I didn't realize he/she was in that

I've never found Leoni believable. She always seems kind of hazy and unfocused.

 

I've always loved the low-rent horror flicks (and often the shitty sequels, at that) a lot of stars made their debuts in. Kevin Bacon in Friday the 13th and Johnny Depp in Nightmare on Elm Street are the most memorable, of course, but there's a host of others:

Charlize Theron - Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest

Reese Witherspoon Renee Zellweger AND Matthew McConaughey - Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation. This one, especially, fascinates me that two of the biggest stars of the next 20 years had their career paths cross in a movie like this right before both of them hit it big. It was like a fraternity initiation for both of them. They made it through, and the Hollywood illuminati laughed and said, "All right all right all right ... you're both cool. You're in."

Jennifer Anniston - Leprechaun
Eva Mendes - Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror
Cory Feldman - Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
Leonardo Dicaprio - Critters 3
George Clooney - Return to Horror High and Return of the Killer Tomatoes
Tom Hanks - He Knows You're Alone

 

Wasn't Renee Zellweger in the 'Texas Chainsaw' movie?

 

Yes, she was. Not sure where I pulled Reese Witherspoon from.

 

Zellweger and McConaughey came out of the same Texas casting agency, I think. She also has an uncredited part in Dazed and Confused, as the girl who walks past Wooderson right before his famous "high school chicks" line:



You can see her more clearly in the "beer bust" scene:

 

Wasn't Sissy Spacek also?

 

I think you're thinking of 'Look Who's Talking, Too.'

 

How can you list all those and neglect to note:
Jamie Lee Curtis -- Halloween

EDIT: Never mind. I see you noted that in a previous post.

 

Topher Grace in 'Good Will Hunting.'

 

Does anybody who knows anything about Jamie Lee Curtis not know she was in Halloween?

 

Not a he/she, but a song ... watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding again tonight on HBO Comedy. When they get from the wedding to the dinner/reception, the first song you hear from the wedding band you hear is All My Lonely Dreams, which is the flipside to That Thing You Do! from the movie of the same name.

 

Plus, Halloween is a classic. Even if it was low-budget, it's probably one of the five best horror movies ever made and is an important film in cinematic history as a whole. Jamie Lee Curtis doesn't cringe when it pops up on her IMDB page.
