Moore's film debut was in the 1982 3-D science fiction/horror film, Parasite, which was a hit on the drive-in circuit, ultimately grossing $7 million. However, Moore was not widely known until she played the part of Jackie Templeton on the ABC soap opera, General Hospital, from 1982-1983. Appropriately, she also had an uncredited cameo at the end of the 1982 spoof Young Doctors in Love.

In the mid-1980s, she appeared in the youth-oriented films St. Elmo's Fire and About Last Night, and she was often listed as one of the Brat Pack, a name the media dubbed a certain group of top young actors at the time. After the commercial success of Ghost, Moore was given more prominent roles in A Few Good Men, Indecent Proposal, Disclosure and The Hunchback of Notre Dame for which she was the first actress to reach the $10 million salary mark. She never duplicated the success of Ghost and had a string of flops like The Scarlet Letter and The Juror. She then took more risks like shocking her fans with several breast enhanced topless scenes in Striptease, and shaving her head for G.I. Jane. They too failed at the box office and garnered mixed reviews. At the same time she produced and starred in a TV mini-series called If These Walls Could Talk, written by Nancy Savoca. A three-part series on abortion, Savoca directed two segments, including the one in which Moore played a single woman in the 1950s seeking a back-street abortion. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress for that role.

After a break from her acting career, Moore returned to the screen as a former member of Charlie's Angels gone bad in the 2003 film Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. In 2006, she appeared in Bobby which featured an all-star cast.

On June 1, 2007, her most recent film, Mr. Brooks, was released.

After a role in Rich and Famous, Ryan played in As the World Turns from 1982 to 1984. Several TV film and smaller movie roles followed, including Amityville 3-D and Promised Land; for her role in the latter she received her first Independent Spirit Award nomination. In 1986, she played in Top Gun, and appeared in several memorable scenes. Ryan played in the movie Innerspace. Ryan then appeared in a remake (D.O.A.) and The Presidio.

Her first full-blown hit in a leading role was the romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally... (1989) for which she earned her a Golden Globe nomination. Ryan then starred in The Doors, and Prelude to a Kiss. Both films were moderately successful. 1993 saw the release of the hugely successful romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle. She made several attempts to break away from the romantic comedy ingenue stereotype, and garnered critical acclaim for her work in When a Man Loves a Woman in which she played an alcoholic and Courage Under Fire. Both films were substantial successes at the box office. Many of her films of the 1990s were hits not only in North America, but also abroad.

In 1995 she appeared in French Kiss which was a huge success worldwide, grossing slightly over $101 million. In 1997, Ryan voiced the lead role in the animated film Anastasia, which garnered good reviews and enjoyed box office success. In 1998 Ryan starred in two films: City of Angels, drew negative reviews, but became a huge financial success, topping nearly 200 million worldwide and You've Got Mail, which earned her a third Golden Globe nomination and made over $250 million worldwide.

In 2000 Ryan starred in the action thriller Proof of Life. She received a paycheck of $15 million, establishing her as one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood. The film was a critical and commercial flop. That same year, Ryan starred in the comedy Hanging Up, which received poor reviews, but grossed over $51 million. A year later, she once again returned to her romantic comedy roots in the film Kate & Leopold. The film was well-received by some critics, but failed to find an audience. In 2003, she broke away from her usual roles, starring in Jane Campion's In the Cut. While her decision earned Ryan much media attention, the movie still proved to be a failure with both critics and audiences, grossing only $23 million in theaters.

Ryan's most recent project, My Mom's New Boyfriend, is due to be released in 2008. In 2007 she played in In the Land of Women and won over critics and the public.Ryan's next project is a remake of the 1939 film The Women.
