Master of Nuhn Thu, 24th Aug '06, 10:17pm 5. From Dusk Till Dawn That's the Vampire movie with George Clooney, right? I think that one would be in my Bottom 5 movies.
I have only seen the last half, I see. I heard the change from Bankrobery-movie to Vampire-slaying is interesting. But since I have only seen the vampire-part, I thought it to be munchy
