The Lost Boys (1987)
10/10
Don't Let The Sun Go Down On You

One of the coolest horror flicks of the 80's. Those vamps were the cool kids, and our nerdy team of slayers were the...well, nerds. Not unlike most 80's movies, really.

It has that killer soundtrack, that still kills!

Kiefer was so badass, and that hair still looks pretty great, even today. Jami Gertz is one of the all-time greatest and unheralded 80's actresses, she doesn't even seem to get mentioned much in regards to this role either. Back then, I knew her from Square Pegs. Recently, I watched two seasons of her as the human mom on the aliens-next-door sitcom, The Neighbors. She's still got it. Jason Patric is great as the tortured Michael, Haim and Feldman, in their first of several movies together, are fun to watch.

Lots of style and some substance make this a great movie. Hard to believe Joel Schumacher went on to give us Batman and Robin as well, but everyone's allowed to make mistakes, right?

I still avoid rice when ordering Chinese take-out because of this movie
