From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

This was the first time we were introduced to the team of Quentin Tarantino (Inglorious Basterds) and Robert Rodriguez (Desperado) who would go on to collaborate on other films. While Tarantino only starred and wrote this movie, Rodriguez would direct this movie about a group of guys trapped in bar full of Vampires. Tarantino stars as Richard Gecko along with George Clooney (Oceans 11) as his brother in charge of things Seth Gecko. Together, they're running away to Mexico to meet a guy when the kidnap a former preacher played by Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs) as Jacob and his kids Kate (Juliette Lewis) and Scott (Ernest Liu). Together, they all go to a bar and wait for their guy until it becomes dark out and the vampires try to feed on them. The only question to ask is can they all survive or will they end up becoming vampires themselves? The movie also stars Selma Hayek (Desperado) as a vampire dancer named Santanico Pandemonium, Tom Savani (Land Of The Dead) as Sex Machine, Fred Williamson (Hammer) as Frost, Cheech Marin (Cheech & Chong) as three different roles, Danny Trejo (The Devil's Rejects) as Razor Charlie, and a cameo by the very hot Kelly Preston. This was George Clooney's only bad ass role in his career and I give this movie an A cause I still enjoy it.
