The Greatest Christmas Movies

Great '80s Characters Part III

Jason's Mom( got the murder cycle started
Brian Th would be more famous if
Yuji Okumoto and Sean Kanan have enjoyed renewed relevance on "Cobra Kai". Just be glad you're post-high school experiences didn't involve these guys.
Diane Keaton is delighful in her second best '80s role(behind "Reds"). Her and Nancy Meyers would meet again.
There's an alternate reality where blue-eyed blonde beauty Helen Slater is a huge star(sigh).
Albert Brooks
Why was Clark Griswold always shamelessly flirting with other women? Beverly D was more than enough for any man.
Tom Berenger's best role? Slide into home with the Cleveland Indians' aging star catcher.
Dean Stockwell
Where was the Best Supporting Actor nomination?
He's got nowhere else to go. That's not really true. Richard Gere's rebellious Navy recruit has been welcome in the homes of film fans for forty years now.
Winger
Remember when Cher was a real actress? The 1988 Academy Awards do.
I want to party with these guys in their sick NYC pad. Who knew that being a middle-aged bachelor was this much fun? Unfortunately, that's only if you're Tom Selleck, Ted Danson, or Steve Guttenberg.
She's not expendable. There's an alternate reality where Sylvester Stallone's super-soldier takes this Vietnamese hottie back to the States and lives a normal life in the suburbs.
Robert R
Casey
I've probably never pronounced his name right, but
Mary Stuart
Jodie Foster went to Yale and didn't act for four years. You'd never know it from this Oscar-winning performance.
Walken
Dan
Sheen
Dafoe
Modine
Penn
Russell
Only Jack Nicholson could seduce Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer, and such a thing could only happen in 1987.
comedy
Jane Fonda's last Oscar nomination
2024 sequel
Weaver

We might as well get Bryan Brown's other big role out of the way. There's only two, actually.
Did Bette Midler ever know that she's the hero of millions of American '80s housewives?
Is your lip stuck to your teeth or is that your idea of a smile? I'm smiling, as I book a reservation at Michelle Pfeiffer's L.A. restaurant five nights a week.
He's your best friend. What's more important than that? Shout out to Jared Rushton, who also scored with "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids".
Speaking of best friends, I give you Nancy Allen.
When I think of garbage, a lot of Eddie Murphy movies come to mind. This John Landis comedy definitely isn't one of them.
Malkovich
Slater
short-lived TV show.
De Palma
Caan
Cruise
Rooker
Paxton
Murray
Williams
Bridges
Indy 5("The Dial of Destiny") passed on a fan-pleasing opportunity.
Kate Capshaw
Speaking of directors that married their leading ladies,
John C
Mary Steenburgen
God-damn, Goldie. This cute California lawyer beats out Private Judy Benjamin(also 1980) in the aptly-titled Neil Simon-scripted comedy. Chevy Chase or Charles Grodin? One thing's for sure, they don't make 'em like this anymore.
Duvall
Aykroyd and Belushi
Sigourney Weaver
Ernie Hudson
Haas
Ford
Pfeiffer
John Ashton
Goldblum
Let's hear it for two-time Bond Timothy Dalton, the closest
Costner
Arnold
