A lot of well known actors of today got their start in less than memorable roles in less than memorable movies. There are a few listed though that could be listed in the "GOOD" movies catagory. I just think the "BAD" list would be longer. Here's a sampling:
CRITTERS 3 1991 Leonardo Dicaprio
RETURN TO HORROR HIGH 1987
RETURN OF THE KILLER TOMATOES 1988 George Clooney
I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST
SUMMER 1998 Jack Black
FRIDAY THE 13TH 1980 Kevin Bacon
C.H.U.D. 1984 John Goodman
PARASITE 1985 Demi Moore
THE POSSESSED 1977 (MADE FOR TV) Harrison Ford
REVENGE OF THE CREATURE 1955 Clint Eastwood (age 22)
GHOULIES 1985 Mariska Hargitay
WITHOUT WARNING 1980 David Caruso
A STUDY IN TERROR 1965 Judi Dench "M" from 007 movies
ONCE BITTEN 1985 Jim Carey
I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF 1957 Michael Landon

Hey SL! See, that covers you being either Silverlady or Silverlaldy. :smile:
I like this subject.. there's lots of movies that actors/actresses would likely leave off their resume if they could. A few:
Whoopi Goldberg- The Telephone (as well as Rip Torn directing it)
Ernest Borgnine- Deadly Blessing
Dennis Hopper- Super Mario Bros.
Glenn Ford- Happy Birthday To Me
Joan Crawford- Trog
I worked with and chatted with John Goodman on a weekend occasion ("The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" - OtherWorld Media/PRI/Lodestone), and he wasn't embarrased by either CHUD or Arachnaphobia, but he did express a preferance for Coen Brothers insanity -
peter johnson/denny crane
I recently watched Brad Pitt in CUTTING CLASS (1989). I don't know his feelings about it - but I was certainly embarrassed for him.

Tom Cruise - LEGEND...
Though perceived as a career misstep at it's creation,
CRUISE got the opportunity to work with the young
RIDLEY SCOTT. I don't think
TOM would want to forget this one all these years later;
LEGEND was quite the flop in its day, but it always looked fantastic and the cache of this film continues to grow, plus it is truly one of
RIDLEY SCOTT's great films.
Burt Young (using a different name in the credits) in CARNIVAL OF BLOOD.
Peter Sellers in The Fiendish Plot Of Dr. Fu Manchu.
Michael Caine in Jaws IV, The Hand, Blame It On Rio, actually a lot of films!
Peter Ustinov in Charlie Chan And The Curse Of The Dragon Queen.
