5. Dracula
And while we're on the subject of bringing back vampires to their wonderfully creepy position in cinema-lore, I don't think Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula remake should be anything to sniff at. It's a lovely, resonating film that sort of begs to be a classic but just can't commit. And, of course, the title is going to stir up some interest alone, as people far and wide know who the granddaddy of vampires is (or at least, I pray the do). Once again, there's an awful lot to work with here, and I think it's a film that could do marvels under the eye of Roman Polanski, with the talents of Christian Bale, Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Tom Hiddleston,and Colin Firth.

You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
