I watched this movie Dracula on YouTube last night and I really liked it, except for the last scene where Van Helsing jimpaled Dracula through the Heart Killing him! I really liked Bela Legosi as Dracula, Helen Chandler as Mina
, David Manners as Jon Harker, Dwight Fry as Renfiele, Herbert Brunson as Dr. Seward, Frances Dadeas as Lucy Watson, Joan Standing as Nurse Briggs and Charles K. Gerrard as Martin.
You should check out the Doctor Who episode from 1965, the Death of Time. It has the best of the early Daleks, among many other creatures.

I REWATCHED DRACULA RECENTLY AND FELT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ABOUT THE CHARACTER AND THE MOVIE THAN I DID WHEN I FIRST SAW IT MANY YEARS AGO...I ATTRIBUTE THIS TO TIM BURTON'S ED WOOD AND MARTIN LANDAU'S WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE.
shareStop yelling already and tell us why exactly you think this movie is so good?
shareNO & NO...THE CAPS WILL STAND...FOREVER...ALSO...I LIKE THE MOVIE BUT FEEL NO NEED TO DEFEND OR EXTRAPOLATE ON MY OPINION.
shareI feel like if I ever see you type in standard-issue caps-&-lowercase I will start looking for other fulfilled signs from the Book of Revelation.
I do think it's interesting that your opinion of this film was shifted by Burton's Ed Wood film. It's cool how that kind of thing can happen where one work of art or life experience alters something else you're taking in. There are some movies that are fairly bland and innocuous to most people, but probably wring tears out of others because of some outside association.
I'm sorry TC, but why exactly do you hate Van Helsing staking Dracula? I mean, yeah, the ending is rushed with Van Helsing doing that and that saving Mina but most of those old horror movies have similar endings. Like the original sound movie Frankenstein from the same year as this ending with the Monster getting burned up in the Wind Mill and Henry getting taken back to his house with his father toasting with the maids about "the house of Frankenstein." Not everything just ended on a big bang back then. Though if you haven't seen a lot of older movies from the 30s and 40s I can understand.
