Christine Lahti has been around for a while and whether she’s been a lead or a supporting actor she’s always had the kind if poise and control that you simply love to see in a person on film. Her level of talent is great enough that back in her day she was a stunner and no one to be messed with since she was just that good. Even today she’s still impressive though she, like many others of the old guard, is now beginning to fade slightly into the background and take her place behind the camera more often than in front. The one thing that no one can ever take away from anyone that’s been around for decades though is that they have paved the way for the current stars that are enjoying the spotlight.
She’s perhaps one of the best and most underrated actors of her time.
5. Running on Empty-Annie Pope
Life on the run isn’t easy for anyone, but it’d be even harder on a kid who needs to have a life and can’t possibly fathom what it takes to keep moving from one identity to the next. When their son, who bears no responsibility for the crimes they’re running from, becomes interested in a girl and in a life as an aspiring pianist, Annie and Arthur have to make a hard choice and leave him behind to lead his own life.
4. Hideaway-Lindsey
When a person dies it’s generally believed that their soul goes one way or the other, but not that it returns from the fabled pathways that determine its next course. Of course when Hatch comes back he doesn’t really come alone. The thriller that was written by Dean Koontz and adapted to film was something quite creepy and altogether horrifying as it raises a lot of questions about what’s waiting on the other side when we die.
3. Gross Anatomy-Dr. Rachel Woodruff
The study of anatomy isn’t the easiest thing to go through since the human body is a series of different parts that need to be studied, examined, and given ample time to research in order to fully understand. Just going into it with a devil may care attitude might work in the movies but in real life it’s something that is ill-advised and is less than admirable. In this movie at least the students and the teachers come to fully understand just what it means to get into and complete the program.
2. Funny About Love-Meg Lloyd Bergman
Even those that seemingly have everything tend to find that one thing that they can’t live without once they experience what it is. Of course as a person ages the expectation of being fertile starts to decline, and for the couple in this movie there’s the very real idea that they might not be able to conceive a child no matter how hard they work at it. The methods in this movie to increase fertility are perhaps the funniest part.
1. …And Justice for All-Gail Packer
There is a way to care about justice and then there is a way to just tick everyone off. Al Pacino’s character is supported by very few people throughout the film but he’s harangued by many. Unfortunately that’s what seems to happen to those that have a strong sense of justice and no real idea on how to compromise.
She’s great, that’s all that needs to be said.
