Personally I am a huge fan of the Underworld series, but I also really enjoyed the first Blade movie.
I know that there are more "classic" vampire tales, but they never really did anything for me.

I hate the whole techno vampire thing. It constantly reminds me of fat loser goth kids who think their vampires and wear those stupid giant parachute pants with all the straps and accessories. It's tough to say, but I think I'm going with Bram Stokers Dracula.

Interview will always be my favorite and preferred vamp movie. Despite the homosexual themes, it's the most engaging and "realistic" in my opinion.

30 Days of Night
Thou, because I am wroth, be not dismayed, for I shall win the strife, whoever circle round within for the defence. This their insolence is not new, for of old they used it at a less secret gate, which still is found without a bolt. Above it thou didst see the dead inscription; and already on this side of it
descends the steep, passing without escort through the circles,
One such that by him the city shall be opened to us.

Interview with the Vampire captivated me the first time I watched it.

From Dusk Till Dawn for me.

Interview explores the psychological ramifications of being an immortal bloodsucker. So in that respect its probably the best.
Of course, in my opinion there has been way too much vampire fetishing going on, so I'm inclined to the original Dracula. Its not the best vampire movie ever, but its worth seeing Nosferatu at least once.

I mentioned From Dusk Till Dawn earlier and ther were a few moments that were just awesome. George Clooney with the stake attached to that numatic drill thing, Cheech as a vampire, strippers that become vampires...especially Salma Hayek...pre-vampire form that is. What I loved the most was the first half was a crime story, second half was a vampire movie. One of my favorite quotes from Cheech's vampire character is:
"You know what everybody says about me right?...I SUCK!"
"Anybody who ever built an empire, or changed the world, sat where you are now. And it’s because they sat there that they were able to do it."
"Fighting in a basement offers a lot of difficulties, number one being, you're fighting in a basement."

Yea I agree with you there IceWarm. From Dusk Till Dawn is one of the first movies I really loved. You can't beat Tom Savini and Fred Wiliams kicking vampire ass in the same film, with Harvey Keitel thrown in for extra awesome. George Clooney was cool as fuck too.

I don't watch too many Vampire movies. The TV shows killed a lot of the appeal That said:
For me, it's definately got to be a tie between Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Nosferatu. Nosferatu just has the eerie feeling of no sound, and the uniqueness of the Vampire not looking like the regular rendition of Dracula. Bram Stoker's Dracula on the other hand set the stage for what The Count should look like, and it was very creepy. They both go into my Top 10 Movies of All Time list.
