

Original and IMO still the best.

^ that one and

Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Dracula: Dead and Loving it

From Dusk till Dawn

 

[MetalSymphony]

Bela Lugosi, 1931.

Original and IMO still the best.

I would actually suggest trying to find the Spanish version of the 1931 Dracula film. It's the same movie on the same set's with a different cast and a few changes. (like the English version is 75 minutes long where as the Spainish one is 107 minutes, more reveling dresses, more camera and lighting work).

IMO, Carlos Villarías makes a better Dracula than Lugosi does.

-Nosferatu
-the 1931 film (and Spanish version)
-the 1958 Hammer version of Dracula (or "Horror of Dracula")

HAMMER HORROR FTW!
Chris Lee does make one Badass Drac.

Thanks guys! I'm making a list for him. I think he'll definitely try the 1931 film first for sure.

but right now. Bram Stoker's is my favorite.

Dracula is ashamed of the vampires in twilight. so I hope in the last book he appears and kills every pussy vampire out there. epic finale
