Poll 10-26-15 Dueling Dracula's

Picked lugosi. Because little kids didn't spend fifty years dressing up as the Gary Oldman Dracula for Halloween.

The only thing I don't love about Coppola's version is Keanu Reeves as Jonathan Harker. Winona Rider as Mina Murray is barely tolerable, but Reeves does such an awful accent that he ruins every scene he's in (except maybe the one with Dracula's brides). Everything else about the movie is solid gold.

I just watched the Todd Browning version with Lugosi the other night. My room mate got a blu ray with the original and the spanish version that was made from the same script. There's a lot of good stuff in the Browning's version, but Coppola raised the bar.

Any other Dracula's you want to mention, feel free, but I'm keeping the options at these two because I feel like they were the most iconic.
