Is that garlic I smell or just 80’s movie greatness? The Lost Boys stands on its own in the vampire genre, but it was also such an “80’s movie.” Who thought vampires could be so hip? Wait, is it hip to say hip? I don’t care, the vampires in this flick were cool, even the dude from the Bill and Ted movies.
The Lost Boys soundtrack was great as well. In fact, if you saw this movie back in the 80’s, it was a pretty sure bet that you also bought the soundtrack. At least that was the case with people I knew. I wonder how many of you bought this soundtrack? (hint hint)
The Lost Boys helped launch the careers of Jason Patric, who went on to star in Speed 2: Cruise Control, and Kiefer Sutherland, who starred in The Cowboy Way. There were also two guys named Corey in this flick - they have a reality show on A&E now. I know, they’ve all done other work as well, but sometimes I can’t control my sarcastic inner voice.
One final note - this flick has a great ending. For those of you who haven’t seen it (come on!), I won’t spoil it, I will just say that the grandpa has a great line in the last scene.
Hey, it’s October and Halloween is closing in on us fast, why not see The Lost Boys again (or for the first time)? We’ll get to the scary stuff at the end of the month.
Be sure to check back here on Monday for No. 88 in my Top 100 Movies list. Have a great weekend!
