Now, "Dracula" is probably my favorite book of all time. I've seen a number of film adaptations, and none, including this one, measure up to the novel. Of course you have to take into account Stoker's writing style which makes it hard to make it into a movie, but even so, I think Coppola's version is a little too bizarre for me. Excellent sound design though! My sound professor is one of the Oscar winners for the film-- he's fantastic.
