In the 90s we loved to watch cheeky smart-ass hipster teens get hunted and killed, we loved it so much! Scream is the one everyone loves to cite (and is a true classic) but I want to highlight a personal favorite of mine: THE FACULTY.
The teachers are basically possessed and trying to kill all the students, and our motley crue of unlikely friends (the nerd and the jock and the punk rock misfit girl CAN’T be friends, can they?!) try to stop them. Sorta like The Breakfast Club as a slasher film. Sorta.
Josh Hartnett was never hotter than he was in this movie- I think he let a kindergartener cut his hair- and late 90s faves like Clea Duvall, Sean Hatosy and Jordana Brewster (where are they now?!!?) were in it. Not to mention Salma Hayek, Famke Janssen, Elijah Wood, Usher and..Jon Stewart (who is quickly becoming the patron saint of The Real 90s. Is there a new version of the Kevin Bacon Game that can be done with..Jon Stewart?!? Food for thought).
Important: When Hartnett rips the slicer of the paper-cutter [jeez..I bet those aren’t allowed in schools anymore, right?] to use as a machete (HOT), Famke’s looks as shy hot teacher/hot for teacher (her bangs were also cut by the 5 yr old hair stylist that did Hartnett). [I tried to insert a great pic here but Tumblr sorta sucks ass a little bit and so click HERE to see Famke], Clea Duvall’s eyemakeup.
“THESE SIX STUDENTS WON’T JUST QUESTION AUTHORITY, THEY’LL HAVE TO DESTROY IT” Uh doy, welcome to my LIFE, movie announcer guy!
