No love for Dracula?? I'm not sure why there was a big Keanu Reeves movement in the 90s but I just learned how to forgive his serious short-comings.

I love this movie, even if Coppola's interpretation is different from the book. Gary Oldman is a fucking genius.

Anthony Hopkins was great as usual, so odd to see him in a side role though.

Winona was sooo pretty and innocent (seemingly)

Reeves is the only actor I've ever seen who managed to f-up a British accent.

Hopkins is great in this one.

Shooting was delayed several times because Gary Oldman kept noticing that things were missing from his pockets.

I'm always amazed that Drexl in True Romance and Dracula are the same person. He really is a pretty damn good actor.

Not to hijack this thread, but don't forget his performance as Lee Harvey Oswald in JFK. This guy is just a fantastic actor.

Despite K. Reeves, this is still one of my all-time favorite movies. I love the cinematography in this movie, and the fact that it's both creepy and engaging makes for a good watch. This was one of my first DVD purchases.

:thumbsup:

I thought this was a terrible movie. I haven't seen it in a while, though.

I must watch it again now that I know who Tom Waits is.

Not a fan, though Oldman's great in everything he does. I prefer my Dracula to be more Legosi-like.

I hate the way Dracula was portrayed in this movie...they made him a pussy vampire in love...destroying everyhing that made him evil in the book and other movie versions..everything he does in the movie is because he is in love??..WTF??
On the other hand, the visuals, music and acting are amazing...

I enjoyed this movie, but I think it was mainly due to its atmosphere. It was so rich. I did like the brief story on Dracula's origin though.

Didn't enjoy this movie at all.....except for the red-head who showed her tits. Plus Winonna was pretty hot.
