Dracula:

Most of the compliments here should go to Bela Lugosi. He does have a charismatic presence that immediatley fills the screen with his intimidating look and his iconic voice. Making him into the Dracula that is still known and imitated to this date, often by people not even knowing Lugosi or his work.

Granted, for the more ADD prone among us, the close-ups on Lugosi's face may linger on a bit long. By today's standards, some of the descriptions look a bit silly (Oh my God, there is a big dog running by - surely they could have shown THAT back in 1931) and the end is a bit abrupt. But when you open yourself up and let yourself be immersed in the story, the 75 minutes fly by.
