My mother was super into the movie and I can see why.

[Tabonga | 2,317]

I gave it a 7 - overall it was good and benefited from a great supporting cast.  Jason Patric and Keifer Sutherland just didn't quite seem to gel in their roles - their performances weren't bad but seemed somewhat out of place in the movie.

It also had to face (and try to overcome) the inevitable comparison to Near Dark released in the same year - pretty hard to compete with Henricksen, Paxton and Goldstein's chemistry bouncing up from their appearance in Aliens.

9/10 for me. Loved this movie growing up and it has a great cast. I watched it again with some friends about 3 months ago because they hadn't seen it and it definitely still holds up. Crazy sax guy is as awesome as I remembered.

I know you don't watch movies but you should definitely watch this one.

It's on the list but I just never get in the mood for... whatever that is.

You just need to get one of these and equip it when watching a movie.

The only dreamboat Corey I need.

[a3quit4s | 4,097]

7/10. I really like it but would probably recommend other 80’s movies to people. 

[Gentlegamer | 172]

Best vampire movie of all time.

Im Way more Haim than Feldman.  But Anthony Michael Hall is who I really look like. 16 candles era. 
 

Ive never seen this movie, but I make a point to see anything with one of the “Corey”s in it when possible, queuing it up now!

[JamesRobot | 5,800]

Lost Boys is a 20.  That's 10 for each Corey.

This is one of those movies I've always heard a lot about and want to see, but that I've never come across anywhere. I've never seen it running on TV back in the days, and I've never seen it on any streaming service. I've not even seen DVDs or BluRays for sale.

So yeah, it's something I want to see, but there's a limit to how out of my way I'm gonna go to do so.

Reportedly a really cool guy too. He's been doing a lot of collaboration work recently.

Yep, it’s a good movie but Near Dark is better.

I haven't seen it in ages. I remember it having a lame deus ex machina ending.

4k disc just came out last year and it is streaming on Tubi

[AirVillain | 488]

8.

Good-Great, but not one of the greatest ever.

Classic, but not ULTRA classic, 80's. 

Good stuff all around and a fun experience, though.
