Most cinema goers who were around during the 90s remember Cruel Intentions. The film loosely remade Dangerous Liaisons within a prep-school setting and featured steamy performances from Ryan Phillippe and Sarah Michelle Gellar. While the film garnered a cult following, it could not keep the sequel, Cruel Intentions 2, from going straight-to-video.
