I’m gonna abstain. They’re both legends in their own right.
Anthony Michael Hall The coolest geek ever!
Bill Murray It’s that cheeky look he always has on his face
Eddie Murphy The 80s wouldn’t be the 80s without Eddie.

Michael Douglas - one of my nominations
Bob Hoskins - close one, will go with Bob Hoskins mainly for Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Harrison Ford - anothe tough one, but Harrison Ford ftw, another one of my nominations
Eddie Murphy - not his biggest fan, but his 80s output was really interesting.

Sawduck

Rutger Hauer - He deserves some love especially for the fantastic Roy Batty
Anthony Michael Hall - i enjoyed his movies more
Harrison Ford - this could have easily been the final,both are legends but Ford has the more memorable roles
Eddie Murphy - he was so funny in the 80s and had so many great movies

Suprised with the Bruce Willis result, apart from Die Hard and Blind Date, he did nothing movie wise in the 80s.

I will be more surprised with Harrison Ford getting knocked out in Round 1. 2 of the 3 Star Wars, The Indiana Jones trilogy, Blade Runner, Frantic, Witness, a very impressive list of roles in the 80s

Irish Aris

Kathleen Turner - One of my nominations
Winona Ryder - not too fussed with either of them, voting Ryder for Beetlejuice
Danny DeVito - some great comedies in the 80s, one of the last cuts from my submitted nominations list
Tom Cruise - Another one of my nominations

Kathleen Turner - any other decade and it's Paul Newman
Winona Ryder - I don't care what else she did in the 80s, she was in Heathers and that's enough for me
Molly Ringwald - it wouldn't have been a proper John Hughes film without her
Tom Cruise - he's a jerk these days, but the 80s were his decade

Kathleen Turner - she’s just great
Winona Ryder - only up and coming at the latter half of the decade but I did like heathers.
Molly Ringwald Pretty in Pink is a fave of mine.
Tom Cruise - The outsiders Stay Gold

Also Starring LeVar Burton
