The Wraith (1986)

Sherilyn Fenn and Charlie Sheen in The Wraith. New Century Vista Film Company

Charlie Sheen is best remembered for ’80s movies like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Wall Street, but around the same time he made this quietly awesome movie about a mysterious entity — possibly an alien? — that uses a Dodge M4S Turbo Interceptor to fight back against road racing bullies in an isolated Arizona town. Sheen plays mysterious new kid in town Jake.

The totally awesome cast includes a pre-Twin Peaks Sherilyn Fenn as a high schooler who takes an interest in Jake, Randy Quaid as the sheriff, Nick Cassavetes as the main bad guy, and Clint Howard as… “Rughead.” If you love desert backroads and fast cars, this is the movie for you. It wasn’t a hit but it holds up very well.
