Not often that I show up in this thread, but Oppenheimer is in the conversation for Nolan's best film. And I know he has a pretty solid body of work, but having seen all of it (except Tenet, and arguably Interstellar [viewing was impaired]), I am pretty happy to say it's up there.
I don't want this to prejudge anyone's viewing, of course!

Bingo! Se7en at least gives you an idea of where her career was going to head. Hook, she's basically just standing in a boxed set.
Beautifully done!

I can attest to this fact. I rewatched Hook last year for @Donomark and I’s Peter Pan review and completely forgot she was in it.
Easily done!

Same with Seven, that's not a showcase for her.
She's third-billed in Seven. Whether or not her role in that film is a showcase is a separate argument, but it's at the very least more than a 3 second showing of turning around and exclaiming "Peter!"

Looking at her filmography, I was surprised to discover how little of her work I've seen. Outside of her Marvel role, it's only five other movies: Hook, Seven, Shakespeare in Love, The Royal Tenenbaums, and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
And you can't really call her contribution to Hook to be much of anything.

Yes, you can help influence not only the film Pandy & I use as the joint review, but the homework we assign each other to plot the range of their career. As announced in Episode 95, our subject will be Gwyneth Paltrow.
Pandy & I will take an executive decision on what makes the joint review by 22 July 2023 so get your ideas in before then!

Hercules (1997) vs Star Trek (2009)
OR, if you've not seen that Star Trek film (like presumably @slothian)...
Hercules (1997) vs Superman II
Sorry, too long since I've seen either. And you presume correctly!
In Bruges vs Some Like It Hot

Good show! Only half-listened to Midsommar to make the spoilers easier to forget if I ever get round to watching it, but a round-table on The Wicker Man is always welcome!
Consider the episode plugged on the next HAA!
Granted, it hasn't been edited down fully yet, but by jingo when it gets published...

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1996) vs. The Dark Knight Rises
Haven't seen Hunchback in a while, but I'm going to say DKR. Not by much, but the acting and effects make up for the defincies in the story.

Belated thanks!

Psycho vs The Truman Show
Hot Fuzz vs Robocop (original)
The Mummy (1999) vs LOTR: The Two Towers

Many people complain that it's in unfinished story, and it is, but for the time I had with this one, there were so many terrific qualities to this that it's separate from the whole of the story on a pen-to-paper plot standard.
Empire Strikes Back is also an unfinished story; I reject that line of criticism.
Yet to see the new Spider-verse film.

I never gave them a moment's thought before, but the sass and the design of the eyes do not scream "virginal" to me.

Probably A Knight's Tale, but both need a rewatch.
The Exorcist vs The Godfather
Pretty straightforward, that one...
