	1985 had a whole lotta balls going. I mean, Eastwood, Norris, Ah-nold, Douglas, Sly, Ford?

	How is it possible that Kevin Costner is not on here anywhere!?

	@Camden: Dances With Wolves didn't come out until 1990. More shocking is that in decade that brought us Raging Bull, Midnight Run, The King of Comedy, The Untouchables, The Mission, & Brazil, Robert De Niro was never considered a box office. But Rodney Dangerfield was...

	I just watched The Terminator last night. The special effects were hilarously bad.

	rockgulf: Agreed about De Niro. I kept retyping it with different spellings 'cause I was sure he had to be on the list. Looks like it's De Niro rather than Dangerfield who "don't get no respect."

	Prince? Seriously? People were really that crazed over Purple Rain?!

	@rockgolf Of the De Niro movies you listed only two of them made above 25 mil. Also Costner was in more movies then just Dances like Field of Dreams, Bull Durham and even a movie you listed for De Niro...The Untouchables (In fact Costner as Ness is the star of the picture). I've got no argument about Dangerfield.

	Nobody named Corey? Heresy!

	Ah the 80s. When Eddie Murphy was funny and men not named McConaughey got to run around all sweaty and shirtless.

	I acknowledge that she wasn't a "blockbuster" but an 80s movie quiz without Molly Ringwald on it seems a sacrilege!

	Rayavi:	Oct 23rd, 2011 at 07:06 GMT		1 point
	Alan Alda? Wow.

	no Lloyd? Great Scott!

	Unfortunately, I think that list only counted Michael J. Fox as the star of the Back to the Future trilogy. Otherwise, I'm sure Mr. Lloyd would have been present.

	You could've given me a thousand years on this quiz and I still would've missed Alan Alda.

	I love that Paul Hogan is on here for three years. Crocodile Dundee was so big that it puts him on the list for 86 and 87, and then Croc II puts him there for 88. It was a special time.

	A little surprised John Candy never made the list but I guess he wasn't always considered the lead in the movies he was in.

	Make fun of this list all you want, but in 30 years people are really wonder who the hell Taylor Lautner was.

	@mizark: There is an error on this quiz. Chuck Norris tops all lists.
