The Color Purple (1985).

Mikhail Baryshnikov has received credit for performances in the following films: * The Turning Point (1977) - his film debut * White Nights (1985) * Dancers (1987) * Company Business (1991) Um... That would be "The Turning Point" (1977), that film introduced him to film and speaking roles. He was basically playing himself--they gave him a different name, but essentially he was... just Misha. I think they were capitalizing on his fame and renown talent.
