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?
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 VillarÃas makes a better Dracula than Lugosi does.
