    oh, a couple of unfortunate pairings in this one:

    Louis Gossett Jr. - more interesting output in the 80s, I have associated Gene Wilder more with the 70s
    Patrick Swayze - because Dirty Dancing
    Kevin Kline - liked the roles/films he played more
    Michelle Pfeiffer - some great roles for her in the 80s - Travolta had a big gap in the 80s with nothing significant to show

    Gene Wilder - even though the 70s were more his decade he did star in 2 great movies alongside Richard Pryor
    Bruce Willis - the decade that John McClane came along
    Kevin Kline - Oh look, it's K-K-Ken! C-C-Coming to k-k-kill me!
    Michelle Pfeiffer - Travolta basically hibernated during the 80s although Blow Out was great

    Gene Wilder (his partnership with Richard Pryor, some very funny films)

    Patrick Swayze (hot sexy star of 80s and 90s, could sing and dance too)

    Rick Moranis (the funny sidekick oddball)

    Michelle Pfeffier stunning actress

    More tough competitions here:

    Gene Wilder because he's quirky
    Bruce Willis real tough one but he's better of the two
    Kevin Kline because there's two of him, the serious one that's moustacheless and the crazy one who is moustached
    Michelle Pfeiffer because she's so purty.

    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.

    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

    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

    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
