I have all these on my shelves in alphabetical order because I am slightly OCD. Love everyone of these movies!

Did you decide to just limit yourself to the 10, or are there really only 10?

MichaelN March 28, 2010

I guess when I was writing them I got to 10 and thought that was a good round number.

I always have a problem limiting myself to such a small number.

MichaelN March 31, 2010

You think bigger thoughts than I do. lol

QUEENBFLIX March 31, 2010

Hardly. I just can't make up my mind and limit myself to 10 of anything!

Cool list. About your explanation on #8, actually, Bela also played a vampire (sort of, he was actually an actor playing a vampire) in "Mark of the Vampire" in 1935. That film was also directed by Tod Browning, who did the 1931 "Dracula", and was a remake of the now lost 1927 horror film "London After Midnight" starring Lon Chaney, Sr.. I wish that they had video documentation of Bela's stage performance of "Dracula". I've heard that he was far less restrained and used his unusual physicality for greater dramatic effect.

I vaguely remember Mark of the Vampire (I seem to remember Bela with a woman in a white nightgown) but I last saw that film about 30 years ago so I can't rate it.

Yeah, over all it's not a bad film, but I wish that they hadn't censored the script.

These are the films that I go back to time and again. And they are in some sort of approximate order, but I wouldn't take the order too seriously.
