We need a special phrase along the lines of "jumping the shark" for that moment when Morbius bails on a thread. It's almost like a badge of honour.

Scott Baio was never better than as the title role in "Bugsy Malone". Also love the dude who played Fat Sam (John Cassissi - also his debut and only film role)

His earliest roles were in commercials and minor roles in the films What's Up Scarlett, Wassup Rockers (2005), and Mr. Fix It (2006) alongside David Boreanaz.[1][2] His first named role, and big break, was as "Queenie" in the romantic drama Water for Elephants, alongside actors Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon.[1][3]

think Heavenly Creatures was the debut movie for both of its main actors, Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey, who are both pretty impressive in it.

Definitely my favourite Winslet performance, she usually annoys me a bit.

I cheated on this one, shouldn't have overlooked it (in the running for my favourite): Eva Marie Saint in On the Waterfront.
