    Michael Keaton - Beetlejuice and Batman
    Corey Feldman - he is definitely more 80s than Sissy Spacek
    Robin Williams - One of my nominations
    I will pass on the last one. I nominated Hoffman, but Goldblum is great too!!

    Al Pacino - tough one but Pacino had a couple of great roles in the 80s
    Tom Hanks - he was a bit hit and miss in the earlier 80s, but sure it's Tom Hanks
    Mel Gibson - Mad Max among other things

    Fred Savage - The Princess Bride, Vice Versa, cool kid
    Arnold Schwarzenegger - iconic
    Leslie Nielsen - Airplane > Naked Gun, but the former is the 70s so doesn't count. But Naked Gun is still great and I've never seen a JCVD movie in my life
    Michael J. Fox - Marty, Teen Wolf, class.

    Christopher Lloyd - not who I’d have as an outright winner but I associate Fred with The Wonder Years so the doc wins by default.
    Arnold Schwarzenegger - best decade for action movie heroes and Arnie was at the top of the league.
    Leslie Nielsen - feel bad knocking Van damme out but how could you not like Leslie?
    Michael J. Fox - The time hopping teen wolf please.

    Jean Claude Van Damme.

    Nielsen will probably win this and maybe deservedly but JCVD is undeniably 80s.

    Rob Lowe - Brat Pack and can't think of any memorable films RD was in in the 80s
