Griffith's best film was Something Wild. She played a MPDG to good effect, which you might find surprising if you haven't seen it. Ray Liotta played her possessive psycho boyfriend, and Jeff Daniels the normie who falls for her.
She wasn't bad in The Bonfire of the Vanities, but that faux Southern accent annoyed me. It may have been her voice in particular; or the daft lines they gave her, rife with excessive absurdly mangled English and American idioms; or both; or it may have been that I don't care for Hollywood faux Southern period.
But yeah, she's generally annoying for some reason.
As much as I love Beetlejuice and (let's face it) everything else Keaton has done, I will always consider Keaton to be the "real" Bat-Man, just as Kilmer is the real Doc Holliday to me.
Pacific Heights is definitely up there with my favorites. All of the performances were convincing, and, when you consider the worst neighbors or housemates you've ever had, the director's toying with the audience's natural trepidation at letting strange new people into their homes made the plot completely plausible.
