I'm sure this thread has existed in many different forms before but I lurk here from now and then so let the noob start it again!

I used to have a big crush on River Phoenix. It didn't last that long though.

From the wonderfully eclectic Into the Night, (coincidentally containing her one and only verifiable nude scene), I offer 1985's Michelle Pfeiffer for consideration.
I certainly considered her a lot back then.........

I had a million crushes...but most of them were "rock stars", not actors. I loved DURAN DURAN and then when I got older MOTLEY CRUE.

C Thomas Howell was my 80's movie crush and of course Judd Nelson! Still like watching him in Breakfast Club! Never went in for Rob Lowe, found him very fem.

Patrick Dempsy i looooooooove him still lol
Posted by Tranza01 (Member # 5601) on :
How about Kim Richards? That raspy voice that long blond hair and the "girl next door" look. Remember "Tuff Turf" and Meatballs 2? I know they weren't a lot of peoples favorites but man was Kim gorgeous!

Actually come to think of it I remember being REALLY interested in Martha Quinn. O_o hmmmm.
Oh and the lead singer of the Bangles. But I guess neither of them relate to movies. Oh well. Posted by The Mouse Avenger (Member # 4406) on :
Prince, of course. Then there's Patrick Swayze, Morris Day, & last, but not least, Malcolm McDowell, my newest celebrity crush! ^_^
(Yes, Malcy was in quite a few 80's movies; they're not very well recognized, however, except for "Britannia Hospital".)

Remember the two main girls in Teen Wolf!!?? One was the girlfriend of the tough guy, i kinda went off her after a while and the other was Boon. Think thats her name, it was MJF's friend who he ended up with! Everytime i watch it i still think she is lush,
Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
Not so PHANSTAR: Both Martha Quinn AND Susannah Hoffs have been in movies. Martha was in BAD CHANNELS and CHOPPER CHICKS IN ZOMBIE TOWN and Susannah was in THE ALL-NIGHTER!

Wow, looks like there's another big Prince fan on this board? Do you still follow his music much or just his eighties stuff?

Actually, every single song he's ever done! I guess you could say I'm a flexible fanatic. Posted by Willow123 (Member # 4953) on :

I must agree with this. He was gorgeous. *dramatic girl crush sigh*
I also had the hots for Kiefer Sutherland in "The Lost Boys". The man still looks hot today. Posted by TheResurrection (Member # 2326) on :
Diane Lane and Jennifer Connelly and I think they are even better looking today.
Posted by StevenHW (Member # 509) on :
I had the hots for Megan Gallagher. But I don't know what she looks like these days.

I always had a thing for Kirstie Alley, mainly because of Cheers but also in Summer School/Look Who's Talking.

I was going to mention that actually, I still think she's nice now, especially in that bikini on Oprah Winfrey's show. I remember the press were pretty harsh on her both then and when she was photographed chomping on a burger at a drive-thru.

Kirstie doesn't look half-bad, either. In fact, I was hoping I could somehow get her assistance in helping my mom lose weight. Unfortunately, that may have to wait until I throw a celebrity party or something like that... Posted by StevenHW (Member # 509) on :

Just do what Kirstie did: call up Jenny Craig! Posted by valleygirl (Member # 5628) on :
definately patrick dempsy..aka McDreamy...looking great these days. Posted by Meesh 26 (Member # 5648) on :
Oh my, I had so many. There was COREY HAIM, PATRICK SWAYZE, ROB LOWE, and CHARLIE SHEEN. I liked Patrick Dempsy, but I don't think he was crush worthy. He was a total nerd. He had bod and crazy hair. I do however agree that he is gorgeous now.

First actress I ever obsessed over was Helen Slater as 'Supergirl' (aged 9/10, 1985/6??). Everything about her, from the exquisitely pretty face, flowing blonde hair, jaw-slackening figure, and - last but not least - that husky voice, just totally slayed me. So much so, that for about the next 2-3 years (which seemed like a lifetime at that age) I honestly couldn't obsess about any other female full-stop; she just killed any 'contest' there might otherwise have been in my mind (even the delectable Ally Sheedy as 'Stephanie' in Short Circuit couldn't get a look-in....)
She was, for me, the perfect '10' in that movie, no matter how bad the movie was (and it certainly was BAD ). Never seen a lovelier creature to this day.
Apart from Helen, only the pop stars Tiffany and Kylie Minogue had anything like the same effect on me later in the decade (had Tiff's poster on my wall for 2 years, whilst Ms Minogue continues to be outrageously fanciable in her late 30s).
Only on seeing the likes of Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman) and Madeleine Stowe (Revenge), did I feel I'd finally gotten 'over' Helen. But that was in the 90s, so they don't count Posted by jayeh1969 (Member # 4654) on :
I was crushin' hard on Catherine Mary Stewart from the first time I saw her in 'The Last Starfighter'. The crush continued on through 'Night Of The Comet' & 'Mischief'.
I'm too old & jaded to have a crush on anybody now. ;(

my crushes were not too good looking to some people (I'm looking in the direction of my sisters), but I loved Marc Price from Family Ties, and Danny from Fame.
Posted by Mollyfan22 (Member # 5665) on :
John Cusack! He was great then and is still great. There is just something about him. I think it's because he is so genuine. Also I saw an interview with Minnie Driver and she said he was the best kisser out of all the actors she has kissed!
