Sarah (7800 KP) rated The Lost Boys (1987) in Movies

A cult classic
The Lost Boys is known as rather a cult classic, and justifiably so. It might be over 30 years old now but it can still put modern day vampire films to shame.
It's undeniably 80s, but that's part of it's charm. It's atmospheric with a great soundtrack and a rather impressive cast. Vampires have been done to death over the past however many decades but The Lost Boys really brings a fun yet still fairly scary take on them - there's loads of dark humour in this and yet some pretty creepy scenes too and some twists and turns. It moves at a steady pace without ever dragging, and the final act is an aamzing spectacle- the blood, gore and outlandish deaths are both genius and wickedly funny. My only criticism would be that there are a few cliched and cringey moments, but fortunately these are few and far between and overall this is a hugely enjoyable and entertaining vampire film. Very deserving of being a cult classic.

Classic children's story about friendship and loss
I shed so many tears reading this as a kid. It's a great book for children exploring loss, and unlikely friendship. Even though I hate spiders, Charlotte is wonderful, attempting to aid her friend Wilbur the pig from being slaughtered. A heartwarming, bittersweet tale.

80's Classic
One of those cool 80's films that was something totally different. Two teenage boys manage to programme the perfect woman into their computer, little did they expect for her to become real. So funny, very cool film. If you like Ferris Bueller's day off check this out.

Coming of age story. (2 more)
20th century classic read.
It's written as a narrative from the main character 'Holden Caulfield', which gives it interest.
I first read this book over 30 years ago! Its a tale of a depressed teenage boy, flunking another school, cynical and disliking of most of society!
