 The Lost Boys (1987)
"You're a creature of the night, Michael. Wait till Mom
hears about this!"
The Lost Boys kick-started the late 80s rethink of what
was cool for movie-going youth. Forget wearing a "Choose
Life" T-Shirt and baggy white pants, and instead follow the
pre-grunge stylings of Kiefer Sutherland and his gang of sexy-cool
vampire bikers.
Jason Patric sporting women's sunglasses also eluded to
overtones of restlessness, rebellion and, above all, sex.
Director Joel Schumacher never hit these heights again
(although Falling Down had the juice!).
"Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never
die. It's fun to be a vampire"
