Not Just Angelina Jolie...

Angeline Jolie will become better known as Lara Croft when the long awaited Tomb Raider hits theaters this week. Jolie hasn't always been the star of action-packed adventure flicks, though. She has shown her talent in a variety of roles that called on different skills, emotion and acting ability.

In Hackers, she helps discover a plot to unleash a dangerous computer virus as Kate Libby.

Dade Murphy: You look good in a dress.
Kate Libby: You would have looked better.

Kate Libby: Never send a boy to do a woman's job.

In Foxfire, Jolie builds a bond with other girls who share an experience they would rather forget.

Legs: This is for Goldie. It's about saving her life... and who we are to her... This is about who we are.

Madeline 'Maddy' Wirtz: Where do you live?
Margaret "Legs" Sadovsky: Mostly in my head.

In Playing by Heart, she is Joan, one of eleven people in L.A., "working through affairs of the heart."

Joan: Talking about love is like dancing about architecture.

Keenan: What did I ever do to deserve you?
Joan: Usually that line is screamed at me by someone running out the door, not by someone standing in front of me and staying. It makes for a nice change.

In Girl Interrupted, Joile gives an outstanding performance for her role as a sociopath in a mental hospital.

Lisa Rowe: If I could have any job in the world I'd be a professional Cinderella.

Lisa Rowe: So, what's your diag-nonsense?

In Gone in 60 Seconds, she joins Nicolas Cage as one of the good guys, stealing cars for the bad guys.

Sway: I've got two jobs. I've discovered that you have to work twice as hard when it's honest.

Sway: So, what do you think is more exciting? Having sex or boosting cars?
