I was born in the early 80’s.

There have been a lot of great films (in my opinion) that came out of that decade.

It was the time when a lot of stars started to make big hits that propelled there careers i.e.

• Arnold Schwarzenegger
• Sylvester Stallone
• Eddie Murphy
• Michael J Fox
• Matthew Broderick
• Steve Guttenberg
