Vampire movie recs (Part 1)

I spent a little time yesterday huffing and puffing and blowing Stephanie Meyer's zillion dollar house down.   When the dust had settled, the whole thing got me to thinking about good vampire movies, so I decided to start doing mini-reviews of some of my favorites.

Included below are a pair of fang flicks I could watch over and over without my eyes rolling back into my skull like a cartoon slot machine.
