Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)

Before the TV show with Sarah Michelle Gellar, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a rather strange movie in with Valley girl cheerleader Buffy (Kristy Swanson) battles vampires. The cast alone makes it well worth a watch: It features Luke Perry, Rutger Hauer, Donald Sutherland, and Paul Reubens in a defiantly different role than the Pee-wee Herman persona for which the late, great actor was best known.

The TV version of Buffy was creator Joss Whedon’s attempt to redo an idea he felt went a little off-track in execution, but give everyone involved an A for effort.
