buffy
the

Joss
Whedon;

Fran
Rubel
Kazui
Containing:
Kristy
Swanson,
Luke
Perry,
Rutger
Hauer,
Hilary
Swank,
Paul
Reubens
Buffy
creator,
Joss
Whedon
coined
this
Valley-Girls-Victimizing-Vampires
idea
to
the
big
screen
five full-years
before
it
was
adapted
onto
the
boob
tube.
With
a
cast
to
die
for
(including
Hilary
Swank's
feature
debut!),
this
early-90s,
back-to-high-skool,
fang-fest
has
wonderful
comic
timing
and
has
been
sadly
overlooked,
even
by
Buffy
fans!
Due to the short length, the feature will be preceded
by
a
huge
mouthful
of
90s
high-skool
trailers. 35mm
print.
86
minutes.
P.S.
Brace
yourself
for
Paul
Reuben's
show
stealing
performance!

+ juliet (1996)
Written
by Craig
Pierce & Baz
Luhrman;
Directed
by Baz
Luhrman
Containing:
Leonardo
DiCaprio,
Claire
Danes,
John
Leguizamo, Paul
Rudd
 + 
Baz Luhrman's
adaptation
of Shakespeare's
tragic
teen trauma
is
sooo perfectly
the 90s,
you might
not be
prepared
for how
much
nostalgia
it'll
spark in
you! (Yes,
it
was
released
12 years
ago!)
Hawaiian
shirts,
amped-up
editing
and lil'
Leo
doing his
best to
make sense
of
love in
Los Angeles,
all highlighted
by the soundtrack
of 90s
teen
flicks
including
Garbage,
Butthole
Surfers,
The Cardigans,
Radiohead
and everyone's
favorite
breakup
song by
Des'ree.
Don't miss
your chance
to fall
in love
with
the 90s.
Preceded
by some
killer
90s teen
trailers.

- starship
troopers (1997)
Written

Paul
Verhoeven

Casper

Misunderstood
by
nearly
every
critic
upon
release
over
a
decade
ago,
Paul
Verhoeven's
follow-up
to
SHOWGIRLS
ranks
up
there
with
Stanley
Kubrick's
DR.
STRANGELOVE
as
the
greatest
satire
about
war
ever
made.
Hyper-violent
and
hypnotically
subversive,
this
facist-allegory
brilliantly
uses
90210-type
acting
to
emphasize
the
cluelessness
of
1990s
youth,
while
eerily
exposing
