Underworld (2003)

Theatrical Poster Source: Wikipedia Despite the apparent extinction of the Lycans, the vampire clan face a renewed threat. During a routine cull on the last remaining Lycans (werewolves), Selene (Kate Beckinsale), a vampire, discovers that the Lycans have developed a new weapon for slaying their immortal enemies. After Selene's discovery is dismissed by the vampire regent (Shane Brolly), she makes a further finding when she notices that the Lycans were tracking a human, Michael Corvin (Scott Speedman). Despite the vampire legend telling of the killing of the Lycan leader (Michael Sheen) centuries ago, Selene finds him alive and well when she looks for Corvin. It seems that the battle isn't won just yet.

American History X (1998)

Theatrical Poster Source: Wikipedia A boy follows his brother's violent way of life as a neo-Nazi. After killing two black gang members that attempted to break into his car, Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton) is sent to prison leaving his mother, brother Danny (Edward Furlong) and two sisters to fend for themselves. His firefighter father died years previously when he was shot in the line of duty by other black gang members. Upon release from his three year term, Derek is horrified to find that Danny has joined the same neo-Nazi gang that he was second-in-command of. Danny clearly gets into trouble but one black teacher is willing to work with him, encouraging him to get his feelings out into an essay entitled "American History X", telling the story of his brother's introduction into the movement.

The Breakfast Club (1985)

Five teenagers who spend time in detention realise they have more in common than meets the eye. When Brian 'the Brain' Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall), Andrew 'the Athlete' Clark (Emilio Estevez), Allison 'the Basket Case' Reynolds (Ally Sheedy), Claire 'the Princess' Standish (Molly Ringwald) and John 'the Criminal' Bender (Judd Nelson) are all brought in for a Saturday detention at school, they are told they must write a 1,000 word essay about who they think they are. They initially despise the differences between themselves, but as the day moves on they realise they have more in common than they initially thought.
