I like this idea.
Vampires
1. Thirst
-Director Park Chan-Wook (Oldboy) directs this film about a priest and his experiences as he becomes a vampire. Phenomenal screenplay and it's very well shot, it also really boils down the moral dilemma in a way I haven't seen many other movies do.
2. A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
-Surreal, dark, and slightly comedic take on the vampire genre. It's got a very unique vibe that I could see the director extending to make himself an auteur.
3. Let the Right One In
-Love the original version, this was an instant classic the moment it came out.
4. Nosferatu
-Don't even need to explain this one.
5. Shadow of the Vampire
-A film about Nosferatu that's very well done. Not my favourite from the director, but there are solid performances and cinematography.
6. Nosferatu the Vampyre
-Herzog's take on the story.
7. Cronos
-I like this one, but not nearly as much as the others. Kind of not the biggest fan of the vampire genre.
8. From Dusk Till Dawn
-Loads of fun, nice dialogue from Tarantino. Not nearly the best work from anyone involved though.
9. Only Lovers Left Alive
-Beautiful Jarmusch flick.
10. The Lost Boys
-Okay, I guess I'll add it.
