Most people may not like but 30 Days of Night is my favorite, I really really enjoy it.
30 Days of Night was awesome. I loved the feeling of being isolated from the world and I generally like horrors set during harsh winter. I also liked how the vampires didn't communicate in any human language and pretty much treated people like meat, it's a rare thing for a modern flick. ;)

As for my all-time favorite, I couldn't name only one. From Dusk Till Dawn is probably the best comedy, Blade the best action flick and 1992 Dracula the best actual horror.

Of the top of my head.

Dishonourable mention to I Am Legend for being so fucking bad it almost makes the book worse by association.

Forgot about Dusk Til Dawn, bollocks.

From Dusk till Dawn

Starts off as an intense crime thriller, with the signature trademark dialogue of Quentin Tarantino, and morphs into an absurd gorefest where the anti-heroes of the story turns into a pack of bad ass vampire killers.

It's the greatest mid-twist of a movie I can think of, and one you can never guess coming due to the excellent direction of Robert Rodriguez.

From the brilliant opening, when the Gecko brothers square off with a liquor store owner, turning it into "Benny's world of Blood" instead of being "low profile",to somber moments in the motor home where Seth gets personal with Harvey Keitels character about his faith in God, From Dusk till Dawn let's its characters grow and breathe before unleashing hell in a sudden turn of events.

It's also a star making performance from George Clooney. Seth Gecko is one person you don't wanna fuck with, he carries a lot of respect but underneath the hard exterior there lives a man with a gentle heart.

"I'm a bastard but not a fucking bastard", sums up his character perfectly.

The insane mayhem that takes place in the Titty Twister, is carefully staged and even when the Gecko's and their entourage shows up it takes a while before the vampire action kicks in. It's every gore lover's dream, with well done practical effects and animatronics in action, before CGI fucked up the entire industry.

From Dusk till Dawn is a true classic and in my opinion the ultimate vampire flick, as it combines two genres I love and masterfully combines them without feeling forced. It got memorable characters, an insane premise that delivers on the action on multiple levels, terrific soundtrack and so many classic quotes that it could fill up an entire lexicon.

What we do in the shadows - comedy

The TV series is great too, I thought it was slow at first but it really picked up later on and season 2 was great as well.

Wesley Snipes has a teeny cameo as Blade in the show too, twice

What time is it?
Some mother fuckers just like ice skating up hill. The CG probably betrays that movie.

I also like From Dusk Till Dawn. I saw it with my brother in the theater and we had no idea it was a vampire movie.

I need to re-watch Lost Boys at some point. I don't remember liking it very much on first viewing.

We have a winner.

Focus on Blade 1. Special effects are pretty shit, but cool movie.

Blade 2 is so-so. Blade 3 is shit.

It's kind of like The Matrix. Good first movie, meh sequels. For anyone who hasn't seen Blade flicks, you can just watch the first one and be fine. The third movie is a scam. Wesley Snipes is barely in it, and there's a new tag team of heroes turning the movie into a comedy fest with one line zingers every minute. Totally different than the first movie which is more dark and serious.

The third one does contain the phrase "Cock juggling thunder cunt" though, which is a good phrase to contain.
