The Lost Boys (1987) - Page 4 - Blu-ray Forum

Waiting in UHD.

Luke Dodge748 · 06-14-2019, 03:57 PM

I have to imagine that a 4K UHD is on the way soon. WB has been busy with releasing 4Ks so I'm crossing my fingers... Once Gremlins was released I felt fairly confident The Lost Boys was near.

The ponytailed, saxophone-playing lead singer in this film may be the most 80s thing ever.

...the man was an oil-chested, Golden god of 80s cheese.

That's Tim Cappello. He sings the song as well. He was a sax player for Tina Turner in the 80's and 90's. I watched the film recently, having not seen it in probably 20 years and completely forgot about this scene and the song, nearly spitting out my drink when he came on-screen. This movie is really so 80's in the best way possible.

Plenty of 80s caricatures in that movie...

A new release with decent cover art would be most welcome

The BD has the original poster art.

Yeah, but it was crap then too. The bunch of them look like mates hanging out together. David and co are the enemy. The alternate original poster art was superior

No, the other theatrical poster look much better. This poster shows all of the lost boys together, not as friends and enemies. Every time I think about this movie, I wish that Corey Haim would had got himself together, and became clean and sober because he was a good actor. It's a shame that he and other very talented actors had chose to go down the wrong path of self destruction that ended in death. Corey Haim's performance stood out a lot more than the other actors in the film, and he basically carried the movie.

No! It doesn’t. Seeing as we’re being insistent. The only ‘lost boys’ are the four vampires, aka the antagonists of the movie. Star and her brother hangs with them but The frog brothers, Michael and Sam do not. This poster makes it look like a buddy road movie.

Both Corey's suffered sexual abuse from within the industry. It's hard to blame them for some of their choices, considering some of the awful sh!t they endured. However, I most certainly agree, I wish they had both been able to keep it together.

I think this is one of the most iconic movie posters in existence!

Gotta love humanity; so many different perspectives...

slimdude · 10-12-2019, 03:29 PM

This thread makes me want to watch the movie again. I think I'll put the Blu-ray in tonight.

I was only 11 when the movie came out. I can only remember that alternate art being used over here in the UK. Consequently I tend to associate that with the movie rather than the blu art.

Same. It’s simple, Keifer looks like the sinister and evil villain he is on that art. He looks like a stoner on the other one

A 4K release that is because the current Blu-ray looks pretty good upscaled. I've always liked The Lost Boys when I first saw it over 20 years ago. As far as the DTV sequels is concern, they were not so good.

MassiveMovieBuff · 10-12-2019, 04:36 PM

I've always loved this film. I watch it annually for my October horror marathon but something really clicked with me when I watched it a couple weeks ago that has really stuck with me. I've watched it 3 times in the last couple weeks.

oddbox83 · 10-12-2019, 04:38 PM

4K and Atmos please.

This has plenty of scope actually for an Atmos remix, done properly. There are lots of sequences where height channels could be used very effectively.

I just wish Warner would also start including original theatrical tracks as well.

Arawn · 10-12-2019, 04:58 PM

Back in the day I used to listen to a cassette of the soundtrack in my walkman.

Chaotic · 10-12-2019, 05:00 PM

The movie came out 3 days before i was born and its one of my favorites movies. Love the soundtrack.
