Lost Boys was a great movie. Batman Forever was a letdown after Tim Burton's Batman Returns. Haven't seen any of those other movies but Flatliners looks good.

RIP

All his movies were crap with the exception of Tigerland and Phone Booth.
I will never forgive him for the abortion he did on Batman.

Falling Down was his only masterpiece.

One of the greatest movies of all time. Very relevant today.

D-Fens... All it takes is one bad day!

Flatliners was alright I guess. Lost Boys is another cult classic.

Falling down has so many epic scenes, a movie that was way ahead of it's time. My favorite ones

Did we really need Bat nipples though lol? The body fetishism displayed in some of the suit-up scenes dont scream 'kid friendly' either.

Falling Down was just another white male rage movie.
