Bram Stoker's Dracula/YMMV


 * Adaptation Displacement: To this day there are negative reviews in pages like Amazon criticizing the book for not having any of the romance this movie had.
 * Anvilicious: Lucy's a slut, we get it!
 * Big Lipped Alligator Moment: The scene when  Lucy and Mina run around outside and even kiss.. and then forget about it happening right away.
 * Van Helsing laughing like a lunatic while humping Quincey Morris's leg.
 * Van Helsing's random demonstration of Offscreen Teleportation, which he shows to Dr. Steward and co. to convince them that supernatural things exist. He's talking about hypnotism at the time, but no hypnotist is capable of such a feat. Basically, the man is a wizard, but everybody forgets it for the rest of the film.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: The whole soundtrack.
 * Designated Heroine: Mina.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Any scene involving Tom Waits as Renfield or Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing is bound to be more entertaining than the rest of the movie.
 * Romantic Plot Tumor: One of the biggest. How much you like the film depends in part on how you feel about the romance (and how annoyingly sexy you find Gary Oldman).
 * Extra squicky because the original attacks from the vampire heavily implied rape.
 * Strangled By the Red String: Dracula and Mina.
 * WTH Casting Agency: Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves as turn-of-the-century Londoners?
 * Coppola originally wanted Johnny Depp, but the studio wouldn't allow him.
 * This troper thinks Ryder´s delicate doe-eyed look actually fit well in that role.
 * Too bad nothing else about her did.
 * They did, however, do a good job casting Gary Oldman, since he looks a lot like the "official" portrait of Vlad Dracul.
 * In Ryder's case, she was the one who brought the script to Coppola's attention to begin with, so it was probably hard not to hire her. Reeves...there's no excuse for.
 * Woobie Destroyer of Worlds: Both injected into the story and Lampshaded, with Dracula only becoming a villain because he was enraged by a priest telling him that his suicidal love interest was in Hell. Mina even pities the count, which naturally disgusts the other characters.
