One of the coolest things for me is to watch an old 80's movie and suddenly recognize someone that went on to a much greater fame. Here are a few that I enjoyed:
1. Tom Cruise & Jamie Gertz in "Endless Love".
2. Jim Carey in "Once Bitten" & "Peggy Sue Got Married".
3. Lori Loughlin at the end of "Footloose" in the dance scene...check it out.
4. Brad Pitt in "Less Than Zero".
5. Matt Damon in "Mystic Pizza".
What about you, who have you enjoyed finding in an old 80's movie?

Check the Party scene...Brad Pitt is standing in a doorway..it might even be in the background of a fight. Definitely use the slo-mo.
My John Cusack spotting was in the movie "Class" along with Virginia Madsen.

Lori Loughlin in Footloose??? Are you sure??? That is pretty interesting.
I loved Jim Carrey in Peggy Sue Got Married and Once Bitten.
Trivia Info tidbit: Michael J. Fox was offered the role of Mark Kendall in Once Bitten but felt it was too close to his Teen Wolf role and didn't take it.

How about Helen Hunt in "Quarterback Princess" with two future Top Gunners ...Cougar (John Stockwell) and Merlin (Tim Robbins). The name of the movie is hoaxy, but I liked it.
Jessie, I have no proof it's Lori Loughlin, but check out the beginning of the dance scene at the end of "Footloose" and let me know what you think. Also, cool factoid about Michael J. Fox, I enjoy that kind of stuff.

Matthew Perry in "Charles In Charge" - okay so technically not a movie and fairly well known but I am grasping at straws.
Oooh - I know. Naomi Watts in a late 80s/early90s TV ad for lamb being told she has won a dinner with Tom Cruise. She says she can't because her mum is making a lamb roast. Irony is that Naomi Watts is Nicole Kidman's best friend.

It is the fight scene/palm springs party scene at the end and you have to put it in MEGA slo-mo but I am pretty sure it is him.
Also - Chynna Phillips is Hardy's on the side girlfriend in Some Kind of Wonderful.

I'm sure there lots more that I can think of, but right now, two names that comes to mind are James Spader, as the lawyer and college buddy of Charlie Sheen's character in Wall Street (1987); and Sandra Bernhard in The King of Comedy (1983).
Spader had been making several movies before earlier in the 80's, and this is one of his roles before he became more famous in 1989 with Sex, Lies, And Videotape.
Bernhard had been working in comedy clubs since the late 70's. But The King of Comedy was her first movie and her first real attempt at acting.

While watching "First Blood" on Encore this weekend I realized that Deputy Mitch was David Caruso of NYPD Blue & CSI: Miami fame. It was neat to see him so young.

Even earlier James Spader appearance: he was in "Endless Love" also. My favorite role of his was in "Mannequin" where he played the over-the-top, cartoonish department store manager.
Helen Hunt may have been in "Meatballs" (been awhile since I have seen it) but she was definitely Kathleen Turner's daughter in "Peggy Sue Got Married."
"Fast Times at Ridgemont High" shows Nicholas Cage in his first speaking role and has a classic early performance from Sean Penn. Which makes me wonder what Phoebe Cates is doing nowadays. She has not been in anything since the '80's.

Is that Alicia Silverstone in the final dance scene of Dirty Dancing or just a look a like? It is only a fleeting shot.
