It made me recall Corey and the werewolf!  Silver Bullet, circa 1985.  That's next!

He's seen the Goonies several times.... I can't recall if he's seen Stand By Me.  Ever since he got into "Stranger Things" all these kids are into the 80's asking me questions.

Movies to watch over the holidays:

Iron Eagle

Short Circuit 

The Beast Master

What else boys?  He's seen the Back to the Futures etc.

"War Games" so he can laugh at what computers used to look like.

"Fast Times" so he can have a crush on Phoebe Cates like the rest of us did.

"48 Hours" & "Beverly Hills Cop" so he can see what Eddie Murphy did before voice over work. 

The "Lethal Weapon" and "Die Hard" franchises so he can see what action movies were like back then. 

"Young Guns" so he can relate to Chavez Y Chavez.

"Tango and Cash" so he can laugh at the 80's mullet. 

 

There may be more....

Loved The Lost Boys. Funny, just this very weekend I told my daughter the story about how what's her name was engaged to what's his name but then cheated with his costar and friend from The Lost Boys.

Ah, The Beast Master. Brings back memories when I was a kid watching HBO all day during summer break and hitting the jackpot when a PG movie showed some nekkid tittays. :wub:

If you like Beast Master you’ve got to watch Clash of the Titans and Conan the Barbarian / Destroyer.

Clash of the Titans is a classic with the Harryhausen stop motion. 

Oh, and the nekkid tittays in a PG movie.

I seem to remember some bewbs shown when Perseus is an infant breast feeding. I was 11 years old at the time so it made a strong impression!

For older teens and not as fun as The Lost Boys but I liked Near Dark, another vampire movie from the same year. 🧛‍♂️

Was Near Dark the one with Bill Paxton and Lance Henrikson (sp?) as a bunch of vampires in a van?

Yeah. It is a lot darker than The Lost Boys but definitely worth watching.
