    Definitely Arnie. No contest in this one.

    Emilio Estevez ; the level of disrespect this legend has been shown by some of the other voters is an absolute joke, so I'm voting for the underdog here and I'd urge others to do likewise, because who doesn't love a good underdog story, and if he wins it'll send a couple of people around these parts a message not to underestimate us Brat Pack fans.

    You leave my little Emilio alone!!!!

    I don’t think he’ll be back after this matchup but he’s the last of my noms so will give him a vote so it’s not a complete wipeout.

    Vote: Emilio.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger Emilio Estevez- Predator alone trumps all Estevez's films.

    Bruce Willis - Tough, but John McClane trumps Batman and Beetlejuice for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,467 ✭✭✭✭rainbowtrout


    Bruce for me. Yippee ki yay!

    Overall as a movie star, I'd say Willis. But for 80s content alone it has to be Keaton. As good as Die Hard is, it's the only decent thing Willis made in the 80s. Whereas Keaton had Batman and Beetlejuice, so I'm going Keaton.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    Michael Keaton Bruce Willis- The best Batman after Adam West, class turn as Beetlejuice and he was great in Nightshift alongside the Fonz. Willis of course was excellent in Die hard but Keaton has it on 80s output.




  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 12,411 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kingp35


    Bruce Willis for me. I love the Batman films and Beetlejuice but Die Hard can't be beaten. Greatest action (and Christmas) film of all time.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,411 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    As much as I think Keaton is the best Batman, have to stick with my nomination so Bruce Willis it is.

    Michael Keaton

    There had only been one die hard and one look who’s talking made. Keaton had more movies in the 80s.

    Shame to see John Candy out. I would have had him down for the final. The scene where he decks the drunk clown in Uncle Buck is top notch :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,714 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    Arnold Schwarzenegger
    Michael Keaton
    They have both been in more movies I enjoyed than their opponents


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Michael Keaton ; Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. Will stick with my own nomination.
