The best place to start with Anne Rice is with her most famous work, Interview with the Vampire. From there you can decide to move on or not. I do not recomend skipping any because most of her novels (except Vittorio) are designed to fill in information from previous works.

I have to say that I am a vampire fanatic and love to read about them in both "fact" and fiction. I have been very impressed with the Anne Rice series, whom you either love or hate. Be forewarned that if you choose to proceed through the entire series, it will eventually tie in with the Lives of the Mayfair Witches. If you haven't read the Mayfair series, you may be a little lost at the end of the Vampire Chronicles. I personally enjoyed both very much.
Also, don't let the second movie fool you: it combined the Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned into 2 1/2 hours. Interview with the Vampire stayed close to the story line, but Queen of the Damned tried to put too much into too little time.
