1. Vampyr (1931)
2. Night of the Demon (Curse ...) (1959)
3. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
4. Dead of Night (1945)
5. Frankenstein/Bride of Frankenstein (1931/1935) (I know, it's cheating, but they are much better together than separate.)
6. King Kong (1933)
7. Godzilla, King of the Monsters (1956)
8. The Mummy (1932)
9. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941)
10.The Cat People (1942)

So sue me, I've never been particularly fond of the 1931 "Dracula" or of Tod Browning. I do like Bela Lugosi's performance, but not enough to watch the movie very often. Gimme "Nosferatu" any day.
