^ Lee is still my favorite too, but I can appreciate Langella's take.
I also liked Jack Palance's version, which I saw for the first time earlier this year. His Dracula was the first to be tied directly to Vlad, and have the reincarnated love storyline (which was borrowed from The Mummy, among other things). He played an almost animal-like Dracula. His actions came across more as a product of his nature than pure evil.
Lee continues to be the bad-arse, most evil Count.

Do "Fabricated-Americans" count?
Cause no Dracula archtype is better than Greg The Bunny's Count Blah!

What about The Count from Sesame Street? I always thought that he had a hidden dark side somewhere, and he spooked me as a kid.
I remember asking my sister, "If he's a vampire, how come he's out during the day?"
She said, "He's a Muppet vampire, he doesn't go poof on account of he's made of foam." or something to that extent.JediJaidaComment

Is Loius Jourdan's BBC version available? I remember liking him alot--both charming/urbane & evil. Kinf of a Lee-Lugosi blend. And the script was closer to Stoker.
Langella's not bad, but the ending of that film--yechh.
I'd have to say that I don't like my Drac too sympathetic, but I did enjoy the total package of Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Dracula aside, I liked the takes on Baron Meister & Count Yorga...WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Well, I checked DVDReview, and it is available.
Bad news: It has three minutes of ads before the opening credits that can't be fast forwarded through or skipped and it has no Extra features at all.
Otherwise, it has a good review.
Dunno if I want it or not, but maybe they'll show it again on PBS.JediJaidaComment

Yeah, a film that's mostly forgotten, but especially the look of Dracula was very "book accurate".....

^ That was at Wal-Mart recently. I should have bought it. But I heard it was a mixed bag. But I should have, just for another Lee/Dracula movie, especially with a different spin!
