Good and creepy choices.
I really liked "Ninth Gate." You never know what Polanski is thinking.
And Gary Oldham in "Dracula" is magnificent. But he was even better as Beethoven in "Immortal Beloved," one of the best movies ever made.

Those are definitely my 3 favorite movies. The transitions Dracula goes through from the strange guy in the castle to the young guy in London to the tall bat guy. I didn't like the way he quoted Jesus with the "It is finished" at the end but I did love the redemption at the end. Ninth gate always keeps you guessing. Obviously he is living the ritual and Boris's attempt at performing it was way off. But what kind of being is the girl? She's definitely not human, nor are the two twin bookshop keepers.
Devils advocate is an excellent examination of sin and temptation. Given that much temptation imagine how quickly we'd fall.
I've never seen Immortal Beloved.
