Phoebe Cates
Comments: I'm not gonna waste too much time analyzing this one...
80s Highlights: Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Gremlins, Bright Lights, Big City
Lea Thompson
Comments: ...though I will say this for Thompson - does any participant in this tourney, male or female, have such a winning 80s resume? A couple of iconic flicks, an infamous dud, you name it, she's got it. She's the quintessential 80s actress.
80s Highlights: All the Right Moves, Red Dawn, Back to the Future (I & II), Howard the Duck, Some Kind of Wonderful, Casual Sex?
9 people have chosen wisely: on "Ladies of the 80s Tournament - Round 1: Phoebe Cates (1) vs Leah Thompson (8)"
Here I am in the minority again. I used to have such a crush on Lea Thompson though. Hell, I even watched her crappy TV show.
Wow - that's dedication. Caroline was painful to watch. She never did much of anything for me. I always thought of her as Liz Shue's less attractive older sister.
Can't believe it's only 6-4 in favor of Cates right now. Goofy day, what with that and McCarthy getting drubbed in the men's bracket.
Amazingly, I think both women have aged beautifully, and if it were a smackdown for today, I'd go with Lea, but Cates had her beat 25 years ago. Though her coupling with Kevin Kline still baffles me.
I'm going with Thompson as well. I never saw Cates appeal and hated Ridgemont High.
Phoebe all the way. While Lea Thompson certainly has the more impressive resume, she lacks the screen presence that Phoebe Cates had.
I was dreading this vote. Gremlins and Back to the Future were and are still goto movies for my 80s fix. Phoebe is my kind of lady; just friggin'-sexy-hot-adorable.
Leah, on the other hand, tried to hook up with her own son (unknowingly of course) and she made out with a flippin' duck! That's some kind of freaky-deaky.
Decisions...ugh!!!!...
Sorry Leah, but Phoebe's just too smokin'!
Cates. At the very least, for that first picture.
Ms. Cates is stunning, but there's no denying Ms. Thompson's resume.
Put another way: One starred in "Red Daw" and the "Back to the Future" films, and the other was only a secondary reason why I watched "Drop Dead Fred."
so, so hard and not just casting the ballot either. No denying the hotness of Phoebe Cates but I have to vote with my heart on this one and go with Lea Thompson.
