Yes! Although he started his “Bill & Ted” string of Shiite, he canceled those debacles (of which he only made one in the ‘80s) with the likes of a “River’s Edge” and “Dangerous Liasons”. Keanu Reeves hasn’t a place on this list. Why’d they consider him in the first place? 🤔
No, Keanu Reeves BECAME a very good actor in his latter years. Go watch Bram Stoker's Dracula (listen to that abominable failed attemt at an english accent, & wooden delivery as John Harker). Watch Speed, as he delivers the famous line "what do you do? What do you do?" It's AWFUL. It's in his later years that he developed the depth to ovdrcome his prior limitations.

Ahhhh, screw you! I liked Xanadu! And we're you even old enough to enjoy the 80's! Because how many movies were you in??? Yes I also liked endless love and the jazz singer! So stick to the stuff you watched like fraggle rock, sesame Street and Mr. Rogers
Most (scratch that, -- ALL) of the actors noted make movies featuring themselves as (wait for it) -- THEMSELVES! Madonna was shown in the opening, then never mentioned in the presentation. Even w/her best work (“A League Of Their Own”), she’s featured as “MADONNA!. in a the role of, well, Madonna”. She really takes advantage of us all, including her fans. But then, she DOES promise a paying crowd (damn “quality”). Woof! Also shown in the opening then not featured, John Travolta, who didn’t make A good movie in the 80s! 😐
I suppose if you were to make such a list, you got most names right. No saying that most are bad actors, but they did bad acting in the 80s. Or should we say, "lack of acting." Some beloved actors who sucked in 80s movies. A few never did learn to act even though they have a large fan base.
I believe Pretty Baby and Natural Born killers were the only two films that I ever walked out on before the ending and I've stayed for some major-league stinkers. That's always how I will remember Brooke Shields.
bad actors it is not the actors who to blame but the movie the play or making .you have good actors but the play in a bad movie but arnold and Stallone have not always bad movies but they have to choose because they are actors an get pay when the make a movie oke but it is not the fault from the actor but the one that ask or saying to the actor you most playing that movie so the actor can saying oke or refuse but when an actor refuse to play in this movie an it is a succes an the other actor get a lot of money because he playing that movie but that's the way in movie land. you see hou many actors have no work or a part in the movie? because the are bad? no it is because people like you an you movie if the don't the all lose money so what happening with another movie just the same it is like the music let we saying the are willing by many young girls the buy the music to so the get pay but when the music is bad than it is not always the fault from them. sometime you have succes because you looking great or get i wrong? look to the past when the first time we seen a movie it was great but look now many good looking actors are one not young anymore or living when the time all the young grils an woman have a pictures on the wall or something. they all playing in movies some good some not so good but who's to blame the actors? sorry bad spelling an english
I agree with you on just about all of these, the worst in my opinion being Sylvester Stallone. Can't stand listening to him, he always sounds like a doofuss. Sorry fans - although I do think that some of these were so bad only because the movie itself was so horrible so the acting just had to follow along. I'm surprise that you didn't mention Marlon Brando in The Island of Dr. Moreau. After the Godfather that movie was hilarious - and not in a good way. LOL
I don't think any actor is universally loved. And that's ok. The big thing is do they deliver what their audience expects? And when it comes to Swartznegger and Stallone, I'd argue that for the most part, they do. You can pan an actor or even an entire film that most people love, but I don't think you should call an actor or film "bad" if theyr're successful with their intended audience.
I have to agree that a number of these actors were in some bad movies that sure didn't help their careers. But I think Patrick Swayze was pretty good in Next Of Kin and Keanu Reeves has done real well in many of his movies. Some actors apparently made some poor choices with movie roles they were offered that I can't see some in the roles they did. Arnold though was pretty good in Kindergarten Cop in role that made use of his tough guy persona but placed him dealing with kids in a kindergarten class while going undercover looking for the former girlfriend of a dangerous criminal.
Even Nostalgic Nick thought Road House was ok. And Patrick Swayze's acting in that wasn't really bad. The point about Arnold doesn't really seem fair to me. Yes, he basically always played himself, but that's true of a lot of actors so this would be a list of hundreds of people (some quite successful) if that were the criteria. Both Arnie and Stallone generally gave you exactly what you expected, and while they both did have a few clangers, for the most part their audiences enjoyed their films.
I have Xanadu on DVD!! I'm s singer and Olivia Newton John was a huge influence on my craft. My sisters and our daughters have a Xanadu pj party every few years and watch it and sing our hearts out ❤️❤️!! Gene Kelley was a lovely 🌹 classic addition to the cast! Didn't anyone else roller skate wherever they went? Still would if I could!! LoL!!
I wouldn't say Arnie's a great actor, but most of the roles he chose fit him very well. I can think of a couple of real clangers over his career, but overall you knew what to expect when you went to a film he was in and he really delivered. Even some of his more unusual roles like Twins mostly worked, so I don't think he should be on this list.
The 1980s was a great decade for Sylvester Stallone. Rambo and its sequel. Rocky 3 was awesome and Tango and Cash is a hidden gem and I always liked Escape to Victory. It was a great decade for the guy.
The 1980s isn’t a “year”. It’s a DECADE & Sylvester Stallone (as he continues to do) continued to re-hatch the same material as his “Rocky” success’. Even his behind the scenes films (“Staying Alive”, f’rinstance) feature the same “root for the underdog” themes . He IS a good personality, but Sylvester Stallone is a strictly one dimensional actor. He’s always Sylvester Stallone. “Not that there’s anything wrong with that!” 🤔🙂
You got some right but Keanu Reeves is a very good actor wrong and other you got wrong .
Yes! Although he started his “Bill & Ted” string of Shiite, he canceled those debacles (of which he only made one in the ‘80s) with the likes of a “River’s Edge” and “Dangerous Liasons”.
Keanu Reeves hasn’t a place on this list. Why’d they consider him in the first place? 🤔
He is one of the worst actors in history.
@@randycunningham7318 bad actors dont win that many awards.only good actors do
@@randallmitchell8990 Bad actors win BS awards all the time. But I guarantee Keanu will never win an Oscar.

Heh, you are right about Arnold. I did like him in Red Heat, but I suppose that playing a hardened Russian cop wasn't a stretch.
Arnold as Mr. Freeze was beyond HORRIBLE it's HAAARRRBBBLLLLLEEEE!💯📠
Xanadu wasn't a good film but the soundtrack by ELO was fantastic.
No Brook Shield began with Pretty Baby which is even creepier. That was before nothing comes between me and my Calvin’s
I said the same thing , a movie about a 12 year old prostitute being sold to the highest bidder in order to deflower her is creepy as hell .
Agreed, I was wondering where Pretty Baby was too
HEY! I liked "The Beastmaster" !
True, Tanya was forgettable and the sequel sucked, but Marc Singer rocked that movie.
And Keanu Reeves has made up for any of his early years can we Say John Wick 🤣
I love all those actors and their scenes had place in the movies.You are just kind of special and quit talking down about my childhood
Anything Mad Donna did.
Another “Big Star” starring as that “Big Star” type. She’s a wreck waiting to destroy any filmmakers’ credibility. Woof! 👍😐
Tanya Roberts was so beautiful! I loved the tie-tops she wore on Charlie’s Angels. 🏄♂️
Blame it in Rio! I am huge fan! I saw when was a kid!🤣🤣🤣
I thought Blame it on Rio a good comedy.
It was a little creepy to , a sixteen year old after a forty year old
Yeah, some of the acting may have been bad, but at least none of these 80's movies had any stupid agendas or DEI-based stories.
The problem with being an actor is that when you mess up, your shame is recorded for eternity.
Chained Heat was Sybil Danning not Nielsen Get it Right 👍
The '80s witnessed both triumph and turmoil for some of Hollywood's biggest names.
I'm sorry but I like aview to a kill
Sounds like the basic problem was the plethora of really bad scripts in the 80's which weren't ;helped by some of the performances.
> You missed "Clint Eastwood!"
Food for thought;
Johnny Carson did the same routine for 40 years period.
> Sometimes he sucked. And sometimes he had a stellar performance.
> Editing skill of thousands of different performance clips into a coherent. 2 hour movie can make or break you.

I really liked Faye Dunaway in Mommy Dearest and the critics can go jump in a lake. Also, she was hilarious in Love At First Bite.
Piss dead dunk guy answer...
Steven Seagal wins that one in a landslide with the runner up being Van Damm
Bruce Jenner was bad but give him props for making money off of his Olympic status, not easy to do in that time period.
The really creepy movie that Brook Shields was in, was Pretty Baby which she made when she was about 12
The 80s were weird for both movies and music Nuwave was its Disco sucks era.
Im sorry but Arnie is not bad, he's in a class of his own

I do not agree with you regarding Travolta. I consider that he is a great actor.
I have to disagree with your comments.
I loved Xanadu, but that is mostly because I had a crush on Olivia and am a huge ELO fan.
I have Xanadu on DVD!! I'm s singer and Olivia Newton John was a huge influence on my craft. My sisters and our daughters have a Xanadu pj party every few years and watch it and sing our hearts out ❤️❤️!! Gene Kelley was a lovely 🌹 classic addition to the cast!

I liked Faye a n Mommy Dearest
Need to pay the bills somehow?
You done forgot Kurt Russell.
Arnie is a great actor and Ally Sheedy is a very pretty girl!
I wouldn't say Arnie's a great actor, but most of the roles he chose fit him very well. I can think of a couple of real clangers over his career, but overall you knew what to expect when you went to a film he was in and he really delivered.

Next of kin was excellent
Bizzare AI voice narration.
That list is total BS.

Don't sell Arni short. He is, by far, the best actor who later went on to become Governor of California.
RUBBISH!
