One of the best movies I ever saw in VHS then in Laser Disc is the 1988 Corey Haim and Corey Feldman flick License to Drive. A story about a teenager named Les Anderson (played by Haim) who failed driving school but one time drove his grandfather's prized Cadillac in order to impress a girl played by Heather Graham.
As a 13 year old then, I was awed by it. Driving around Los Angeles, living the American life and getting a hot girl. What made License to Drive more believable is by Corey Haim's performance as your all around boy next door in which most guys at that age can relate to. His skinny, lanky built adds points too as most of us who passed that phase more popularly known as puberty had that same body form. I will always remember that movie from my childhood.
Corey Haim lived a short life. Along with License to Drive, he was also in Lucas and The Lost Boys; his three well known pictures. He was not able to translate his film success into adulthood but, by virtue of that three films alone, he left a nice legacy for boys about to be men.
