I am either lucky or unfortunate to have not seen either 'Dream Machine' (1990) or 'Fast Getaway' (1991) yet. Are they any good? Do I need not bother to seek them out?

I love his early work, and I am hoping they are more than just watchable at least. Cheers for any answers.

It is unfortunate that Corey Haim peaked at The Lost Boys and has never done anything good since. I would seriously give thos two movies you mentioned a wide berth.

Noms [Cool]

ps. I can send this in a PM if that is the preferred method these days [Wink]

Licence to drive was decent, I thought! But yeah, it was all downhill from there!

Posted by WolfmansGotNards (Member # 5910) on :

One more vote for Dream Machine. I tracked that sucker down on Laserdisc, I could not settle for VHS [Big Grin]

Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :

The Lost Boys is the best no doubt about that,
but i also like Licence to Drive, Watchers, Dream a Little Dream and Dream Machine.
Call me a fanboy - i don´t care [Cool]

It's a toss up for me between that and Silver Bullet [Smile]

Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :

Yeah, about the older ones, i like Silver Bullet a lot.
And Lucas too!

...ooh I forgot about Silver Bullet...

I love Lucas. I also love the movie "Murphy's Romance"- he plays Sally Fields son in it, he was really young in it.

License to Drive is one of my all time favorite 80's movies.

I haven't seen either of those 2 movies you mentioned...I am sure cindymancini steered you in the right direction when it comes to Corey Haim.

It is really sad what happened to him. I saw him doing the VH-1 stuff...and I didn't even recognize him.

He was also the little brother in SECRET ADMIRER.

That's right... He kept stealing money from his brother... The little creep! [Big Grin]

.....and he would eat all those disgusting food concoctions: like pouring chocolate syrup all over his cereal.

That's right... Remember when his mom tried the chocolate syrup on the cereal and she liked it? I tried it (in the 80s) and liked it too...

He was also good in his Saturday morning show Roomies, I wish it would come out on DVD. He was good in Firstborn too.

Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :

My frined used to love that show! It must've ran a really short amount of time cuz I dont think I ever got to see it!

Someone have those old eps? Put em up on YOU TUBE!

Posted by maxhauser1999 (Member # 7003) on :

My Corey Haim recomendations:

Lucas
License To Drive
The Lost Boys
Watchers

He was also good in his stint on the Canadian T.V. series
The Edison Twins. I'm currently searching Amazon and ebay for old VHS copies.

Posted by Incredible Dark Iron NOMS - Part 3 (Member # 2688) on :

I cannot believe people rate Watchers. Have you never read the book? This movie totally crapped all over a great story and replaced a grieving ex-marine with Corey ****ING Haim!!!

IDI Noms [Cool]

ps Feldman would kick Haim's *** in any movie showdown!!!!

Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :

I hated WATCHERS!!

And, yeah, I've always preferred Feldman for some reason.

Posted by cindymancini (Member # 679) on :

I have always wanted to see Watchers but can't seem to track down a copy...anyone have this?

Posted by jdocster04 (Member # 5752) on :

Watchers and WatchersII is on amazon.com...

I read the reviews on imdb and they all hated it though...

Posted by Spreadking (Member # 7280) on :

The Fast Getaway films are decent.......but they don't come close to topping Demolition High. D.H. is Haim at his best. This one gets a high ranking on the cheese factor. 3 thumbs up.

Posted by journey (Member # 7316) on :

License to Drive and Lucas. Some of the other ones that people like to mention like The Lost Boys are merely supporting roles for the Haimster. And everything post-Fast Getaway is a total waste of time even for Haim fanatics.
