I personally kinda enjoyed the first movie. It was a different take on the Vampire thing and that's always nice. Also, I'll admit to being swayed a bit by Kate Beckinsale in the leather. See my answer to question 19 in the Questionnaire thread I still haven't seen the second movie...

I also really enjoyed the Bram Stoker movie when it came out. I think it was the first movie after Bill and Ted that Keanu Reaves didn't completely ruin for me. Matrix, Devil's Advocate, and Constantine are in that column now, too. Anyway.

I used to dig all kinds of vampire movies...Nosferatu, the old Bela Lagosi stuff, Fright Night, Salem's Lot. All great stuff, but now I find that I can't watch most of it (well, Salem's Lot is a little different than the others...it just scares the bejeepers out of me). What's up with that? Am I unconsciously raising my own standards as I get older or something?

LOVED Underworld 1 and 2. Kate Beckinsale has got to be easily one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. And Scott Speedman nekkid - he he he


I liked Queen of the Damned much more than Interview. Tom Cruise ruined it for me.

I liked Van Helsing too. It was a hoot.

I personally think Underworld two is the best romantic movie and my pic for perfect Valentine's day movie( keep in mind last year for Valentines it was my turn to pick the movie and I picked Alien vs. Predator).. . I love Blade, but Blade 3 is my fav simply for the addition of Ryan Reynolds who is a riot and plus he starred with Nathan in Two guys and a girl.

I was mostly enamored of Ryan's Vamp tattoo - or the shot of Ryan SHOWING us his tattoo - Happy Trails are my friend!

I'm glad to hear somebody else liked the Buffy movie.
I saw it for what it was, a campy B movie. Tongue in cheek. And I liked it. But I'm no fan of the TV series.

I may be the only one that doesn't think SMG is particularily attractive. Plus she cannot act.

I'm starting to see a trend. The people that liked the Buffy movie tend to not like the series. Hmmmm...

Anywho, I'm a vampire and werewolf fan. Someone mentiond Fright Night and Salem's lot. Loved Fright Night, yawned through Salem's lot.

I liked the Blade movies. 1&3 were my favorites too. Underworld, wasn't bad. But I will watch the second one. It's on my list.

Ok, now you can dump on my head for not being a Buffy fan.

I LOVED Ryan Reynolds in that and can only hope that Whistler was smart enough to see the end of that trail. One would have to assume that two attractive people like that would have to work the adrenaline off some how.

I liked SMG in Buffy. I liked Allyson Hannigan better. It was the dialogue between the characters that I liked. Especially in the beginning. My all time favorite line is when Willow says "Hey! Standing right here, right exactly here" when Xander and Buffy are talking about her.

I REALLY liked Oz and was gutted when he was written out of the show.

Blade is okay, but I like the Buffster better.
As far as other vamp things go, Underworld is okay, but the old Night Stalker TV movie rules! And John Carpenter's Vampires was a cool take on the legends.

And don't get me started on Blacula Chrisisall

I agree with you about BTVS The Movie. Campy? Yes. B movie? Yes. Not what Joss wanted? Yes. But taken on its own merits, I thought it was fun. No deeper than a puddle in a parking lot, but fun.

I must be a minority in the minority. I liked the movie. I liked the series. Perhaps it is because I can compartment my brain better than some.

Says you! I feel you spilling into my side all the time.

Pipe down, I was talkin ta' someone here! Have you no courtesy?

I got yer courtesy right here in my hand, pal!

Forgive me... I can't take me anywhere without me misbehaving like that. Anyways, where was I? Oh yeah... I likes 'em both. But I honestly think it is because I consider them as entirely separate entities that share a few similar plot points. So I watch each of them on their own merits.

Oh, and about the others...

Liked the Blades quite a bit. (Bonus points: Good memories watching them with my younger son.)

Loved both Underworlds. (Bonus points: Good memories watching them with my older son.)

Lukewarm to a bit cool on the Chronicles. But I can't put my finger on why.

Loved Carpenter's original Vampire$. Especially with Carpenter's commentary. The sequel seemed like filler.

From Dusk 'til Dawn, anyone? Loved the original. Didn't care for the sequel.
