Somebody made a boo boo earlier when they said Kurt Russell peaked in the 70s.
In the 80s he did Escape from new York, Big trouble in little China, Silkwood, The Thing, Used cars (excellent comedy if you haven't seen it), Overboard and Tango and Cash among others.
All he really did in the 70s were those Disney films iirc.0 -

Yeah I wouldnt be familar with his early stuff but I'd agree the 80s and probably 90s were his most prolific decades.0 -

Overboard is very underrated, himself and Goldie still going strong unwed, couple goals
I recommend Tequila Sunrise too with Kurt, Mel Gibson, Michelle Pfeiffer and Raul Julia0 -

He was adorable in those Disney films
Not fond of what later work I saw. Overboard was atrocious (but I blame it on the missus overacting.)0 -

I can't wrap my head around Chevy Chases' film attempts (like those christmas films), he seemed to quickly become an over-acting/egotistical caricature of his snl persona (as in Roxanne). ...the Al vid was cute though!
That Elf actor (ugh) reminds me of a bad Chevy Chase impersonator.
But I am really not a huge movie buff, so what do I know.
He wasn't in Roxanne, that was Steve Martin. And actually last night I remembered Roxanne as another of Martin's great 80s movies.
(just double checked in case he had a small role in it that I'd forgotten about, but no, according to Wiki, definitely not in it).0 -
