Sandra Bullock is delightful and charming to watch in While You Were Sleeping, a nice little romantic comedy from 1995. While not necessarily a huge favorite, this movie is pleasant and all about happily ever after. It shows a fairly average woman who wants nothing more than …

36 years ago a wacky cult movie called I Drink Your Blood, about hippies in an isolated area infected with rabies going on a rampage, delighted audiences with its audacious and over the top wackiness.
