    Bruce Willis Nicolas Cage - Die Hard was great but Raising Arizona pips it.
    Jamie Lee Curtis John Candy - The big man is a contender.

    Your comment confuses me, did you mean to vote Nick?

    Kathleen Turner Emilio Estevez - Both had some great films, Turner is a great actress who can play a variety of roles.
    Arnold Schwarzenegger Eddie Murphy- 80s was the best decade for both, quite tricky this but Murphy because he started the decade with 48 hrs my fave buddy-action-cop movie.

    Woops yes that's a vote for Nic Cage. Had picked Bruce first but was see-sawing between them.

    Aw, I voted for Keaton, but I'm sorry it was a whitewash. Weaver deserves some love too.

    yeah, I actually thought the same. . .

    I surely can’t be the only one who dislikes that man immensely... Mrs Doubtfire aside they’re all extremely autistic performances.

    I don't like manic Robin Williams (including Mrs Doubtfire - a bad film, IMO). But I loved him the likes of Dead Poet's Society, One Hour Photo and Insomnia.

    Dead Poets Society is my favourite film of all time, still crying every time I watch it. . .

    It's way up there for me too. It gets bad press for being schmaltzy, but I cry every time too. I love young Ethan Hawke in it, finding his mettle at the end.

    I will call this last match at 9am, if there is no winner, Nicolas Cage will go through having conceded less votes so far, 4-5

    Arnie. I am a little dumbfounded that Emilio got this far. Like, he's grand and all, but not QF grand. Arnie is THE MAN!!

    Arnold Schwarzenegger - Hasta La Vista, Emilio. The Governator takes this with some ease imo. If the Mighty Ducks had been 80s he could deploy the flying V but without that he doesn't avoid getting Terminated.

    Has to be Arnie, probably the biggest movie star of the 80s

    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.
