False title. Of course it is

Nope, can't stand it. No idea what the big deal is and why everyone loves it so much.

BastardMonkfish · 20/08/2021 23:38

It's pish.

Durbeyfield · 20/08/2021 23:38

Good Lord, no.

LeonardoAcropolis · 20/08/2021 23:39

Hmm it's a contender for the title, but The Lost Boys is the best film ever. Fact.

Excellent film. Fun to watch. Good feminist story.

katemuff · 20/08/2021 23:42

Bad film epic finale 😂

TheRebelle · 21/08/2021 00:10

Not by a long way 😂

Galassia · 21/08/2021 00:14

Absolutely not.

Happylittlethoughts · 21/08/2021 00:14

Oh christ no! Patrick Swayze is very wooden and awkward. Fun film but on the z list

SupermanWithTheGreyHair · 21/08/2021 00:18

Its not the best film ever but I do love it. I watch it a few times a year, watched it a few weeks ago. 💃 🕺

Bazinga007 · 21/08/2021 00:19

Is this a wind up?

LobotomisedIceSkatingFan · 21/08/2021 00:25

It's a fucking dreadful film, lifted somewhat by solid central performances. Swayze was always engaging and was pretty good in this; Grey wasn't bad, and Cynthia Rhodes was excellent.

HarrietSchulenberg · 21/08/2021 00:33

Nah, it's a bag o shite. Sits in the crap bin next to Top Gun.

QuestionableMouse · 21/08/2021 00:35

Nope!

UnitedRoad · 21/08/2021 00:36

I love it

IdblowJonSnow · 21/08/2021 00:40

I love it too. Not the best though but very watchable.

I watched it with ds11 recently - I kept saying ‘tell me if you’re scared babe, it’s a bit scary.’ He laughed at literally every scary bit! Still a fantastic film, and so is Dirty Dancing, despite being a bit cheesy.
Kanaloa · 21/08/2021 00:44

That is, I watched The Lost Boys with ds, I don’t find Dirty Dancing scary.

SquirryTheSquirrel · 21/08/2021 00:49

I like the theme ('I've had the time of my life') but the film is pants - and I say that as someone who was a teenager when it came out - I remember Jackie, Blue Jeans et al being all over it (and Monsieur Swayze of course). I'm a very nostalgic person but Dirty Dancing doesn't even make my nostalgia playlist. If I want a nostalgic Patrick Swayze film I'll watch Ghost, which, while ludicrous, is at least funny thanks to Whoopi Goldberg.

For Patrick Swayze fix I'd rather watch Roadhouse 😍

sauvignonblue · 21/08/2021 01:00

Yes

disco123 · 21/08/2021 03:29

Yes! Such smoking hot chemistry between the 2 of them. Perfect coming of age movie

Chunkymenrock · 21/08/2021 03:37

I love it. It's certainly up there with the best of them!

EnjoyingTheArmoire · 21/08/2021 04:04

Not a chance.

TimeFlying · 21/08/2021 04:06

Pile. Of. Cack
