Bram Stoker's Dracula

One of the all time favorites, this version of Dracula starts with a human Count Dracula with a love lost. Waiting centuries together to get a glimpse of a woman resembling his love....must be fun...
Jokes apart, Coppola handles it masterfully. Wonder if someone other than Gary Oldman would have made it more gripping. Great cast though. There's a new book 'The Historian' or something...based on digging info about the real Transylvanian Count.
