This one's great(!), though enough liberties were taken with the basic Dracula story that I prefer the title on the movie's title card, Horror of Dracula.

The colorful visuals don't detract from the gothic setting, but instead give this a bit more of a fairy tale look that I really enjoyed. Everyone is great in their roles (shout-outs to Christopher Lee's Count, John Van Eyssen's Harker, and Peter Cushing's Van Helsing), and the visual effects (neck bites, bloodshot eyes, burning up into ash in the sun) were quite effective.

Worth watching if you can!

My wife and I just saw the smash Broadway musical based on the movie, and while we enjoyed the show, neither of us had seen the movie in a long time.
The movie remains my preferred method of taking in this musical tale, chaotic Baz just going all out, and I still like it lots.
