She is in
She’s been a few good movies, Robocop, Dressed to Kill, Blo Out, Carrie but these movies are good in spite of Nancy Allen and would have been better with someone else

You're entitled to your opinion... But I don't agree.
She's fantastic.

Nancy Allen is terrific in Carrie.
Other than that, she is the very definition of a mediocre actress.

I think she's perfectly fine. Nothing special but I don't think there's anything especially bad about her.

She’s not very good in Blow-Out - the best of her films which I’ve seen - but I actually think she is very effective in Dressed to Kill.

I have no strong feelings towards her for the most part. Although I thought she was good in her brief role in Out of Sight.

I definitely don’t have strong feelings about her. She was ok in Carrie and Robocop, but I don’t remember her from anything else.

I don't have any strong opinion on her, never struck me as terrible.

I thought she was perfectly cast as Chris Hargensen. Nobody could have done it any better.
She was just fine in "Dressed to Kill".

You're talking about her in Verhoeven and De Palma movies. Those two are probably the worst directors I can think of for portraying female characters ie either they were being drilled into a floor or they were psychos, skanks, bullies, airheads, hookers, butch, dykes etc. I've seen a few films where Allen played characters with more heart and she was pretty good.

I know a lot of people dislike 1941 quite a bit but she’s great in that film as the airplane obsessed object of affection of Tim Matheson.

I only know her as Mrs RoboCop. So I'm afraid I can't really add much to this thread. I'm not qualified enough on this topic to speculate on if the OP is a blonde actress hating serial killer in training or not.

Another performance is her repressed Beatles fan in I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND (1978). She convinces herself that she has put away childish things so she can elope with her domineering boyfriend, and live the standard conventional housewife life...until she ends up in the Beatles hotel room and gets liberated.
