Dracula for me. When he was written into being, he was not emo, homoerotic, sparkly, psychopathic, weak, or falling in love with his best friend.
He was total vampire - cold, sleek, totally ruthless, unless there was something he wanted. Then he pulled out the charm and manipulated his way into getting what he wanted.
Book version, of course, but the version with Gary Oldman as the Count, Keanu Reeves as Jonathan Harker, and Winona Ryder as Mina basically captured everything the book did, and also showed the subtext of a book written in late 1800's - early 1900's. Which there was a lot of.
