He definitely likes <i>Underworld</i> and is glad to defend it, but it made the list mainly because he sees it as defining a new subgenre in vampire cinema. As for Neil Jordan's <i>Interview</i>, Wendigo thinks it simply appeared too late, after other movies had absorbed the influence of Anne Rice's books, so that nothing really struck him as new about it in 1994. Speaking for myself, having not read Rice's books, Jordan's film was better than I expected, and I also thought Dunst was one of the best things about it.<br /><br />To stir the pot further, Wendigo has given me a supplemental list to fatten this up to a top 20. This list follows the format of the first, starting back in time again before marching to the present:<br /><br />11. Dracula (1930 Spanish-language version)<br />12. Son of Dracula (1943)<br />13. Kiss of the Vampire (1963)<br />14. The Return of Count Yorga (1971)<br />15. Blacula (1972)<br />16. Satanic Rites of Dracula (1973)<br />17. Dracula (1979)<br />18. The Hunger (1983)<br />19. Shadow of the Vampire (2000)<br />20. Twilight (2008)<br /><br />And to stir the pot further yet, he's preparing a list of his <b>least</b> favorite vampire films for posting later this weekend.

I'm not sure if the Rev or Wendigo would agree with me on this one, but "Interview with the Vampire" conceivably belongs on any top ten list of vampire films. The sight of Kirsten Dunst as a pre-teen vampire all but stole the show from its' leads, Tom Cruise & Brad Pitt.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-47775892059314089102009-10-28T01:36:42.698-04:002009-10-28T01:36:42.698-04:00That's a hell of a list.

I don't care for Underworld though, but the rest all tops in my book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02208109184435483950noreply@blogger.com
