The only thing I can add to this thread is a question. Has there been another actress that has "kept it together" throughout time like ELISABETH SHUE??!?
The things that a young Stive, growing up in the '80's, imagined about her, aren't suitable for the internet.
lol i think we all had those same thoughts and then she did Leaving Las Vegas and we got to see how that played out.

That kind of shattered my pubescent memories of her.

But we'll always have that opening sequence in Adventures in Babysitting.
The conversations will be uncomfortable, but we all have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable for progress to be made.

Penelope Ann Miller starred in Kindergarten Cop, Carlito's Way, Biloxi Blues, among others.
Bradley Whitfield was Josh Lymon on the West Wing and for Adam Sandler fans he was the nemesis in Billy Madison, but also in Philadelphia, the Client, Kate and Leopold etc.
Ron Canada has been in a ton of things, mostly as character actor parts but a face you would almost certainly recognize.
Lolita Davidovich starred in a host of movies in the 90's - Mystery Alaska, Intersection to name a couple.

But they were all pretty much unknowns at the time - none of them became superstars, which is why I said sneaky good...not incredible, just one of those movies you look back on and see a bunch of people you recognize as having achieved more success later.

Martin Scorsese in general makes really intriguing openers.

Goodfellas and The Departed were terrific as well.
