After receiving numerous complaints that the 1970s sucked and were not worthy of a vanity thread, here at the Pissant/CPOWife Research Center we've decided to select a decade that had more worthwhile activities to ponder. Though many positive events developed during the 1980s, there were plenty of stink-bombs as well. To further our research, we encourage everyone to participate in this scientific survey.

Without further ado, the Best and Worst of the 1980s:

All the guys in the volleyball scene from "Top Gun" (including Tom Cruise)

Best scene in a movie ever!

Please, please: tell us you're a woman.

[SilentServiceCPOWife]

Here's one for you. :-)

Do you remember Jon Erik Hexum?

Calling Dr. Darwin...

DIED:

October 18, 1984 (according to his death certificate)

CAUSE OF DEATH:

Between scenes on the set of "Cover-Up", Jon-Erik was bored by delays in filming. Always the comedian, he jokingly placed a blank-loaded .44 Magnum prop gun to his right temple as a sight gag and pulled the trigger. The explosive charge drove a quarter-sized piece of his skull into his brain. Two days later, Jon-Erik was taken off life support at his family's request and his heart, corneas, skin, and kidneys were donated for transplant. This benefited six people, including a last-minute burn victim.

Did you ever see a movie with Sam Elliott called Lifeguard?

Grrrr.... He was an over the hill lifeguard - but he still had it... if you know what I mean.

[EX52D]

VERY NICE!

[najida]

Yeah,
Hoodlum is one of our wicked picture ladies ;)

[Veto!]

I'm glad you didn't say Dance With Wolves. I was glad I had a magazine in my tote when I saw that one, cuz I had plenty of time to read while the camera scanned and scanned and panned and panned Costners face between the actual action scenes.

[Dashing Dasher]

Who cares!?

[Petronski]

Whew.


;O)

[Hoodlum91]

Awww! I was going to play with him a bit!

[pissant]

Darn, I never saw Dallas. I dont' know.


Has everyone forgotten Miami Vice!!!?

Robert Palmer was the ultimate in sexy man, IMO. Excellent dresser. Loved his long hair. And he was curteous at a time when pop stars were F'n and punk and in-your-face.

[SilentServiceCPOWife]

He has one of the sexiest voices ever. It's so deep and gravelly. Gives me chills. :-)

[Pyro7480]

Who is that??

[Hoodlum91]

Thank you!!

Have to say, Ice was my favorite. Especially the nostril flare!

11. A-ha's "Take on Me" is still your favorite video. One of the best videos ever.

Agreed!!!
