Vampire Movie Recommendations

[Strangler Lewis]

I thought the FFC casting of Keanu Reaves and Winona Ryder as the romantic leads was an interesting tribute to the Lugosi "original" in that neither of the romantic lead actors in that film could act either.

Casting of vampire movies is important to me. I mean, Tom Cruise as Lestat? Not. I was picturing Julian Sands or someone of that ilk. Winona and Keanu bugged the crap out of me in that Crappola film.

I'm a Keanu fan because of my love for The Matrix and he looks a lot like an old boyfriend as well... but his high pitched soft voice was wretched... their romance was very blah and well - not romantic. Where's the effin passion? Although I felt the same about her and dracula as well. It wasn't the right combination of hotness and danger! I guess I'm looking for a recreation of "should I eff you or suck your blood and kill you".

I love The Matrix. But Keanu has ruined several films by just being cast in them:
Much Ado About Nothing
Dangerous Liasons
Devil's Advocate
