Five Corey Haim Films You Now Need to Go Out and Buy
Mar 10, 2010 05:53 PM
A lot of jokes have been made about the two Coreys over the years, and most of them were at the expense of Corey Haim, who died today of a drug overdose. Granted, Feldman appeared in many more, debatably higher-quality films than his frequent co-star, but only Haim has a fan video titled Me, Myself and I, where he lounges in his pool, plays the keyboard and bites his lower lip a lot. And while we're sure Haim would have loved to have Stand By Me and The Goonies on his resumé, he was actually in some really good movies when he was in his prime (ages 14-20). Here are five films every Haim fan should have in their DVD library.

Silver Bullet (1985)
Movies based on Stephen King novels have a tendency to come out a little overdone. Too much (or too little) essence of King can ruin a good movie. And while it's not his best-known book or film, Silver Bullet actually comes across as a decent werewolf movie, and Haim's wheelchair-bound protagonist is an unlikely action hero, especially when backed up by Gary Busey, Terry O'Quinn and Anne of Green Gables.


Lucas (1986)
As a nerdy, 14-year-old insect lover who joins the high school football team to impress his cheerleader friend (Andy from The Goonies), Lucas gives Sean Astin's Rudy a run for his money in the underdog athlete hall of fame. It'd be a must-see even without supporting performances from Charlie Sheen, Winona Ryder, Courtney-Thorne Smith and Jeremy Piven.
