What was America thrilling to when you were born? When your poor mother was in the pain of her young life, were the neighbors delighting in horror or farce? Schwarzenegger or Stallone? Or Kirk F. Douglas! My brother-in-law had a weakness for dumb action, and when my lovely niece was born, he was at the theater watching Time Cop. No, he has never lived that down.
What I've learned from arranging this quiz? Hit movies tend to suck. I mean, when the Michael Douglas movies are the high-end of the curve ...

Something's telling me you must be wrong, but thanks for having the stones to go first.
The Vikings was not out at the time of Terry's birth. We're still, however looking into whether actual Vikings were active.
Alas, no Ewoks for Jay.

René was not born during the brief reign of BttF3, but I heard he's been reading for a role in #4. I admire your stick-to-it'veness, just as I admire René's.
Asdrubal is a big fan of the Back trilogy, and particularly enjoyed ZZ Top's mugging in Part 3, but he was not born during the film's box office peak.
Now that's BRAIN thinking. Unfortunately, it gets you no further than the ASS thinking you've been up to so far, and your oh-fer continues. But I like your approach.
How UNJUST! Dan Warthen, raised with northern European fairy tales passed down through generations of hardy German Warthens, did indeed come into the world's light as Danny Kaye was skipping across the silver screen as HC Anderson. You are tied for second! One point off the lead!
Because I screwed you out of paying attention to your earlier guess, I won't count this as consecutive guesses. While Kevin Long is NOT CORRECT, I salute you as somebody who tackled Goodbye, Columbus, a film I did not know existed until this morning. THIS KWIZ IS EDUCATIONAL!!
