Gary Oldman was the Drac for my generation. He *got* it. The Byronesque aspect of it. The first dracula story in English was written by Lord Byron's physician, and was quasi-biographical (apart from the blood drinking bit). But the description of Dracul as the debauched nobleman? Totally Byron. And Gary so caught the essence of that, didn't he?
While I went with Lugosi as well, I loved the interpretation of Dracula as Judas Escariat in Dracula 2000. Certainly explained why some of the things that inhibited Dracula had such an effect.
