Harry Dean Stanton...



Perhaps the most prolific hollywood actor to remain totally unrecognized for his achievements.

Without a doubt, one of the best cinematic masterpieces EVER!!!!



"When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye and asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."

i think overall my favortie 80's movie is The Running Man ( a great $5 movie btw) some of my favorites when i was younger were short circuit and batteries not included. and one that just squeaked out of the 80s is total recall, done in 1990

DOW stole my Repo Man thunder- great movie. I actually got to see Easy Money in the theatres- for some reason my folks thought it would be a good idea to take my pre-teen self to it- yay folks!
I think you've also got to throw Raising Arizona in there as well.

Dune... by far.
