The Lost Boys

Great high energy movie, with great actors, great plot, great soundtrack.

Great old school movie

My favorite vampire movie of all time and the HD Cloud version only makes it better! Getting to see this in all it's fun, sexy, cool hipness at the same quality level as the original film, but on my TV, is like meeting up with David and the Boys on the Boardwalk and living to tell about it.But can I just say if you are too young to remember this movie, or haven't seen it yet, you need to fix that Cluster, and right now! I swear if I again hear the name (which I will not type here) of that film series about emo-sparkly-high school-wussy excuses for vampires, my head might explode. Seriously, even my 19-year old brother after he saw The Lost Boys, called me up on the phone and said, "OMG...this is the way all vampire movies ought to be!" Now people, you just cannot argue with a film that is so classic, SO well done and has eye candy that is SO much better (seriously) than those "new" films, that it's capable of jumping a 15+ year age gap! I'm sure it must be a personal bias (not), but I have only two real pet peeves with this film, as follows...Spoilers Alert...1. You cannot convince me for even a second that Star would have chosen Mr. Goody-two-shoes Boy Next Door (Michael) over the Sexy, Leather-Clad Bad Boy-James Dean-type on a Motorcycle (David). Nope, not buying it. (And okay, I get that it was 80s Hollywood and the villain has to bite it (ha) in the end for there to be that nice, pat happy ending everyone was expecting). ....Still so wrong. I mean, the dude had spurs on his boots, ladies. Spurs! Seriously. (And exactly WHERE do you think they got the idea for Spike later, anyway? (ala Buffy the Slayer) hmmm? Hello! Few vampires on film or TV have ever had the same intensity and screen presence that Kiefer Sutherland projected with David ...And well, the man did end up being Jack Bauer later on, so... Wow, imagine running into both of them at once? ...Um, ladies, don't answer that, this is a G-rated review (not). Yes, but I know you were thinking it, because so was I. *snort. But I digress...2. There is no way a 1/2 vampire for all of 2-days (Michael) is going to kill a full vampire (David) who has been around longer than his gang. The medals David wears on his coat (one a French Legionnaire's/Asterisk from the 5th period (1915-ish) and a British Iron Cross from WWII era, suggest he either killed officers that received them or was alive himself during those time periods). In any case, the dude is not 18, and he's not a young vampire, either. And what's with the antelope horns? A proposed sequel with Schumacher directing had David surviving that experience and returning in a subsequent film, because horns are not made of wood, after all, and because well, he is a bad*ss (stoopid Star). Too bad the originally planned sequel never got made since #2 and #3 did not live up to even the shadow of the original film.But despite these minor peeves, I adore this movie for so many reasons. So much so that my friends and I even started a SmartMob event to meet each July on the Boardwalk where the filming was done in Santa Cruz, CA (better known in the movie as Santa Carla)... just for the fun of it. Our group is LostBoysReturn. And we sure wish they could! Because there will never be anyone like Sammy, the Frog Bros., David and the Boys, Michael, Star, Lucy, Max, and Grandpa on film again... the movie was so well cast and so well acted that it's still timeless and a fabulously good time. If you haven't seen it yet, get on that, you're missing out!To say that I think the director, Joel Schumacher is a genius is an understatement. Give that man a medal... just not one of David's, please. A fun piece of trivia about this 1987 flick: When Joel Schumacher was shooting this film, the studio kept asking him, "Are you making a horror film or a comedy?" and he would always just say, "Yes." Priceless.Now, I have only one last thing to say to all you "then and now" vampire lovers out there: If David and Edward both walked through a spider web, David would make a snack of the spider and Edward would drop his sparkle and scream like a girl! Team David, I say!!

I saw this movie way back when it first came out & it was great, watched it several times. I had to rent it this time but I'm not complaining.

Perfect! Especially loved that this particular blue ray comes with deleted scenes as a bonus feature

Bought this cause it's a classic with good soundtrack. Great all star cast with pretty decent storyline and graffics considering when it was made. Definitely a must to add to any collection.

Great movie for the time, it’s a classic watch!

I'm telling you right now, this is the best 4K transfer I have seen yet from any 80's film. It's flawless. It's a must own, just wish it had the original poster on it. It's an iconic film, this cover is not.
