was a fun movie and a nice departure from the Burton movies. Batman and Robin was completely ridiculous and deserves 100% of its bad reputation. Lost Boys was awesome. St. Elmo's Fire sucks. He had an interesting career.
WB's meddling drove Burton (and in turn Keaton) away from the franchise. Schumacher was hired because they felt they could push him around. WB only cared about selling toys. The Schumacher movies were 2 hour toy commercials.
Years later WB again destroyed a franchise when they meddled in the DC cinematic universe destroying the Justice League movie.
he made a lot of good movies. Not Fellini-type stuff but some quality entertainment over the years. St. Elmos Fire, Lost Boys, Dying Young, Flatliners, Falling Down, The Client, A Time to Kill, 8mm, etc.
My favorite lesser-known film of his is Flawless, an unlikely buddy film with Philip Seymour Hoffman playing a drag queen and Robert De Niro a retired police officer recovering from a stroke. Obviously, two great actors doing their thing in very challenging roles.

8mm was NOT a good movie. 22% on Rotten Tomatoes and that might be too high.
Lost Boys was one of his, right?

Yes one of his better ones.
He’s also famous for giving Batman nipples on the Bat Suite for Batman and Robin

It takes a special director to bury the Batman franchise for nearly a decade.

"Hoka Hey" "today is a good day to die"
although, from what I read it doesn't exactly mean that.
I liked the original flatliners. If I'm not mistaken, they remade it. I have not seen the remake.
Sure Jan.

he's responsible for some good ones.
As Santa tells the fat kid in Bad Santa, they can't all be winners.
Arnold's character & the puns...Good God.
But you know, he had a helluva life and career. I should be so lucky to do well and live so long.
A Time to Kill was pretty entertaining. The Client had Tommy Lee and Susan Sarandon. How bad could it have been?
Agreed.
