"Good haircuts men.......Damn good haircuts!"

32. Xanadu - South Coast Shrimper

3. Back to the Future - BB


Is back to the future the series or the first installment because back to the future 2 is one of my all time faves and I would vote for it if it was the series, but if it is just the first one then I will have to re-think my vote?

Please don't wake my friend, he is dead tired.

On reflection I should have opted for Running Man, I may have had a chance against your Die Hard.

I'm a huge fan of Arnold's movies from the mid to late 80s - 'Raw Deal' is an underappreciated gem. However, to live with McClane, you would have to extend the decade by a couple of years so you could bring 'Under Siege' to the party.

You're right about Raw Deal, I also enjoyed a lot of his "action" films of the era. Die Hard was a classic made doubly so by Alan Rickman's performance as Hans.
