"The Sure Thing" (1985), 4 p.m.; "Mystic Pizza" (1988), 6 p.m.; "Splash" (1984), 8 p.m.; all ABC Family. There's something magical about the moment when moviegoers discover a great new talent. Here are films that established the immense skill of two directors and a star. Former TV stars Rob Reiner and Ron Howard are great directors. Reiner already had done the classic "This is Spinal Tap," but that was a pseudo-documentary. "Sure Thing" was his first traditional film, a delightful road film with John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga. Julia Roberts first charmed moviegoers with "Mystic Pizza." The story is a fairly good one about three women who work at a pizza parlor in a Connecticut fishing village. But the cast is extraordinary. You'll spot Vincent D'Onofrio and Matt Damon in support. Most of all, you'll be impressed by Roberts' layered performance as a tough-talking young woman with a fragile soul. Howard had directed small films, but "Splash" showed his talent. It's a romantic comedy pairing an ordinary chap (Tom Hanks) and a good-hearted mermaid (Daryl Hannah).
