So, it's a black leather kind of night.
We started off with Blade, the first of the Wesley Snipes trilogy.
I've already watched one of the movies in the series, and I'd seen this in the theater- it still holds up.
Wesley Snipes plays a vampire hunter affected by a vampires bite in utero- an attack against his mother. As such, he's got all the strengths of a vampire but none of the weaknesses.
Armed with a pair of awesome sunglasses and a samurai sword, Blade takes on the the forces of Deacon Frost, an ambitious vampire looking to rise in the vampire heirarchy.
It's a fun action movie with perhaps one of the best openings sequences in not just any vampire movie, but action movies as well- check it out here.
Underworld. It's one of those movies I'm sort of annoyed at liking. It is, for all intents and purposes, Romeo and Juliet with Vampires and Werewolves.

And Kate Beckinsdale in body hugging battle-fetish leather as a Death Dealer for her vampire clan, an enforcer tasked to kill Werewolves due to a centuries old rivalry. She falls for a guy who's the last of the werewolf bloodline without the abilities- until he's bit by one. Lots of kickass.
Both movies are more action than horror, highly stylized action, which made for a terrifically escapist few hours. If you've got netflix, queue them up to arrive at the same time- best time's a friday night. Trust me on this.
