    Bela Lugosi and Chrisopher Lee rank as, really, the only good Draculas.

    Those were the best, imo. The rest range from: I didn't like them to plain bloody awful.
  • Bela lugosi is the best imo, but i also liked Christopher Lee. Although im not a huge fan on the franchise

    I do hope everyone is voting for Christopher Lee as best Dracula.

    Bela Lugosi is a cut above the rest. His look and accent are just perfect!

    I am so uneducated, I only saw Christopher Lee and Gary Oldman. Those two were very good though.

    That is not uneducated, it is a chance to experience new versions and find your head around the interpretations of the various.

    I am looking forward to the new Dracula movie with Luke Evans.

    The man's a nutcase.
    But very talented. Dune was almost great. Elephant Man is his best work IMO. Eraserhead made me feel like I was on a bad acid trip.
  • He makes to special movies for my taste. But i still really liked the elephant man and Mulholland Drive

    I've only ever seen Dune, but I enjoyed that greatly.

    I never saw Lee as Dracula - or any of the others mentioned - only Lugosi (who was great).
    Sorry, correction: I did enjoy Nosferatu a lot! Max was fantastic. Close second to Lugosi.
    (I have not seen the remake.)

    Arnold gets my vote as worse actor (true, I have never liked him).

    I think I have seen only one David Lynch film - The Elephant Man, eons ago. It was pretty good, but I cannot remember much. So another topic, I can't really say much about. But it's still fun reading this thread.

    The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, and Twin Peaks were all excellent, so I admire David Lynch very much as a filmmaker. Still, his style, themes, and subject matter don't exactly match my tastes, so I don't find myself revisiting his work or seeking out films of his I haven't seen. I tried watching Mulholland Drive back when it came out, grew disinterested, and never finished it, but I should probably watch it in full at some point since I've heard it strongly recommended. I'm somewhat interested in seeing Inland Empire based on the synopsis, but I've heard mixed reviews. I've never had an interest in watching Dune, but as a big fan of science fiction in general, I am positive I will wind up seeing it at some point. I guess the bottom line for me with David Lynch is that I respect him as a filmmaker, but seeing his name attached to a project doesn't get me very interested in it.

    Thank you @SaintMark for your positive way of seeing things :-) .




    Upon checking imdb, I not only find that I saw more of his films that I enjoyed than films I didn´t enjoy, but also that he did a documentary with Duran Duran, which of course gives the man a big plus.

    I don´t clearly remember Blue Velvet.
    I do clearly remember how cool Special Agent Dale B. Cooper was, and how p+++ed off I was when that spirit got into him. I seem to remember the cinematic Twin Peaks film to be a mess, but maybe I should watch it one more time.
    Lost Highway was brilliant.
    The Elephant Man was rather moving in retrospective. At the time when I saw it I was expecting some kind of monster film, so I couldn´t really appreciate it for what it is immediately.
    The only attribute I can think of in regard to Eraserhead is disturbing. But maybe my understanding of art will one day have developed so far that I can give the film another try. Or better not.
    Dune was cool, all the more so since I heard Alejandro Jodorowsky talk about his own preparations for making the film, and how commercialized in comparison Lynch´s version turned out.
    I found the first half of Mullholland Drive hilarious, the second half utter c++p. Perhaps I should check out the tv version.
    The straight Story was great. Also because it was one of the very few films I watched together with my dad where both of us had a good time ;-) .


    Time for a list:

    Good vibe:
    Lost Highway
    The straight Story
    Mullholland Drive (first half)

    Very fascinating at least at the time it came out:
    Twin Peaks (tv series)

    Enjoyed:
    Dune
    The Elephant Man
    Blue Velvet

    Bad vibe:
    Mullholland Drive (second half)
    Eraserhead

    Don´t really know where to put Twin Peaks Fire walk with Me

    Lynch is one of those directors who keep surprising you as a viewer with his cinematic outings, and that goes in both directions good & bad.
    But I find that a movie with his name attached does generate my interest.

    Blue Velvet was great, but Wild At Heart was even greater, and of course Twin Peaks changed television.
  • Blue Velvet was great, but Wild At Heart was even greater, and of course Twin Peaks changed television.

    I still don't understand why a lot of people find Twin Peaks some sort of masterpiece. Some of the elements like the show's atmosphere are great, but the story itself... The first few episodes are very enjoyable, but after that it quickly turns silly.

    That's just my own opinion though, I have a friend who really loves it. :)

    Christopher Lee
    He brought a certain menace and sexual energy to the role.

    I like some of Lynch's films but not all. I have yet to watch Inland Empire. Eraserhead is actually my favourite of his films though I hardly comprehend it. I guess I'm drawn in by the visual style.
