Definitely Jennifer Lopez as Selena - the only movie of hers I really liked. She did a great job.

Lou Diamond Phillips and Esai Morales - La Bamba

Joaquin Phoenix & Reese Witherspoon - Walk The Line

Keanu Reeves (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure) - No matter what else he does that's more successful, he'll always be Ted to me.

Jim Varney (Ernest Goes to Camp) - As well as all the other Ernest movies. But this one's his first.

Steve Buscemi (Ghost World) - This may be just me. But this is my favorite movie he did and whenever I see him in anything else, I think of this movie.

Anna Chlumsky (My Girl) - It helps that she hasn't done all that much since My Girl 2, but still, I'll always think of her as Vada. This is one of my favorite movies.

Macaulay Culkin (Home Alone) - Even though I liked him in "My Girl", I'd be lying if I didn't say "Home Alone." That's the movie you think of when you think of Mac.

Natasha Lyonne (Slums of Beverly Hills) - I love this movie, and this seems to be the only thing I really liked her in. Kevin Corrigan was great in this movie as well. His being in this movie was the sole reason I bought "Grounded for Life" on DVD recently.
