Haim or Feldman?

This has been brewing for decades. It ends here and now. You decide. Corey Haim or Corey Feldman? This poll will not contain a twikoff option because this must be decided.

I love you.

I'd go with Feldman cuz I thought he was excellent in The Hulk. Also, anyone who is in Gremlins, The Lost Boys, and The 'Burbs is in my book. As it stands, all Haim has going for him is The Lost Boys and License To Drive (both of which already offer us a Feldman fix).

Then again, he did get to nail Nicole Eggert in Blown Up (any fan of Charles In Charge during the 80's knows exactly how spectacular an event this is - even if it's only "movie sex"), but then again, so did Feldman, in the end. Hmm.

Feldman is the voice of Donatello in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (and part III as well, which is almost enough to give Haim the advantage), so he wins by a big green beak.

Feldman=Goonies. That's enough in my book... although I find him quite annoying as an adult.

Always thought Haim was better looking but most of the films I like with the Corey's have both of them in it (Stand By Me being the notable exception on the Feldman side). Haim did have Lucas, Silver Bullet and Fast Getaway - don't ask me why I like the latter film, I just don't know but I do.

Edge goes to Haim.

Wow, I totally forgot about Goonies and Stand By Me. Sorry, but Haim is in the dust. Just thinking about this makes me wonder if Corey Feldman is the actor in the most movies from the 80's that I like. And I don't like all that many movies from the 80's.

Tough call. Feldman has The Goonies, the 'burbs and Stand by Me. Haim has Lucas, Silver Bullett and Fast Getaway. While both have License to Drive and The Lost Boys.

I vote Haim.

Feldman:
Stand By Me
Goonies
Gremlins

Haim:
Lica Silver Bullet

They share License to Drive and Lost Boys -- so I think Feldman is the winner.

Though Feldman was in The Goonies and Stand By Me, I picked Haim, because he has handled his transition into a has-been much better than Feldman and less publicly. Over the last several years, Feldman has just portrayed himself as one of the most pathetic and self-deluded people in the world. We don't hear from Haim - all the better in my book.

The only proper action on this poll is not to vote. If someone put a gun to my head and told me I had to pick the best Cory, I'd choose the bullet every time.

Anyway, Cory Haim was kind of cooler, but Feldman was the one who was part of a major motion picture like every year for much of the '80s - Gremlins ('84), The Goonies ('85), Stand By Me ('86), The Lost Boys ('87), License to Drive ('88). Haim only had the last two, although in all fairness, he was more of a star in those two than Feldman.

I just watched The Lost Boys this weekend and from that I would vote for Haim. Feldman is so annoying in that one, that horrid horrid voice. Maybe Feldman made the better movies but the only one i really liked him in was Stand by Me. So for me, Haim is less annoying so i would choose him as my "favorite".

Haim is too much a little pretty boy. Feldman was the bad boy. I'd rather hang out with Feldman. (not now of course, he's a douche.)

Feldman. I met him last year at his birthday concert in Denver. He's actually a cool person and his fiance is amazing looking. Haim was great in Lost Boys, Silver Bullet, and License to Drive, but Feldman has the comedic edge.

Haim, you guys seem to be forgetting his most memorable roles
Demolition High, Demolition University, and the Double O Kid.

To quote demolition high Feldmen "Shouldn't have bought that second milk."

He should have thrown in the towel now he is just annoying. Although I do still think it is close between the two.

Re: Haim or Feldman?

This is his tribute to Haim and Michael Jackson.

If your day sucked you can thank me
