Lets face it, it has Gary Oldman as a vampire, not only is that freaking awesome, but you have Dracula as he is meant to be, Taken from most of the book with new things added.

This is like Twilight, if Twilight had good actors, a better plot, guns, violence, and less Kristen Stewart whining and being an emo bitch. (Twilight will not be appearing on this list because it isn't vampires, it's fairies that drink blood.) Vampires vs. Lycans, Kate Beckinsale in Tight Leather. What more is there to say.

Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, good Combo, nice story. Tom Cruise is less creepy in this than he was a couple of years ago. And they go gay for one another. Awesome movie, also shows that sexuality is not a factor if your a bloodsucker.

This would be higher on the list if not for the whole convoluted Plot. But it did have the same elements in the first one (and Kate Beckinsale naked) And had more action.
10. Daybreakers (2009)
