I haven't seen the 1920s adaptation, but Herzog's is an absolute fuckin' masterpiece. I also really loved Coppola's version, hardly anyone ever speaks about that one. Those two are the only proper ones I've got around to seeing apart from those shameless Dracula6969, Wifey Dracula's Solied tampons etc teen flick versions. Oh, there was this softcore porn version I saw in middle school which got me super-horny for weeks at a stretch.

Also 'They Live' happens to be my favorite Carpenter flick. And you certainly haven't seen any of Jackson's previous films if you think he's worthy of only nose-picking. 'Braindead' should be right up your alley, and you can't deny that 'Meet the Feebles' has an underlying genius to itself.

My asshole internet connection decided to deactivate while I made my hugeass reply. So in short:

Coppola's film was great to look at with some killer scenes but the romance angle was done in the most crap-ass Nadeem-Shravan manner.

My reference to Jackson in the RtSL review was that in the age when even Jackson's mediocre efforts like the half-baked Frighteners are getting ultra-packed DVD releases, it's not fair that a significantly more interesting movie is not given any entry in the DVD market for people to check out.
