I love the atmosphere of the movie, the soft swaying of the Spanish moss in the trees, the lanterns and the candles giving everything a soft glow. I remember when I saw it in the movies for the first time, Kirsten Dunst made my breath catch in my throat when she stormed into the room with her "...which one of you did it!" line.

I was never a big fan of Cruise as Lestat, as I read the books years before the movie came out, but he definitely made it work and made the character his own. The only thing I think kept putting me off (and I'm going by memory here, I may be mistaken) was Cruise's lack of an accent for Lestat.

But, yeah. Definitely one of my favorite vampire movies. My all time favorite? Icon love, of course. ;)
