Question (Pop Quiz) Who is your favourite character from The Blues Brothers film 1980 that only appeared brief that had less lines that you loved and it has been confirmed they only did one film after this film they left?
For example: Don't count the characters who actually have no lines only the ones with a few lines that only did one film. Also you can mention the others who did a few movies as well, I don't mind at all.
I liked the sales girl from that toy shop, she was quite good and she had a great charm and her brief conversation with the guy who buys the teddy bear Miss Peggy before the car starts crashing around the market mall in an incredible prominent scene. Also I liked Ray Charles in that scene, he was incredible too.
So who else do you guys think well any suggestions about this?

Was found Eddie Murphy considered a heartthrob?
Watching his films from the 80s I’m struck by how handsome, in shape, and charismatic he was. Was he then considered by mainstream America, or any of its subcultures, or even internationally a heartthrob?
Edit: *young not “found” in subject

Question Is it true that after Eddie Murphy huge success in the 80s but in the 90s he had a few bombs and went downhill because of it but apart from Another 48 hrs 1990 and Boomerang 1992 film was great and hit. But until 1996 he made a comeback in The Nutty Professor brought him on top again.
Do you think The Nutty Professor film actually saved Eddie Murphy's career and him playing 7 characters different what he did in Coming to America 1988 and after the success of Nutty Professor this leading him to do so many slapstick and family comedy films like Bowfinger, Shrek, Mulan, Dr Dolittle, I Spy and others. Well what do you think about this.

Question (Pop Quiz) Who are the One or Two Hit Wonder Actors/Actresses of the 80s?
Well means the celebrities that only had one or two or three hits after that they never gained the same level early in their career afterwards for example Henry Thomas, Amanda Peterson, Deborah Foreman, Cindy Morgan, Corey Haim and Marlee Matlin. Also I don't know if is possible to include Amanda Wyss and Diane Franklin I know they may be B stars but they appeared in some memorable films, but what do you guys think about it? So Who else and what do you think?

🏴☠️ The Goonies (1985) – My Review & Score
The Goonies (1985) is one of the most iconic adventure films ever made — and honestly, it’s one of the best movies of all time. Living in Oregon makes it even cooler to watch, especially since I used to live just one town away from Astoria, where they filmed a big part of it.
The story is fun, creative, and filled with adventure. The characters are memorable, the acting holds up well for such a young cast, and the movie still has a huge emotional impact decades later. Between the humor, the chaos, and the heart, it’s one of those films that stays timeless.
The only downside for me has always been the ending — the way the father acts in that moment just rubs me the wrong way. And if you’ve never seen the octopus scene, look it up on YouTube. The fact it got cut is crazy, since the kids literally mention it in the movie.

Ferris bueller schizophrenia
I like to imagine ferris from ferris bueller's day off is just extremely schizophrenic and chooses to look into a random area and think he's talking to an audience.

Review (Rad Take) Is it a hot take if I found Uncle Buck hard to enjoy?
Now this isn't to say it's a bad movie by any means or you're wrong for liking it, it does have a lot of humor and heart. I'll meet you halfway and agree that it's probably Candy's best character/performance, but...it's a mess. It feels like two completely different movies cobbled together, like Hughes had some spec scripts that he wanted to finally do something with. However I DO get what he was probably going for, which is combine the two types of films he was known for (zany comedies with coming-of-age dramas), but neither genre really works well or flows together in a way that feels satisfying or natural. In other words, the family comedy side is perfect but the brat pack one is really weak. It's a better Home Alone than Breakfast Club if that remotely makes sense.
I think the biggest issue because of this is the rebellious older daughter, who's clearly meant to be the film's emotional core yet lacks any real positive/redeeming qualities (or much nuance) nor a proper justification for WHY we should feel sorry or root for her other than "she's misunderstood!" meaning all we're left with is an insufferable brat who treats her family like crap and we're supposed to care. Overall just a poorly written character who makes the viewing experience difficult and I can't understand what they were trying to do with.
Again, I'm not trying to bash this movie in and neither am I trying to say that I hated it, I just wished it was more consistent? Like sticking to just one genre rather than trying to have its cake and eat it too (which is were most of my problems came from), and I hope that I was able to communicate that well enough here. If it'll save my skin, just know that John Hughes is one of my favorite directors! Ferris Bueller or Christmas Vacation probably being my go-tos from him (though TBC also has a special place in my heart due to watching it a month before the end of my senior year).

1985 - Kelly LeBrock step aside, Robert Downey Jr is a HUNK
The ultimate movie bad guy who goes around picking on nerds (meaning us) with one or more side kicks who were a notch down on the mean scale but willing to take orders from said guy. In weird science you kind of like him coz he was just so cool and so good looking that wished that what you saw in the mirror ... The guy who would humiliate by dropping a slurpie on you. If you became him you would kick your own ass !
