Your favourite vampire movies

What are your favourite vampire movies?

...I mean, I'd never call it a great work of art or anything, but I quite liked 'John Carpenter's Vampires'. It was loaded with action and had great practical special effects. (Also, my sister was way into vampires and witches and all when we were in high school, and after a few too many viewings of 'Interview With the Vampire' and 'The Craft' and suchlike crap, I was more than ready to see some creatures of the night get their pasty butts kicked.)

I thought 'What We Do in the Shadows' was really funny.

Off the top of my head: Blade, Dracula: Dead & Loving It, and What We Do in the Shadows.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Dracula: Dead and Loving It, I remember thinking it was kind of funny.

Interview With The Vampire was interesting, but weird and even a bit corny.

I thought Blade was cool because I'd never seen anything so crazy as a kid. My parents didn't appreciate that too much. It's just sort of decent, really.

Looking at a list to refresh my memory, I saw Ultraviolet there. I don't remember it aside from thinking it was okay but forgettable, obviously.

And mine are...

Hotel Transylvania (I, II, III)

^^Huh. I totally forgot 'Ultraviolet' was a vampire movie. It was alright.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Me too. After I forgot it existed, and what it was even about, of course. It actually was alright though.

[Booyakasha]

'Ultraviolet' was wacky, but fun. Like, if I'm going to watch a cyberpunk flick with some butt-kicking action lady, UV is definitely preferable to live-action 'Aeon Flux', or live-action 'Ghost in the Shell'.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Aren't those Netflix productions? That's bottom of the barrel right there, especially in terms of live-action anime adaptations. Ultraviolet is probably a masterpiece compared to them.

[Booyakasha]

Oh, no, those were big-budget studio flicks. I don't think Netflix even existed when 'Aeon Flux' movie got made (and if it did, it would have been way back when Netflix's business model was all DVD rentals by mail).

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Really? Ghost in the Shell feels recent for some reason... Well that's good, they're probably alright movies then.

[Booyakasha]

GitS is recent, it just wasn't a cheap cash-in. Studios threw some serious moolah behind it, got Scarlett Johansson and all-------------it simply wasn't a very good or entertaining movie, which was partially to blame for it flopping.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

Ah, I'm tired, reading comprehension is down the drain.

Too bad it flopped. Studios seem to not only struggle in adapting video game movies but anime as well. Video game movies have slowly been getting better, but I can't name many actually good anime-based films.

Hurts to know Dragon Ball will probably never get another shot. The one franchise I'd trust Michael Bay with.
