Ah man, the first couple Hammer Dracula's are some of my favorite vampire movies out there (specifically Horror of Dracula and Dracula, Prince of Darkness.)  They got pretty cheesy after that, but Lee was always boss. He also played the Monster in Curse of Frankenstein (opposite the equally phenomenal Peter Cushing who was also often his primary adversary in the Dracula movies as Van Helsing.)  He also did a great job in LotR, although I could take or leave him in Star Wars (the prequels suuuuck.)  Sorry to see him go, anyways.
