Okay this topic centers around someone from the 80's that was in a lot of films, but some how there is one or two films that they were in that you just can't seem to remember.
For example, I was searching the homepage and saw that Space Camp's page was added. I went on there and had completely forgotten that Lea Thompson played that part. I think of her in Some Kind of Wonderful, Back to the Future films, and even in Howard the Duck. Why is it that some films with some of our favorites don't get remembered, or rather get forgotten?
Can you think of someone that you write about a lot and then don't refer to a particular movie that they were in?

Michelle Johnson is her name. Don't think many guys have forgotten who she is.

I definately remember Phoebe in Gremlins, but I always forget Judge Reinhold was in that movie too, and that they did Fast Times together, they probably got really close, having had to do such "personal stuff" together.

That is so funny ISIS I had forgotten to make the connection on Fast Times too. I just watched Gremlins today to and it doesn't make me think of them in Fast Times. He had a very small roll in Gremlins, he wasn't even it after the bar scene when he is criticizing Billy.

Kelly Preston in Space Camp...How did she go from being naked in Mischief and Secret Admirer to a kid's movie like Space Camp. It's impressive she got the role.

Chevy Chase and SCTV alumni John Candy, Dave Thomas and Joe Flaherty all appeared in 1985's "Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird". When their careers are discussed, you never hear about this movie.

What about Geena Davis in Tootsie and Fletch. Smaller roles early on in her career.

This has definitely been posted about before but I don't think Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Hunt, Shannon Doherty or Jonathon Silverman ever claim Girls Just Want to Have Fun. Most people associate Shannon with 90210 or Our House. Yeah Isis, I totally forget about Kevin Bacon in Friday 13th as well.

John Cusack from the flashback seen in Stand By Me, where he's remembering his brother. Also, although the character is well recognized, you'd be surprised how many people are unaware that Vern from Stand By Me was in fact Jerry O'Connell.

Maybe it's knowing these random facts that didn't make me forget them, or maybe it's the fact that I own most of those movies. People that get lost in the shuffle. Wesley Snipes in Major League or he and Woody Harrelson in White Men Can't Jump or Wildcats. I like the person that said Seth Green in Can't buy me love. Good choice. Radio Days he was good in also. What about Donald Gibb (ogre)? He was a riot in Bloodsport. There are some quality roles that some of you picked.
