1) Out of Bounds (1986) - Anthony Michael Hall is not an action star, at least not then
2) Johnny B Goode (1988) - Anthony Michael Hall is not a sports star
3) Blue City (1986) Judd Nelson is not an action star
4) Kansas (1988) - Matt and Andy but the public didn't like it
5) Fresh Horses (1988) - they did not want to see Blaine and Andy in heavy sex mode
6) From the Hip (1987) - the one film on this list I think was really unfairly a flop
7)The Pick Up Artst (1987) - Molly tries to grow up
8) For Keeps (1988) - John Hughes without John Hughes
9) Maid to Order (1987) - Ally Sheedy had heaps of appeal this was her only real vehicle - unfairly, I think she deserved another shot
10) That was then this is now (1985) - an obscure SE hinton work... not bad but kind of disappeared
Special exemptions
- Wisdom (1986) - Estevez got a pass because he directed it... also Estevez had a decent record as star with Stakeout, Young Guns
- Rob Lowe made smart choices, I feel: About Last Night, Masquerade, Bad Influence... even Illegally Yours was an attempt at doing something decent
- marriage to Bruce Willis helped Demi Moore stay in the spotlight through some late 80s flops til Ghost
- taking off to Europe for extended periods of time doesn't help your career, eg Molly, Andy
