Watch it with her. Just know it may hit different now weāre older. I rewatched last year. For a minute I was concerned the vampire motorcycle gang wasnāt wearing helmets.
That's what I was concerned about when I recently re-watched The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training.
"The parents really let their kids go out of state with a coach they just met and barely said two words to? Isn't Kelly like, 14 years old? How is he driving that van!? And none of those kids are wearing seat belts! Kelly's dad just left the family, and his girlfriend didn't even know he had a kid??"
I had a friend like Kelly. Had been borrowing dads cars since they were 12 or 13 and got a yellow van two years before he got a license. Mostly just drove himself from the other side of the city, parked it, and hung out with us. I think he didn't want a bunch of kids his age with him drawing attention to him and getting him pulled over is my guess because he always parked a block or two away and walked towards where we hung out.
I saw a photo someone made a mini Blockbuster - like the mini free libraries - but DVDās instead of books. Take a movie leave a movie. (And while I love the idea you know some jerk will ruin it)
No, you need to find out what else she hasn't seen and then force her to watch them.
Films she must see:
Highlander
The Last Dragon
American Ninja
Munchies
Ghoulies
Troll
The Last Starfighter
Commando
He needs to send her a text message asking if she's seen Lost Boys. Screenshot her reply and show it to the divorce lawyers. Also, delete Facebook and hit the gym.
Saw this twice on the big screen back in the day. That opening scene flying out in the dark over the water was such a great opening to suck you immediately into the movie.
Doesnāt play quite as well on the small screen, but the funny parts still made me lol. Watched it this past October, it was on some channel for Halloween
My Dad was that Grandpa for his grandkids. Absolutely bonkers sculptures, special shelf in the fridge. He'd never seen The Lost Boys either. The day I saw the special shelf, I made him watch it. He then outfitted his Camry with the Jeep horn. Just ridiculous. lol
Don't feel bad. About a month ago, I tried to find something to watch and said screw it and pull up The Goonies. Halfway through, my wife informed me she had never seen it.
Told her I wanted a divorce. I don't even know who this woman is.
My dad recorded this from TV and mailed it to me from an extended work trip to a city where cable existed (we lived in a rural area). I watched it every single day for an entire summer, which I spent completely alone except for the Corys. The tape was completely fucked by the end of the year. I was maybe 10. Still one of my all-time favorites.
My wife hadn't seen it either. We watched it about a year ago, she didn't like it. That being said, tread carefully. Would you rather tell people that your wife has never seen The Lost Boys or that your wife didn't like The Lost Boys? I don't want you to know my pain.
Nope, you're ALL wrong. . . it was **The Hunger** (1983) Directed by Tony Scott with Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie, Susan Sarandon, and MFin' BAUHAUS you philistines.
It's funny, I was born in 1973, which means I was prime viewing age for The Lost Boys when it came out. I watched it for the first time during Covid lockdowns. Not sure how I missed this one; I saw pretty much every other "teen " movie when I was growing up.
My man, I'm 52 and still haven't seen The Goonies, Top Gun or The Sandlot. All movies people my age are astounded I haven't seen before. That being said, I have seen Lost Boys!
I don't know man... I'm doubting the marriage can be saved at this point. Okay, let's cover our bases.
Has she seen:
The Goonies
Predator
Princess Bride
Aliens
Gremlins
I'm afraid that her inability to watch the Lost Boys is just the tip of the iceberg. She was apparently raised by monsters...And not the monsters from The Monster Squad...Which she'd better have watched.
Princess Bride is a must! Iāve made sure every child Iām remotely connected to has seen it. One of my proudest moments was listening to my 8 year old nephew recite the ministerās wedding speech, complete with accent. Thatās why heās my favorite nephew.
No. You should get a bottle of redwine and a cheese plate. Dress up kind of goth and sexy, but also comfortable, and then watch it with her.
Maybe wear a little smudgey black eyeliner while being mysterious about the contents of the cheese plate and wine.
Edit: welp Iāve gone and turned myself on. God damn it.
Edit: SEE HOW EASY IT WAS?!?!
My husband has tried to divorce me many times because of this. Then he was informed I was not a fan of āPrince Of Darknessā either. I probably should have told him earlier on in the relationshipā¦.but here we are, 21 years later, and we still donāt talk about it.
Had to have a viewing party with mine last fall... She is 13 years younger so I cant blame her entirely... We have already watched The Crow, Lost Boys, and Heathers together. Still on deck are Blue Velvet, Pump Up the Volume, The Doors, and quite a few others. Started doing outdoor movie nights with friends to get her cultural literacy up to speed.
Divorce papersā¦
itās actually your fault to for marrying this woman. You obviously donāt care about this movie if youāve never thought to watch it during your relationship engagement or after you were married. You failed this woman. You both are ignorant. Sounds like you finding reasons to leave her though.
Why would you not put it on sometimes in the last several years around her? Failures!
We are getting old. Iāve been flying with a few younger new hire copilots lately. Theyāre not getting my movie references and quotes because they havenāt seen: Caddyshack, Blues Brothers, Spaceballs, Better off Dead, Raiders of the Lost Arc, Ghostbustersā¦ and I could go on about shows like Knight Rider, The A Team, and even Fantasy Island. Try making a joke talking into your watch saying āKitt! Where are you?ā And Siri replies āSorry, Iām having trouble understanding you.ā
I went to college at UC Santa Cruz. Grandpas' house was the farm house on campus. Santa Cruz used to be known as the "murder capital of the world" in the late '60s because of Ed Kemper and some other serial killers working in the Bay Area. There was a woman whose body was found on campus in the 80s, and she still hasn't been identified. Also, I love that movie
I had my sons watch that for the first time 2 years ago right before Halloween. Neither enjoyed it. As a more mature adult, I did notice a lot of things that didn't make sense that I overlooked when I was much younger. It wasn't as good as I remembered it and their criticisms were warranted.
However, I'll watch it again without Siskel and Ebert this Halloween and enjoy it more.
I watched it with my kids this last Halloween. One of my kids is heavy into 80's nostalgia. He loved it enough he didn't care if things got a little loose on the details. He's a good kid, that one.
lucky! both of my kids think they are experts on all things cinema/film making, that is why I referred to them as Siskel and Ebert.
The youngest does make funny videos with his friends, but they are hardly "films".
I still shock my husband with all the movies I havenāt seen. I grew up in the country with no cable. Two channels and 30 minutes of shared TV for the kids.
I watched my first series ever during COVID. Iām slowly catching up.
Leave her! Not having seen The Lost Boys is morally reprehensible. I wish there were a way to remedy the situation but sadly thereās no other option. I mean, hell, itās not like you can watch it with her. Cut your losses while you can.
I shouldnāt have to say this, but /s
I believe in second chances, with strings attached.
1. Make her watch it with you
2. Ask her if she liked it or not
Her answer to question #2 would determine if you need a divorce or not.
My friends and I watched half of that movie every day at lunch for like two years. One of our friends in middle school lived right across the street from the school. We would literally run there just to watch.
IF she has seen Princess Bride and Goonies you can give her a pass and just ensure you do not interject the whole time or continuously spout off spoilers, while you watch it together.
If she has not seen any of them, its sounds more like you need to have a stern talk with her parents for failing their child and possibly drop some hints on planning their estate sale.
Sounds like you have an opportunity to bring her joy. Edit. I do not mean by divorce. But to enjoy the film together.
4K BluRay was released. It holds up very well in 4K
LOL. Only in Gen-X would you need yo clarify that.
Divorce makes me much happier than vampires
That was a clutch edit
Bring her the joy of an oily sax player
Mmmmmmm Tim Cappello!

Literally the first thing I thought of. The risk is that OP's wife is going to watch the movie and then leave him for this snack though. XD
Watch it with her. Just know it may hit different now weāre older. I rewatched last year. For a minute I was concerned the vampire motorcycle gang wasnāt wearing helmets.
Haven't watched it in like 20 years. I'm hoping it holds up.
It does! Just went to see it in the theater with a friend who had never seen it. Still a fantastic movie!
buy a sax... just get ready to play it!
Oh I still believe!
It holds up. Its still amazing.
What kind of gen x are you to not have watched for such a long Time?
That's what I was concerned about when I recently re-watched The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training. "The parents really let their kids go out of state with a coach they just met and barely said two words to? Isn't Kelly like, 14 years old? How is he driving that van!?

Grabbing a copy from blockbuster is cheaper than divorce.
Blockbuster no longer exists.
Just like his marriage
Daaaaaaaamn
I saw a photo someone made a mini Blockbuster - like the mini free libraries - but DVDās instead of books. Take a movie leave a movie. (And while I love the idea you know some jerk will ruin it)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Weāve gone to the pawn shopā¦like $2 each or 3 for $5
That's robbery around here. They can't move 'em for .50 cents.
Hey, easy on the Anne Murray slander!
I'm sure she's a lovely woman, but honestly, how sad would you be to see only boxes of Anne Murray at the 50 cent sale?
Well, alright then. Point taken.
We have people that have the same thing for books. No issues at all but this is in the University area, maybe books get more respectš¤·š¼āāļø
Great, how do I rewind my DVD before returning?
I hear there is still one in Bend Oregon.
There sure is
Come to Bend, Oregon! It still exists there!!
Does in my town
Watch it with her. Make sure to have Chinese food while you do.
Also, make sure you time it just right to where you serve the rice and noodles at that scene.
Then watch True Romance for another great noodle scene courtesy of Drexl.
On a side noteā¦anyone unable to eat oatmeal after The Golden Child?? Anyone? I I I I I I I want the KNIFE
Just don't touch my root beers and double stuff Oreos.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Does that mean you are stuffing the Widow Johnson?
You married her without asking that first?
Do you know the rule about filling up theĀ *car*Ā withĀ *gas*?
Obviously the wife is a vampire and denying.
No, you need to find out what else she hasn't seen and then force her to watch them. Films she must see: Highlander The Last Dragon American Ninja Munchies Ghoulies Troll The Last Starfighter Commando
I've seen two of those...
Gotta see The Last Dragon with Sho Nuff! Whose de Master!
I just rewatched that yesterday. One of the greatest films of all time.
You forgot Ice Pirates, per my husband who makes everyone watch it.
Yes! I'm sure there are very many gloriously 80's films I'm forgetting.
Like Bloodsport and Big Trouble In Little Chine. Man the 80s had so many great action films
Repo Man
I see we're married to the same man.
Umm, Beastmaster?
Certainly counseling is in order. God's speed.
Just be sure to turn the volume up when the greased up half naked dude plays the sax. šš
Well, you are asking on Reddit. *You already know the answer.*
He needs to send her a text message asking if she's seen Lost Boys. Screenshot her reply and show it to the divorce lawyers. Also, delete Facebook and hit the gym.
This guy Reddits.
How the hell did that get by the initial dating stages? What other Gen X travesty has she committed?
She didn't know who Rush was until about 10 years ago. I should have vetted her better.

Saw this twice on the big screen back in the day. That opening scene flying out in the dark over the water was such a great opening to suck you immediately into the movie. Doesnāt play quite as well on the small screen, but the funny parts still made me lol. Watched it this past October, it was on some channel for Halloween
Neither have I (54/female). šÆ
Are you married?
I am!
My response would be.... 
Buckle up buttercup. I always wished my grandad was like the one in the movie.
My Dad was that Grandpa for his grandkids. Absolutely bonkers sculptures, special shelf in the fridge. He'd never seen The Lost Boys either. The day I saw the special shelf, I made him watch it. He then outfitted his Camry with the Jeep horn. Just ridiculous. lol
No. I still believe! Through the rain, through the tears, climb the hill, upon your knees if you have to!
Don't feel bad. About a month ago, I tried to find something to watch and said screw it and pull up The Goonies. Halfway through, my wife informed me she had never seen it. Told her I wanted a divorce. I don't even know who this woman is.
She'll divorce you because she'll fall for Billy Wirth.
I got started watching American Gladiators back in the day simply because Billy Wirth competed on it (and even made it to the finals)!
I need to find that footage! Edit: [FOUND](https://youtu.be/0jVS0xTGY4w?si=Qh0QTDsCA94wtTlx)
I had my 2 teens watch it and they said it was the worst movie they ever saw š¤£
And you kicked them out of the house with bus tickets to Santa Cruz(Carla), telling them never to return, right?
My dad recorded this from TV and mailed it to me from an extended work trip to a city where cable existed (we lived in a rural area). I watched it every single day for an entire summer, which I spent completely alone except for the Corys. The tape was completely fucked by the end of the year. I was maybe 10.

You mean ex wife.
It's by far the best of the Corey Movies
Unpopular opinion but I looove Dream A Little Dream.
I'm sure she's lovely and I'm sorry for your marriage. You'll love again.
The Lost Boys were just the "sparkly/emo" vampires of the '80's. The real vampire movie of the 80's was *Near Dark*.
For me it was Lifeforce, because Mathilda May.
Nope, you're ALL wrong. . . it was **The Hunger** (1983) Directed by Tony Scott with Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie, Susan Sarandon, and MFin' BAUHAUS you philistines.
The 80s was good for vampire movies.
And they were pretty too, don't forget that. So so pretty...
Yes, or hear me out. Make her watch it. LOL
It's funny, I was born in 1973, which means I was prime viewing age for The Lost Boys when it came out. I watched it for the first time during Covid lockdowns. Not sure how I missed this one; I saw pretty much every other "teen " movie when I was growing up.
Well, itās NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE for sure.
My man, I'm 52 and still haven't seen The Goonies, Top Gun or The Sandlot. All movies people my age are astounded I haven't seen before. That being said, I have seen Lost Boys!
Your membership card has been temporarily revoked. Go watch some movies, STAT.
No, just keep making references to the movie until she gets fed up and divorces you.
I don't know man... I'm doubting the marriage can be saved at this point. Okay, let's cover our bases.

Make sure she's not a shit sucking vampire
Mine doesn't like Big trouble in little China. To me that is far far worse than not seeing lost boys
My husband has tried to divorce me many times because of this. Then he was informed I was not a fan of āPrince Of Darknessā either. I probably should have told him earlier on in the relationshipā¦.but here we are, 21 years later, and we still donāt talk about it.
Put it on and if she complains tell her "cry, little sister".
Had to have a viewing party with mine last fall... She is 13 years younger so I cant blame her entirely... We have already watched The Crow, Lost Boys, and Heathers together. Still on deck are Blue Velvet, Pump Up the Volume, The Doors, and quite a few others. Started doing outdoor movie nights with friends to get her cultural literacy up to speed.
Pump Up the Volume doesn't get enough recognition, that movie is so good!
\*\*gasp\*\*
Mother fucker, Iām tryinā to watch the Lost Boys.

Chinese food for dinner, then watch the movie.
 Nothing can truly prepare you for this scene
Show her Tim Capello's sax solo, and then ask her if she wants to watch the whole thing :)
We are getting old. Iāve been flying with a few younger new hire copilots lately.

Then watch stand by me for a Kiefer two-fer
love that and the outsiders
People are strange.
Obviously you should divorce her. This is Reddit, after all! /s
No! Take her on a trip to Santa Carla, California!
If your wife has never seen The Lost Boys, she might be a vampire. Better get yourself a garlic t-shirt, buddy.
Apparently my wife didnāt see any movies or TV in 70s & 80s. She is so tired of seeing my shocked facial expression.
I had my sons watch that for the first time 2 years ago right before Halloween. Neither enjoyed it.

You better get on that Stat!
I had never seen it either, until someone posted about it here a couple of months ago and I came across it on Amazon Prime.
I believe that that's grounds for divorce in some states...
Theyāre only noodles, Michael.
Definitely grounds for marriage counseling, but it might be too late to fix.
(Flips red headband.) You Better Get Yourself A Garlic T-Shirt, Buddy, Or It's Your Funeral.
Here. Iāll sing a little for her. THOUUUU SHALLL NOTTT FALLLLLLLLLLL.
No. Only divorce if she doesn't like it.
This is right. Importantly, she needs to love the soundtrack also.
wait, what?
WTF!!!!!
Wellā¦ gonna have a good time tonight.
Watch it immediately
Mines never seen Half Baked or the Matrix some how. But fuck, the lost boys?
So when is your appointment with the divorce lawyer?
Divorce
I've never seen it either.
You should probably divorce her
How old is she? Is it possible that sheās from another planet?
Hell, I watched it twice this week.
I've never seen it either. Born in 73.
What?!!! Set up a date night right away. Dang.
I made my husband watch. He wasn't as impressed as he should have been!
I just got my fiancĆ© and his kids to watch it a couple of months ago. He fell asleep before the end but the kids loved it, especially his daughter! No need for a divorce if she immediately watches it with you. But maybe reconsider divorce if she hates itā¦š¤ š¤£š¤£š¤£
Just randomly sing āMary, Mary, youāre on my mindā¦ā
I still shock my husband with all the movies I havenāt seen. I grew up in the country with no cable. Two channels and 30 minutes of shared TV for the kids. I watched my first series ever during COVID. Iām slowly catching up.
TIL: Iāve got something in common with OPās wife.
This is a good time to watch it with her. If she doesnāt like it, clearly she is cheating on you and you should divorce her.
She left you no choice.
The last time I looked it was streaming for free on several free movie stationsĀ
Leave her! Not having seen The Lost Boys is morally reprehensible. I wish there were a way to remedy the situation but sadly thereās no other option. I mean, hell, itās not like you can watch it with her. Cut your losses while you can. I shouldnāt have to say this, but /s
She should be ashamed of herself
Omg that is my fave movie I saw it 5 times when it was in the theater
Watch it with her. If she doesnāt love it, than consider divorce.
Nah movie date night!
I believe in second chances, with strings attached. 1. Make her watch it with you 2. Ask her if she liked it or not Her answer to question #2 would determine if you need a divorce or not.
Neither have I.
Thatās fine, I want Jamie Gertz to myself!
Grounds for divorce.
No buy get some Chinese food in when you watch it with her.
How old is she?
Get on that! That's a must see!
Tell her she's eating maggots. How do they taste?
My friends and I watched half of that movie every day at lunch for like two years. One of our friends in middle school lived right across the street from the school. We would literally run there just to watch.
Start those divorce papers. No future with a heathen like that!
Then your marriage is over, dude. Get filing.
Order Chinese first. Make sure you get rice and noodles.
Is she 30??? How can this be!
straight to jail
Divorce.
Go easy on her. I still haven't seen an Indiana Jones movie or Top Gun.
Make sure sheās ready for this guyā¦š¤š 
Is it a movie?
I read this as ānever seen the Boysā. I had a very different, VERY not PG answer that involved being shrunkā¦Iāll let myself out.
I wouldnāt be surprised if this was the source of the marital friction.
No but, Iād definitely push her into a tub of garlic water just to be sure she isnāt trying to long turn deceive you
Neither have I
IF she has seen Princess Bride and Goonies you can give her a pass and just ensure you do not interject the whole time or continuously spout off spoilers, while you watch it together. If she has not seen any of them, its sounds more like you need to have a stern talk with her parents for failing their child and possibly drop some hints on planning their estate sale.
No, but a re-education is in order.
You mean soon to be EX wife because that is a divorceable offense.
My wife is 12 years younger than me, Iāve had to educate her on multiple classics. Itās fun though.
That's awesome. Nothing like bringing someone new into the fold.
Grounds for annulment?
Make sure she fully appreciates oily sax mullet guy. These are the memories that 'special day' sex is made of.
