I gotta say I haven't seen most of these, especially the chick flicks, but I did really like Blowout and Pulp Fiction.

I liked the Look Who's Talking films. I did not like Travolta in the "mom" role in Hairspray. A woman should have played that character. He was offered the Richard Gere role in Chicago and turned it down so I guess he felt he had to do a musical, but he should have waited until the right vehicle came along. I am a great fan, but feel Travolta does not choose his movies carefully enough. He seems more often than not to be in it for the paycheck. Yes, Staying Alive was a baaaad movie. They should have let the Saturday Night Fever character live on in our memories as the average Joe he really was.

As you said, not many actors can claim to having in starred in 3 iconic films. One of my favorite childhood memories is seeing "Grease" at the movies during the summer of '78. I remember that one of my classmates was a big "Grease" fan too. She even had the "fotonovel" companion to the movie!
Aw man was "Moment By Moment" horrible! I finally saw it a few years ago. Barbarino and Ernestine the telephone operator... a match made in movie hell.
Although the movie was only so-so, one of John's more interesting roles was in the little seen 1995 film "White Man's Burden". I do give the filmmakers credit for tackling an interesting premise (an alternate America in which Blacks and Whites have switched cultural roles). I think it would have been better in the hands of a writer/director like Spike Lee.
