The Lost Boys is one of those movies that doesn't hold up under intense scrutiny, but it's a heck a lot of fun, regardless. I love the lines you quoted. I'll also add "It's the attack of Eddie Munster!" to the mix. <br />Barry P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11251536316431708240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-76216945923478147112013-04-20T12:01:12.260-04:002013-04-20T12:01:12.260-04:00It was the hair of the guys, who now look like som...It was the hair of the guys, who now look like some wannabe metal heads, that amused me the most. I've never been known to be fashionable, the benefit of which means I never dressed or had hair like that back then.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-6851471857630807492013-04-19T13:54:08.271-04:002013-04-19T13:54:08.271-04:00Yup, I'm old enough to have had big hair in th...Yup, I'm old enough to have had big hair in the 80's. :-) Everyone I see a woman, in a film, with a similar hairstyle, I laugh. This is a fun movie, in my opinion, and I find it highly rewatchable. I agree that the death by stereo scene was the best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-50791874579189789732013-04-18T19:16:01.844-04:002013-04-18T19:16:01.844-04:00I've watched it now and then over the years (i...I've watched it now and then over the years (including just this morning before I wrote my review), so I think I've gotten used to the hokier parts of it. If I had not seen it for 25 years I'm sure it would have been more of a shock to me.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-73174391185832772622013-04-18T19:14:38.372-04:002013-04-18T19:14:38.372-04:00I didn't realize the sax guy had been a member...I didn't realize the sax guy had been a member of her backup band. He did have a lot of muscles.<br /><br />In the post I just named the songs I remembered hearing on the radio after the movie was released. There are several others on the soundtrack. Also in the film, but not on the soundtrack, is the Aerosmith/Run DMC collaboration on Walk This Way.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-62039528716940413112013-04-18T19:12:16.525-04:002013-04-18T19:12:16.525-04:00I think this is definitely the kind of movie that ...I think this is definitely the kind of movie that might be hit or miss with some people, depending on when they see it.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-73814955217233657012013-04-18T17:37:47.410-04:002013-04-18T17:37:47.410-04:00I just bought a copy of this.

I'm certain it's not as good as I think it is, but I love it just the same.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-11512127154747009242013-04-18T17:26:45.856-04:002013-04-18T17:26:45.856-04:00You forgot to mention "I Still Believe" ...You forgot to mention "I Still Believe" originally by The Call, done on the soundtrack by Tina Turner's Herculean sax guy. <br /><br />I used to have the movie and the soundtrack, but alas, no longer.Retro Houndhttp://www.retrohound.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-15232665019796238012013-04-18T15:44:08.617-04:002013-04-18T15:44:08.617-04:00Not as great as I thought it would be(watched in m...Not as great as I thought it would be(watched in my late 20s), but it does have atmosphere, and a nostalgic value for those who grew up with it. I also enjoyed the soundtrack quite a bit. You could be right, that it was an influence on other horror stuff.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.com
