I dunno, I liked Underworld. I may be the only one.

Okay, I’ll admit it; I liked _Blacula_. It didn’t take itself seriously and William Marshall was great.

I also liked _Captain Cronos, Vampire Hunter_. This was an attempt by Hammer to start a new franchise around the character of an 18th century moster fighter. But the movie didn’t do well and no sequels were made.

True, but the OP asked about **vampire** movies. I am not saying it is not a good movie, just that it doesn’t fulfill the OPs requirements, that’s all,

Well, excuse me, I am about to go watch [The Fearless Vampire Killers](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061655/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnxteD0yMHxHTz1zZWFyY2h8c2c9MXxsbT0yMDB8dHQ9MXxwbj0wfHE9ZmVhcmxlc3MgdmFtcGlyZSBraWxsZXJzfEdPLng9MHxodG1sPTF8R08ueT0w;fc=1;ft=1)

Nosferatu is, of course, the best.

But after that, I gotta go with The Hunger. Any vampire flick that includes a scene with La Deneuve and Susan Sarandon making soft-core lesbo love is simply not to be missed.

That part was pretty good, but the best scene was the totally wicked rollerskating sequence!

I liked it because of Vonetta McGee’s legs in those teensy 1972 skirts.
