About This Quiz
Do you consider the 1980s the best decade for movies? Do you think you watched all of them? If we give you three films, would you be able to identify the '80s movie star? Let's find out.
The '80s were a decade of awesome movies. After all, the '80s brought us the "Alien" movies, "Die Hard;" and several Steven Spielberg classics such as "The Blues Brothers," "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "E.T.," "Poltergeist," "Gremlins," "Back to the Future," "The Color Purple," and many, many more. For some actors and actresses, the 1980s were their best decade. Take the Brat Pack, for instance.
The Brat Pack were a group of actors prevalent in the 1980s who starred together in several movies, much like the Rat Pack of the 1950s and 1960s did. The Rat Pack consisted of such greats as Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop, and Dean Martin.Â
Although some were offended by the comparison of the Brat Pack to the iconic actors of the Rat Pack, the Brat Pack consisted of Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Demi Moore (who was married to another '80s movie star, Bruce Willis), Ally Sheedy, Andrew McCarthy, Rob Lowe, and Anthony Michael Hall.
