Lol, I've met members of the Luton Vampire Society. Nutters, the lot of them. I mean, vampires are potentially cool story devices but I wouldn't base my life on them.
What 3 did you pick? I'd say Interview With The Vampire and the Blade movies were good.
I think I should've used the term "great" rather than "good".
My three? The original 1922 Murnau "Nosferatu", the 2001 animated short-feature "Blood: The Last Vampire" (running at only 45 minutes, including the closing credits), and the 2000 film "Shadow of the Vampire".
This isn't to say that I dislike all other vampire films- I do make a distinction between "great" and "entertaining". A great film is intelligent, artistically motivated, and well-produced. An entertaining film isn't essentially bad, and they can very well be good, but a lack of one of the previously mentioned features keeps it from being great. I was entertained by the Blade films, the first Underworld movie, The Hunger, and a handful of others.
To be more distinct-
Total Vampire films seen ~ 50
Number of them I'd consider great = 3
Number I'd consider entertaining, and good ~ 10
Number I'd consider bad ~ The rest
