Very rarely do films come out around the same time frame from similar creators that tend towards the same trajectory, exploring the same ideas with a like-minded sensibility. But in the case of the Steven Spielberg produced The Goonies and the subsequently Richard Donner produced The Lost Boys, with its crossover casting, kindred themes and approach to teenagers off the beaten path contending with forces of darkness shot on elaborate set pieces that look and feel borne out of late '80s youthful rebellion, it’s harder to differentiate these two movies than you may think. With this unique focus from The Movie Sleuth, we take a good concerted look at both of these movies on their own, their comparability and in the end decide which one of the two we think is better.
