As far as I know, bram stokers Dracula by coppola is based on the same book that nosferatu was. Which one is the better film for you? I guess I like the first one more.

Dracula. Nosferatu was a bore to me.

Nosferatu (’22) or Bram Stoker’s Dracula (’92)? Other than the 70-year difference in releases and the superficial plot lines, I don’t find much of anything in common between these two, but I’d have to say that I slightly prefer Nosferatu while greatly respecting Coppola’s technique in his adaptation. Nosferatu is not Murnau’s best picture, and certainly not the all-time masterpiece of horror as some sources bill it, but it’s quite good and achieves a level of mastery in Schreck’s performance. Bram Stoker’s Dracula subsists mainly on the imagery, which is very strong indeed (the “Lucy is staked” sequence is the best of the many adaptations and emphasizes the implied but blatant sexuality as no other version does), but the plot is messy and the acting (Oldman and Hopkins notwithstanding) off. I still think it’s better than often given credit for.
Either way, wouldn’t a fairer comparison be between Nosferatu and Dracula ’31 (the English-language version, that is)? Of those I’d actually have to say I prefer the latter.

...apples and oranges...how about the Werner Herzog 1978 film..."Nosferatu, Phantom of the Night" which is IMO the very best of this type featuring Klaus Kinki as the Count...
