Lucas (1986)

This 1980's movie helped to make Charlie sheen a big star. Unlike today where we don't have many actors who become big early on , back then it happened more often. You just knew Sheen was going to the top. And Cory Haim was bound for a great career too it seemed , this movie which did quite well made them even more popular. This movie about a young 14 year old who will do anything to impress a older girl was right on the mark. This blu ray which looks pretty good is worth owning and very family friendly. It's a good story of teen angst and it has both touching and comedic moments. Even today a kid could emphasize and relate to the basic story here. The characters are played as real people and not stereotypes. It's worth owning on blu ray if you love these type of movies. Watching this close to 30 years later it's easy to see how much charisma these actors had and sadly both of them would let drugs destroy their careers (sheen could have stayed a giant movie star but by the mid 90's that prospect was gone) and they even completely destroyed Haim's health. He died a few years back , broke and barely functioning. Thankfully this movie isn't about drugs. Because even back then , a drug movie was about teens out of it, and this is a story with a better message. And it has a good blu ray release finally.
