Of all the Dracula and other vampire movies from 1931 to the present...Lugosi's "Dracula" is my favorite. Yes, a lot of it is slow moving, but all the scenes with Lugosi make up for it.

FAVORITES:

Dracula (1931)
Son of Dracula
Dracula (1931 Spanish)
Dracula's Daughter
House of Frankenstein
House of Dracula

Horror of Dracula
Brides of Dracula
Scars of Dracula
Dracula Has Risen From the Grave
Dracula: Prince of Darkness
Dracula (Jack Palance)

I used to like the 1979 Dracula with Frank Langella and Lawrence Olivier...but on more recent viewings, I've gotten bored with it.

The same goes for "Dracula" with Gary Oldman

Dan's list covers it pretty well. The Universal films he cites are among my favorites as well.

Dracula (1931) remains my favorite. Lugosi gives the performance of a lifetime, and the supporting cast is memorable as well, especially Dwight Frye.

I still haven't seen the Spanish Dracula, which was filmed at the same time as the Lugosi version.

Dracula's Daughter (1936) is one of the most underrated Universal horror films. Gloria Holden and Irving Pichel are amazing.

Son of Dracula (1943) has been much maligned for its casting of Lon Chaney Jr as Count Alucard, but I thought Chaney did a nice job with the role.

Horror of Dracula (1958) and Brides of Dracula (1960) are my favorites from Hammer. Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966) and Dracula Has Risen from the Grave (1968) are major contenders as well.

Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee are, to me, the two greatest Draculas in the history of the silver screen.
