When I was 14 I picked up a guitar and practiced for 8 hours straight until I could play People are strange, thanks to the Lost Boys. Both of these movies have an MTV stylized quality to them that definantly caters to Gen X rs but appeals to mass audiences as well.
Caution though before adding these to Netflix: If you have a weak stomach and enjoy Chinese food or you have wronged someone in your past these movies may not be for you. However, if you are a Kiefer Sutherland fan these are pre-requisite materials and you probably already own them.

Neither one of these movies are amazing on their own. The style of the movies, the time they were released and Keifer’s brat pack ring leader image were all indegrediants that made these movies fun to be a part of watching. The casts just snapped together so wonderfully with the storylines that you forgive some of the weak points in the movies.
Overall it’s a tie Flatliners has more Goth Style and a superior premise but falls horribly flat on its 3rd act. Lost Boys has some pretty lame sequences and is a story that is extremely old and worn out, with its inventions, execution and memorable punch line the movie redeems its self to the category of must see. Joel Schumacher is famous for destroying the Batman series which is now resurrecting itself should not be forgotten for Directing both of these classics. Which is better? I can t decide.

Status: I own them
