Dracula (1979)
One of the first horror movies I can recall watching at an early age without covering my eyes from start to finish. It opens with a howl so creepy and horrifying, and it's just epic!
Sir Laurence Olivier as Prof. Van Helsing? No one could argue with what perfect 1979 casting that is right there! Frank Langella is a suave bastard as Drac, but at the same time he's haunted my nightmares. Those scenes where he climbs up and down buildings just invoke terror. Kate Nelligan is perfect as Lucy and Donald Pleasence as Dr. Seward adds so much to his role.
The sets, the fog, the darkness, it all adds to the experience in a great way. This version differs greatly from the Stoker novel and most adaptations, it was based on a Broadway production at the time. It has great moments you never saw coming for this reason. I mean, the same old story is great and all, but this movie changes it up wonderfully.
