Frank Langella, Dracula
John Badham (Saturday Night Fever) directed this horror romance that leans decidedly into the “romance” part of that subgenre, starring the great Frank Langella as a particularly swoon-worthy version of the Count. The supporting cast is also swoon-worthy, at least in terms of acting talent, with Laurence Olivier as Van Helsing and Donald Pleasence (Halloween) as Jack Seward; there’s also a score by the legendary John Williams.
