Witherspoon channels classic femme fatales in this neo-noir that's stylish, well-acted and surprisingly low on entertainment value.
Ava DuVernay's adaptation of Madeleine L'Engle's cherished children's sci-fi novel was a mega-budgeted mess, really the only misstep to date of a great filmmaker. There are pleasures to be found within, among them Witherspoon's performance as Mrs. Whatsit opposite Oprah Winfrey (Mrs. Which) and Mindy Kaling (Mrs. Who).
A gory, pulpy, almost exploitation-level thriller about young love gone horribly wrong, Fear costars Mark Wahlberg (in his Marky Mark days) as a charming stalker, in a sense, who targets a family and their teenage daughter. Fear has something of a cult following to this day; and it's hard to resist as a shamelessly entertaining Fatal Attraction for...
On paper, this says Academy Award for Best Picture. Witherspoon stars opposite Meryl Streep and Jake Gyllenhaal in a D.C.-set political yarn about a chemical engineer entangled in a bombing conspiracy. The dull and oversimplified execution overpowers the gritty, even touching performances. Related: The TV Shows and Movies Reese Witherspoon , Ranked
Not that Twilight. One decade before Stephenie Meyer's vampire movies started ruling the zeitgeist, Witherspoon starred alongside acting vets Paul Newman, Susan Sarandon and Gene Hackman in this neo-noir about a returned private eye drawn into a blackmail scheme. Reviews criticized the slow pace while praising the committed cast.
Witherspoon played William Makepeace Thackeray's heroine Becky Sharp in Mira Nair's lavish costume drama. Critical reception was mostly lukewarm, but Roger Ebert gave the film his highest rating of four stars. He praised the way Witherspoon "effortlessly" embodied the social climber who's at once cynical and romantic.
At the height of Twilight mania, Witherspoon starred opposite Robert Pattinson in this romantic period melodrama. Witherspoon plays Marlena, a beautiful circus performer who falls for a veterinary student. Christoph Waltz costars as Marlena's villainous husband. Based on Sara Gruen's bestseller of the same name, Water for Elephants received margina...
By 2005, post-Legally Blonde and Sweet Home Alabama, Witherspoon had established herself as the queen of the rom-com. Based on the novel If Only It Were True by Marc Levy, Just Like Heaven is a fantasy rom-com that delves into the spirit realm. Despite a glossy approach to some heavy issues, the picture succeeds thanks to the chemistry of Witherspo...
In Illumination's smash hit animated jukebox musical, Witherspoon voices a pig named Rosita, a homemaker whose young dreams of stardom are reignited thanks to a local singing competition. Witherspoon did her own signing here, and one of the best parts of the movie is hearing her belt "Shake it Off" by Taylor Swift.
Witherspoon swapped her Southern accent for an English one in Oliver Parker's adaptation of Oscar Wilde's romantic dramedy. She was nominated for a Teen Choice Award (Choice Actress—Comedy) for her work. Related: The 15 Sexiest Movies on Netflix Right Now

- The Man In the Moon. Not to be confused with Jim Carrey's Andy Kaufman biopic, Man on the Moon, which came out in 1999, 1991's The Man In The Moon was Reese Witherspoon's first-ever film performance.
- Wild. In what is quite easily among her boldest, more fearless and most vulnerable performances to date, Reese Witherspoon emboldened herself to become author Cheryl Strayed and bring her raw memoir to the big screen as both an actress and a producer in the Oscar-nominated drama, Wild.
- Mud. In writer-director Jeff Nichols' poetic coming-of-age tale, Mud, everything is either fleeing or trying to find themselves. The world around them is disjointed and decayed, caked in dirt and — you guessed it — mud and nothing is particularly glamorized.
