    Morning all. Thanks Kolido for another great tourney.


    Eddie Murphy
    Anthony Michael Hall
    Julia Roberts - I have no idea why I picked her.
    Mary Stewart Masterson
    Molly Ringwold
    Andrew McCarthy
    Rob Lowe
    Patrick Swayze
    Emilio Estevez
    Matt Dillon

    So far this week I have watched 2 Richard Pryor movies (toy man and see no evil) and a Molly Ringwold movie (for keeps). I think I’ll watch Roadhouse next.

    Silver Streak was one of Pryor's best roles. Moving is good too despite Bill Cosby is in it.
    I must watch They Live again on the old 80s vibe. Class film.

    Silver Streak and They Live used to be on Youtube but they took them down or charge for them now :mad:
    Ordering dvds from the library is a good way to see films you can't get online or on Netflix.

    I'll be introducing the son to a viewing of Arnie's Commando today to celebrate. Made quite the impression on me as a 9 year old. Lets see how it holds up to today's youth!

    My nominations. I can't believe only one other person nominated Arnie. I was nearly tempted to leave him out in place of someone else as I thought he'd get loads of nominations.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger
    Bill Murray
    Dan Aykroyd
    Bruce Willis
    Harrison Ford
    Sigourney Weaver
    Kathleen Turner
    Steve Martin
    Emilio Estevez
    John Cusack

    That's the gas-leak-effect.

    In the Greatest drama character contest Tony Soprano who won it wasn't nominated by anyone! The organiser had to put him in themselves.

    I didn't vote in the final because I was a tad underwhelmed by Arnie v Ackroyd.:pac:

    Grazie Kolido.
