Let's face it, since the 80s the silver screen simply has not been the same. It was the decade that introduced us to the notion that ghosts might actually exist and if they do then we had better hire Bill Murray and his buddies to come sort them out. It was the decade that inspired Spielberg to introduce us to the idea that aliens might exist, and that if they do there's a good chance that they are magical and friendly. But perhaps best of all from the 80s, is that we were blessed with the advent of the Star Wars series.

So, considering this decade's immense impression upon the world of cinema, we wanted to take a moment and celebrate the celebrities that made it happen. The women and men who were our icons grown up, plastered on every wall of every teenager's bedroom. The people we hoped we would grow up to become.

  • You know, it's always fun to look at these old photos of movie stars and think for a moment if they could have ever conceived of where their fame would take them. Take Keanu here, do you think he knew at this point that he would go on to star in one of the most impactful trilogies (if you ignore the fourth one) ever made?

  • A classic whether you were born in the 80s or 90s, three men and a baby has somehow stood the test of time and is still being referenced today. And at that can we take a moment to appreciate how Tom Selleck has truly proven himself to be like a fine cheese, only getting better with age.
