The Lost Boys

I have this movie on VHS, so it was time for an upgrade, lol! This movie is a cult classic! The cast is excellent, Jason Patric in particular! It is smartly directed by the late, great Joel Schumacher. Everything about this movie is top notch, including the set design, cinematography, costume design, make-up and hair. The music used in this film was perfect! I also enjoyed the Special features which are on the Blu-ray disc, especially the commentary by Director Joel Schumacher. A real, iconic Vampire movie that remains one of my favorite movies of all time. I'm very happy to add this amazing 4K version of this movie to my collection!

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!!

This is an old favorite that I like to watch sometimes.

The best film Joel Schumacher ever directed and one of my favorite vampire films.

A classic movie. Great senior actors

Vampire classic. Love this movie. I have two sculpted masks from this movie. Love love.love. Michael is cool but David is the star here.

The movie is a 'classic' as they say. Not a grand peice of cinema, but a movie that catured the times and has some great music in the soundtrack. I bought it to show my kids, without the advertising, interruptions and other vagaries of streaming (also not being able to find it on any service I have access to). Good selection for a movie night.

My favorite movie.

Officieel ontwikkelt het verhaal zich als een procedureel mysterie, maar dat valt zelden op, ook omdat de invalshoek anders is. Er is zeer veel tijd besteed aan de sets, kostuums, vormgeving en het vinden van de juiste shots. De film is over het algemeen een lust voor het oog om te zien. Qua verhaalontwikkeling is het wel duidelijk Hollywood, met name dat een karakter een fout maakt en deze weer recht gezet moet worden. De atmosfeer van de film richt zich er ook op dat er sterren op het toneel staan en dat iedereen dat fantastisch vindt. Dat zijn met name het type dingen waardoor het verhaal los lijkt te staan van de werkelijkheid, ironisch genoeg dus niet het feit dat het om vampiers draait, want die zien er heel echt uit. Wel een van de betere Hollywood horror-films met de bekende plot-twist aan het einde.

申し分ない。 内容はもちろんだけど、箱もしっかりしてて満足です。

best movie ever

My girlfriend of 5 years turns to me as I made a Lost boys reference...something to do with Kiefer and vampires...so she turns to me and says I've never seen that movie...and I was like your kidding...she was like I've heard of it...so i went out and bought the blu ray immediately, its not right for someone to not see a movie about vampires in an age where vampires were scary and cool to kids, teens, adults and old people alike. I was blown away that a movie from 1987 could look so clear, it looks like they filmed it this year. As for some of the haters you see who are brainless morons trying to be stewie on family guy "its lame...its lame...everything is lame" haha those people always go to "it's soooo dated" first off, is the movie Jaws "dated" is the original star wars "DATED" Is Jimmy Hendrix or the doors "dated" just because something came out a long time ago does not diminish its impact one bit, aside from a few fashion choices the motherf*&^^er is tip-top. This is a definitive 80's movie right along side Back to the Future, Breakfast Club, Weird Science...etc. Needless to say my gf loved the film and even jumped out of her seat at one point (no spoilers) I recommend every human being see this film and enjoy the greatest vampire film of all time with Kiefer Sutherland the greatest Vamp of all-time, this is fact. Peace Y'all

One of my favorite movies. Such a gem. I love the 1980's... the music & the two Corey's. You have Alex Snow from."Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" and you have Keifer Sutherland, who plays one of the lead bad vampires. You have Jamie Gertz from "twister" and "less than zero" and that mediocre comedy show she starred in. You have the mom who was one of the aunts in "Practical Magic" and "Scissorhands" It's a classic 80's cheesy movie. Incase anyone is wondering, yes, this DVD works in Canada. Please check your region before you buy any DVD on Amazon!
