10 Great Movies Starring The How I Met Your Mother Cast

Thanks to her long-standing roles on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and How I Met Your Mother, Alyson Hannigan has always been more of a TV actress than a movie star, but that doesn't mean she hasn't made her mark on the big screen over her career.

The 1999 cult classic American Pie is a seriously iconic piece of comedy, as outrageous and crass as it awkward and hilarious.

Following a group of high school friends intent on losing their virginity before the end of high school, the film stars Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott, Mena Suvari and Eugene Levy (amongst others) and revels in its ridiculousness.

Alyson Hannigan stars in the film as Michelle, a member of the school band camp who tells inappropriate stories and proves to be a lot more than meets the eye. She has some of the film's funniest moments, and reprised her role in American Pie 2, American Wedding and American Reunion, cementing her as a great comedic star.
