I've only caught bits and pieces of this film until recently. I really liked it I thought it was good. Kind of expected more out of it though.

The ending was a little... anticlimactic wasn't it? Well if you want a few other vampire movie recommendations I'd say check out:

The Lost Boys: I'm sure you've already seen this, but if not it's pretty much the quintessential vampire movie of the '80's.

Cronos: Not exclusively a vampire film, but it was Guillermo del Toro's directorial debut and involves drinking blood and the struggle to stay human

Let The Right One In/ Let Me In: Let The Right One In is the Swedish equivalent of Twilight except it's less a focus on teenage heartthrobs and more a focus on the confusing and insecurities of 11-14 year old romance. Let Me In is the American remake which I haven't seen yet, but I've heard it's pretty good so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

Fright Night: Pretty much what kick started the pairing of teenagers with vampires with elements of comedy, action, and horror.

From Dusk till Dawn: This is Robert Rodriguez (director) and Quentin Tarantino (screenplay writer/ actor) with George Clooney, Harvey Keitel, and Juliette Lewis in a western Vampire movie, so you already know it's gonna be good.

Bordello of Blood: I wouldn't say this is a good movie, but it has Dennis Miller, Corey Feldmen, a midget, and a pretty decent amount of nudity. It's a Tales from the Crypt keeper feature so it's not really intended to be taken seriously.

There's a lot of them out there, not all of them are great, but I think this list should be enough for right now.

Masterpiece. Fantastic characterisation, pacing and deals with morality and ethics.

Another great one from Hitchcock.

Good, but I did feel a little let down. I think I was expecting more, but it's still a damn good film.

That poster has the characters mixed up a little.

It does, but I was too lazy to find another one.

I apologize because I'm sure all these films have already been done millions of times by people who actually watch movies when they come out rather than procrastinating and watching them when the hype is over.

The Social Network - which I loved. The chemistry between Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield was awesome, and even though Justin Timberlake had to go and **** it all up eventually since he couldn't just stick to bringing sexy back, I still really enjoyed it. AG is a babe.

Black Swan - utter ****. Thats all.

X-Men: First Class - wowowoowowow. I know its meant to be this dramatic superhero/mutant film with a great storyline, as well as incredibly well shot - and it was. But for me it was just this big romantic drama between Erik/Charles who were so obviously in love with eachother, featuring Moira the cockblock and Tony from Skins with an awful American accent. Oh, and January Jones who was thoroughly disapointing as Emma Frost, even though she is fabulous and all that. This film was sassy.

Fight Club - ****. Best movie ever.

you might enjoy it, it was the best one yet imo.

I saw it in 3-D but meh 3-D didn't really add to the movie much imo.

The combat scenes were pretty damn great with them using swords and guns

Actually, I haven't seen Lost Boys even though it's a cult classic, not sure. I just never got around to it.

Cronos, I know nothing about. I think I have heard someone name drop it but that's about it.

Let The Right One In/ Let Me In, I have both of those movies on my netflix list....I should probably move them up and watch because they are pretty far down on it.

The last three you suggested , I have seen already numerous times except for Fright Night. I need to re-watch that one because I don't remember it too well.

i don't understand the hate - sure it's contrived and the subtext trite, but it was executed beautifully

i didn't like this much - too slow-moving until the middle and i thought Kevin Bacon sucked as Sebastian Shaw

but agree with you about the homoeroticism between Magneto and Proefessor X (they should have just followed Wolverine's advice, instead of becoming foes at the end) and January Jones

don't intend to see it in 3D, it's been getting pretty fair reviews so far

Lost Boys is a pretty fun cheesy 80s classic

Cronos, I think, is one of the better Del Toro movies, I liked it, but it might be a bit ponderous for you

Let The Right One In/ Let Me In - there's no point watching both, the second is almost a scene-by-scene remake of the first

if you do want to watch it, watch the original Swedish version
