Dudes of the 80s Tournament - Round 1: John Cusack (3) vs Keanu Reeves (6)

Previous results: A box office champ of the 2000s, an 80s champ (thus far) over poor Anthony Michael Hall. Johnny Depp easily handled Rusty, 21-8. Click here to view the updated full bracket.

This one could be tighter than the seeds might indicate. I might have underestimated Reeves' 80s resume...

John Cusack


80s Highlights: Sixteen Candles, Better Off Dead, The Sure Thing, Stand By Me, One Crazy Summer, Eight Men Out, Say Anything

Keanu Reeves


80s Highlights: Youngblood, River's Edge, Parenthood, Dangerous Liasons, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

Keanu will always be more of a 90's star to me, while John Cusack is the star of every decade. Lane Meyer for the win!

I have to admit, I am a bit surprised Cusack is only a 3 seed. But he's so awesome, I don't see him getting knocked out by Keanu.

Despite the fact that I still love Bill and Ted (don't judge!).

While Keanu's best films were a while ago (not sure 80s or 90s), you can't forget Lloyd Dobler as an iconic 80s character.

Christ, it's 11-0 in favor of Cusack right now. I must vote for Keanu.

Without a doubt John.

Mrs Fletch said...

Cusack for the win! :)

I was so tempted to vote Keanu, but I had to go with Cusack.

Martin Blank over Johnny Utah any day of the week. Cusack embodied what coolness can actually be salvaged from the 80s, while Keanu is about everything we'd prefer to forget.
