Once Bitten (1985)

  Man, this movie is so 80's.  This is Jim Carrey's second feature film (the first was Earth Girls are Easy) and easily my favorite starring him.

Lauren Hutton stars as The Countess, a vampire searching for a virgin in 1980's LA.  She must drink from a male virgin three times before Halloween or she'll lose her beauty.  Time is running out, but then she finds Mark Kendall (Carrey), an ice-cream-truck-driving high school senior desperate to punch his V-card but unable to seal the deal with his girlfriend Robin (Karen Kopins).  The Countess embarks on turning Mark and hijinks ensue.

This is one of those goofy little dated movies that is still fun to watch.  I figured that it was a more user-friendly introduction to the type of movies I like for Rob.  He did enjoy it, so that was a plus.  It's one of my favorite comedies.
