Try Buster Keaton's 'The General'.
I like Le Fanu too. I realise Stoker wasn't the first person to write about Vampires, but the modern concept of 'vampire' basically all goes back to Dracula.
It also features one of the earliest unecessary Anthony Hopkins castings.
Well, if we take Dracula as the original text, the Vampire's always been sexualised. But yes, that's basically Murnau's interpretation.
It's a fantastic image. I believe Bauhaus used it for an album cover.
Giving Nosferatu a B+ reminded me of that Simpsons AV club parody where they gave Wizard of Oz a D.
I was in Riga a couple of weeks ago and there were huge posters all over the city advertising a Scorpions concert in December.
Yeah, it's definitely overstuffed. They could lose the whole thing with her husband and it'd be fine.

What would 'objective back up of something being pretentious' look like?
I actually felt Gaiman's work started to get less interesting a few years before he got involved with Palmer.
I think the idea was that her boss razzing her for putting down her gun when Barnes took a hostage made her overcompensate. I bought it, actually.
Ironically, in Bram Stoker's book, Dracula could go out in the sunlight just fine. The vampire-dissolves-into-ash in sun comes from Nosferatu, a derivative work.
It reminds me quite a lot of Sleepy Hollow, chiefly in its over-reliance on Generic Evil Secret Conspiracies to make the narrative work.
I groaned at the Borgia-as-a-vampire reference.
I remember being quite disappointed by 1602. I'm glad that critical consensus seems to agree with me.
It's definitely in my top 10 Gorillaz + Lou Reed songs.
The Living Daylights was a top film.
Any show made by Joss Whedon is automatically considered to have an adequate number of people by people who care about that kind of thing on the internet.
