I guess I'll say The Lost Boys, not because I wanted to be a europunk vampire, or because I wanted to dress like Corey Haim, but because I loved the late '80s rocker hair styles. I wanted to be like Def Leppard or Van Halen, and Jason Patrick in The Lost Boys was sort of the epitome of that rugged bad boy era.

Also, except for a few of the glam rockers, I transitioned away from top-40 radio music around that time and embraced classic rock bands like Rush, Pink Floyd, old Clapton,

Zeppelin etc. placing classic LP's all over my walls.

I never could get the hair though. Mine grew more like Richard Marx and Joey Lawrence. 😣

Well, with the disclaimer that a) the last time we tried to watch the movie, we shut it off in the first 20 minutes, and b) our decor was more inspired by the main character's bookstore rather than her apartment 😏...it would have to be You've Got Mail. We still decorate with twinkle lights, and I loved Meg Ryan's cute short haircut.
