Liotta had a crucial role in Phil Alden Robinson’s sports fantasy about a farmer who builds a baseball field that attracts the ghosts of legends from the game.

This tearjerker family film charts the burgeoning relationship between a Black nanny (Whoopi Goldberg) and the hunky Jewish widower (Liotta) who hires her to watch his grieving daughter (Tina Majorino). Yes, it glosses over the realities of interracial relationships would have been like in uber-segregated 1950s Los Angeles. But are you probably made of stone if your heart doesn’t surge during Goldberg and Liotta’s first kiss, as witnessed by a jubilant Majorino. It’s a far cry from the frenetic energy people usually associated with Liotta — and introduced his blue-eyed, smoldering charms to a generation of millennials and zillennials.

When Liotta’s LAPD officer Pete Davis first appears in Jonathan Kaplan’s domestic-nightmare thriller, we’re happy to see him. A young couple, Michael and Karen Carr (played by Kurt Russell and Madeleine Stowe), have just endured a violent home invasion. Davis is the cop who arrives on the scene to help them. Then he becomes infatuated with Karen and begins plotting ways to remove Michael from her life. Liotta is brilliant as he slowly reveals the true madness of Davis, as well as the deep loneliness that drives him. When we played a violent killer in Goodfellas, audiences rooted for him to get away with it. Here, you’re rooting against him the entire time. Rarely has a big screen cop been quite so frightening.
