Either way I think we can both agree on a matter for once!

Why do so many people not like The Lost Boys.

No. It simply isn't possible that anyone could think The Lost Boys a better film than Near Dark. The Lost Boys is rubbish.

I'm onto you, Rik!

Reverse the films and that is my opinion
For me, Lost Boys is one of the films I used to watch regularly as a kid, along with Ghostbusters, The Goonies, Big Trouble in Little China, Gremlins etc. Near Dark I only saw for the first time about 10 years ago and despite owning it and watching it a few times over the last few years, I just don't see what the big deal is, I find it quite boring, but that's just my opinion.
Plus The Lost Boys has one of the best soundtracks of any film from the 80's

Actually, I must confess that I think Near Dark is very over-rated. It veers a bit too close to angsty soap opera at times. Still like it though.

For The Lost Boys I just cannot see any appeal.

In all fairness, despite being about vampires NEAR DARK and LOST BOYS are two entirely different films. Near dark is a modern day western/road movie with vampires playing (mostly) seriously, while Lost boys is a decidedly eighties horror comedy in the mould of a lot of teen/kids movies with vamps added. I think its legitimate to like both films for different reasons.
