Not just a “one-two” punch debut in films but a “one-two-three” punch before sadly passing away too early: James Dean.
All three of his films, East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause, and Giant are considered classics of 1950’s cinema and his acting in each of the three is spectacular.
What might have he done had he not died in a car accident?

Yes and no. He was an actor in Germany/Austria loooong before QT introduced him to the world.
I for one am German and know him from a German/Austrian show called „Kommissar Rex“ about a German Shephard that helps the police solve cases (yup, that show was hugely successful). And in one episode Waltz place a crazy puppet-maker who dresses up women as dolls and kills them when they don‘t comply. Gave me nightmares as a small kid

Pretty much any movie I've seen multiple times and really liked works for me if I'm tired. I can just not think about it and let it wash over me, and before I know it, I'm out.

Lord of the Rings directors cut. I've yet to stay awake through any of them. Some of the best rest I've ever gotten.

Not saying it’s the greatest of all time but a recent amazing one-two punch would be Rachel Sennot, Shiva Baby and Bodies, Bodies, Bodies - she plays two roles completely opposite from one another and carries each film

Although I was first introduced to Ol’Petersen as Grissom, it wasn’t until I watched the TV movie adaptation of the Peter Benchley novel “Beast” (also called Beast) that I actually saw how great he was. He literally turned what should’ve been a crap “made for TV” movie into something I’ve watched many, many times and still continue to enjoy. If you liked Jaws and enjoy sea monster-ish films, I highly recommend it. It terrified me as a child and still does today but any sea monster-ish film does. Just the thought of Architeuthis dux gets me shivering.
To answer your question however, I think Stephen Dorff had an excellent start to his career and, in all honesty, I don’t think he was a bad actor. I just think he got put in big budget films in roles that weren’t quite for him. He was awesome in Space Truckers (highly recommend that as a guilty pleasure too).

Who knew a guy named Joseph who insisted on calling himself Joss would end up being a problematic weirdo?

The Royal Tannenbaums, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, NOPE. I can fall asleep to anything if the volume is just right

Two of my favorites. Pretty incredible she did both of those before she was 14 years old.

Princess bride. Literally tellinging a story to a kid going to sleep. Any random screen you hear or wake up for is great.

The movie came out right when 'alternative' music went mainstream so the movie plays off reversing a lot of 80s American high school tropes.
It's got Luke Perry from 90210 as the love interest. The movie is filled with meta humour if you grew up in the 80s.
Pee Wee Herman's death scene is hilarious.

It's serious half the time. The rest is snark and quips.

Are you just going by descriptions without actually having seen it? It balances comedy and drama. Sometimes they overlap, sometimes they don't. There's an attempted rape scene that's played very straight, there's a very realistic death that's neither horror nor comedy, the main character struggles with PTSD...
