(Finished September 22nd, 2018) themusicaddict's Top 16 Greatest 80s Soundtracks #10 "The Lost Boys"

Hello,

I've been working on the Top 16 80's soundtrack countdown since July. I'm now up to the Top Ten with the excellent film "The Lost Boys":

One of the best things about 80's movies is the zany humor, actual stories (not just a bunch of explosions) and the requisite babe. The gorgeous Jami Gertz more than held up her part in this regard:

From Wikipedia.org:

The Lost Boys is a 1987 American horror comedy film directed by Joel Schumacher, starring Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Corey Feldman, Dianne Wiest, Edward Herrmann, Alex Winter, Jamison Newlander, and Barnard Hughes.

The film is about two brothers who move to California and end up fighting a gang of young vampires. The title is a reference to the Lost Boys in J. M. Barrie's stories about Peter Pan and Neverland, who, like the vampires, never grow up.

The film was followed by two direct-to-video sequels, Lost Boys: The Tribe and Lost Boys: The Thirst and spawned a franchise with the same name.

These are the best songs from this movie:

1) INXS and Jimmy Barnes "Good Times":

2) Lou Gramm "Lost In The Shadows":

3) Roger Daltrey "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me":

Not the best song, but it's good enough. 4) INXS and Jimmy Barnes "Laying Down The Law":

5) Echo and the Bunnymen "People Are Strange":

6) Gerard McMann's "Cry Little Sister (Theme From The Lost Boys)":

7) Eddie and the Tide "Power Play":

8) Tim Cappello "I Still Believe":

9) Mummy Calls "Beauty Has Her Way":

Again a good enough song. 10) Thomas Newman's "To The Shock of Miss Louise":

Up next a movie featuring a California love story based loosely on Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet".
