I'm 33 live in England and a big fan of movies. I run quite a few websites including some for the actors mentioned above. Here's something I wrote back in 2005.
After chatting to my friend I got thinking about the actors I've liked for, well, since the 80s. My evenings, especially weekends, were spent watching films. Most films have never been heard of since, apart from the few fans they have including me and my sister, films like *Killer Klowns from Outer Space *TerrorVision *Hysterical *Spaceship *Saturday 14th All horror/horror comedy films made in the early/middle 80s and, probably a lot worse than we remember too. :o) Anyway, a lot of the stars today I first read about and watched around this time. We used to go to a video shop called Silverline with Dad on a Saturday and get 3 films for £1 which were then kept over the weekend. In 1989 when we moved to where we live now, we had a video van that came every Friday and Monday and I usually got 2 or 3 on a Friday and at least 1 on a Monday. Some of the actors we discovered back them included Johnny Depp - while watching 21 Jump Street / Nightmare on Elm Street / Platoon (around 88/89) George Clooney - while watching Combat Academy in 1989 Sean Astin - The Goonies (we went the cinema to see this Christmas Eve 1985 or 1986 I think) Elisabeth Shue / Vincent D'Onofrio - Adventures in Babysitting (again a cinema viewing) Plus watching all the usual films of the likes of Tom, Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon, Christian Slater, Ethan Hawke, Robert Sean Leonard, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Corey Haim not forgetting Corey Feldman, C Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze, Robert Downey Jr, Patrick Dempsey, Eric Stoltz, James Spader, Jason Patric, Emilio and Charlie, Matthew Broderick. Looking through our old video collection in that we also have Oxford Blues (Rob Lowe, Ally Sheedy, Amanda Pays), Flamingo Kid (Matt Dillon), Footloose, Brotherhood of Justice (Keanu Reeves, Kiefer Sutherland, Billy Zane), Risky Business etc. It seems as though they become part of your life, because you've grown up watching them. My first trip to the cinema was when I was 3 and was going very regularly back then with my Dad to see sometimes a double bill at our local cinema. As soon as my sister was old enough I was taking her to the cinema. Then we got our first video recorder in 1984 and the first video we rented was Footloose, which still remains a favourite of ours. As much as I like watching Matt Damon I'm not affected in the same way I am with, say, Matt Dillon, mainly because I've become a fan later on in life. There is only one actor who affects me now in the same way and that is Billy Crudup - I can't explain why the attachment is there but it is and from now on probably always will be. Actress wise, my favourites include Lili Taylor, Samantha Mathis, Martha Plimpton, Summer Phoenix, Diane Lane, Brittany Murphy, Geena Davis, Susan Sarandon, Ally Sheedy, Angelina Jolie and there must be more but I can't think of them right now LOL Sorry this is so long, I didn't mean it to be, once I get writing I can't stop!!! ;) |
