I know people like to hate on his Batman movies, but St Elmos Fire, Lost Boys, Falling Down, and so many others are absolute classics. This guy is a legend. He made his mark.

RIP

Loved everything he did with the exception of the Batman films, certainly he left a legacy to be proud of

Good game Joel. Thanks for the great movie memories.

RIP Joel.
His Batman films weren't great, but at least he had a clear vision and took a swing.
You don't see that often in today's bland film business.

RIP. Truly, he made the nippliest Batman.

The Lost Boys, A Time to Kill, Falling Down. Batman aside he did make some really great movies.

Yes, RIP! Lost Boys is an all time favorite of mine.

I was going to mention that they should add nipples to his head stone, but may be too soon.

 

[George]

Rest his soul

I'll even throw in 8mm, too. I know its not his best work by a long shot, but I enjoy the hell out of it.

Such a shame. He had a great run of films, and regardless of people missgivings on his Batman movies, the production design on Batman Forever is superb.

I never realized he did Falling Down. I forgive him for the Batman films. Rest in Peace.
