Legally Blonde

As pop punk bards Bowling For Soup put it in their song “High School Never Ends”: “Reese Witherspoon, she’s the prom queen.” Since her debut in the coming-of-age romance The Man in the Moon in 1991, Reese Witherspoon has been one of Hollywood’s premier movie stars. While mostly known for romantic dramas and comedies, the best Reese Witherspoon movies see her stretching her creative muscles into the realm of thrillers, sci-fi fantasies, and even action. In 2001, Witherspoon cemented her stardom with the blockbuster Legally Blonde, with her role as Elle Woods becoming a millennial icon. In 2006, she won an Oscar for her portrayal as country singer June Carter in James Mangold’s Walk the Line.

Spinning from her success as a movie actress, Witherspoon has become a powerhouse producer, with films like Gone Girl, Lucy in the Sky, and Where the Crawdads Sing under her company Hello Sunshine. She has also jumped into television, starring in hits like The Morning Show and Little Fires Everywhere. On top of that, she also has her own book club, in case you want to beef up your reading list. In celebration of the actress' continued success, here are the best Reese Witherspoon movies, ranked. (For clarity, we’re excluding her TV roles from consideration.)

32. Hot Pursuit (2015)

31. Best Laid Plans (1999)

Best Laid Plans

In this mostly forgotten crime drama from director Mike Barker, Reese Witherspoon stars as Kathy, a waitress and temptress who seduces a wealthy man (Josh Brolin) as part of a scheme to pay off a $15,000 debt to a small-time crook. While there’s some novelty in watching such a small, obscure movie boast outsized talent – alongside Witherspoon and Brolin, the movie also stars Alessandro Nivola and Terrence Howard – Best Laid Plans is unremarkable in its pale imitation of the Coen Brothers.

30. Devil’s Knot (2013)

(Image credit: RLJ Entertainment)

Devil’s Knot

The real-life case of the West Memphis Three, a grisly crime with occult underpinnings committed in 1993 in a deeply religious corner of Arkansas, has been covered in many acclaimed true crime documentaries. Thus, critics found a fairly routine narrative film version of the story underwhelming; the movie has just a 25% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Still, Reese Witherspoon dazzles in her sympathetic performance as Pamela Hobbs, the mother of one of the victims. If only the rest of the movie was on her same level.

29. Your Place or Mine (2023)

(Image credit: Netflix)

Your Place or Mine

Released at a time when audiences expressed widespread yearning for the near-extinct breed of studio romantic comedies, Netflix’s Your Place or Mine hardly heralded its resurrection. Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher lead as best friends with a romantic past who swap homes and learn new things about each other. While cozy, Your Place or Mine can’t help but evoke other, better rom-coms that have come before, with Witherspoon and Kutcher lacking the right onscreen chemistry to make their connection feel electric.

23. Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, and Blonde (2003)

(Image credit: MGM)

Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, & Blonde

It’s the lesser of the Legally Blonde films starring Reese Witherspoon, but it still has enough laughs to clear a low bar and make a statement. Witherspoon returns as Elle Woods, a fabulous Harvard Law grad who now works as a lawyer. Elle Woods navigates the political swamp waters of Washington D.C. and its apathy towards animal rights, with a case stemming from her own pet chihuahua and her own law firm representing an unethical cosmetics company. While it ranks far below its predecessor in the hilarity department, Legally Blonde 2 is simply more of Witherspoon having a ball as one of her all-time greatest movie characters.

22. Little Nicky (2000)

(Image credit: New Line Cinema)

Little Nicky

Reese Witherspoon has only a modest supporting role in Adam Sandler’s riotous supernatural comedy Little Nicky, but she makes every moment as a heavenly angel who giggles like a sorority sister. The movie primarily centers on Satan’s son (Sandler) who comes up to Earth and learns to harness his good side. Witherspoon appears halfway through the movie, appearing as Nicky’s mother Holly, to inform him that there is a light within him to balance out the dark. Witherspoon joyously plays up her popular image as Hollywood’s “it” girl, even when Sandler awkwardly calls her “mommy.”

21. A Wrinkle in Time (2018)

(Image credit: Walt Disney Studios)

A Wrinkle in Time

In Ava DuVernay’s majestic adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s classic YA science fantasy, Reese Witherspoon plays the lively Mrs. Whatsit (not Mrs. Who, who is like a billion years older), an astral being who tells them that their missing father’s study of space travel is, in fact, all true. Mrs. Whatsit whisks the children away into an unbelievable adventure through the cosmos, and she does so with gusto. Throughout A Wrinkle in Time, Witherspoon exhibits a different and no less fun side to her onscreen persona, mixing known archetypes like “sassy grandma” and “curious space alien” to create something totally new.

20. Rendition (2007)

(Image credit: New Line Cinema)

Rendition

In this grounded, if also clumsy political spy thriller released in the heat of the Iraq War, Reese Witherspoon stars as the wife of an Egyptian-born chemical engineer accused of links to terrorism. Witherspoon is only one of many A-listers in the movie, which also includes Meryl Streep, Jake Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, and J.K. Simmons. But Witherspoon takes center stage as a woman determined to know the whereabouts of her husband, who has fallen victim to the CIA’s ghoulish practice of racially-motivated extraordinary rendition.

19. Vanity Fair (2004)

(Image credit: Focus Features)

Vanity Fair

Admittedly, Reese Witherspoon doesn’t have the right bite to accurately play the conniving lead Becky Sharp from the 1848 novel Vanity Fair. Still, Mira Nair’s big screen version of the story from 2004 picks up the slack with delectable set design, ostentatious costuming, and immersion of its period Victorian settings. And yes, Witherspoon is still quite good in it even if she wasn’t the best choice for a character with extremely specific sharp angles.

18. The Importance of Being Earnest (2002)

(Image credit: Miramax Films)

The Importance of Being Earnest

Oliver Parker’s film adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s 1895 classic play maintains the light, fluffy vibe of Wilde’s famous satire of mistaken identities and high society. Reese Witherspoon plays an admirable Cecily, a flower child in 1890s London who has fallen for an “Ernest,” unaware that he’s actually Algernon (Rupert Everett). Parker’s movie is a serviceable version of the story for any high school student shirking any obligations to actually read the thing, and Witherspoon charms as a delightful Cecily.

17. Twilight (1998)

Twilight starring Reese Witherspoon

16. Water for Elephants (2011)

Water for Elephants

In 2011, Francis Lawrence helmed the handsome romantic drama Water for Elephants, based on a 2006 historical novel set in and around a famous circus. While the movie’s primary lead is Twilight’s Robert Pattinson, an aimless med student who ends up working for a circus, his co-star is none other than Reese Witherspoon who delights as the enchanting performer Marlena. There’s not enough chemistry between Witherspoon and Pattinson for Water for Elephants to really swim, but it’s nevertheless a beautifully sweet movie for the hopeless romantics in all of us.

15. Four Christmases (2008)

Four Christmases

14. American Psycho (2000)

(Image credit: Lionsgate)

American Psycho

Let’s be clear: American Psycho is a searing, stone cold classic. It’s easily one of the best movies of the 21st century. But is it a great Reese Witherspoon movie? That’s up for debate. Witherspoon only appears in the movie for a few onscreen minutes as Evelyn, the vapid fiance of Christian Bale’s sociopathic serial killer Patrick Batmean. Frankly, any other up-and-comer at the time could have played her, and Evelyn would still have the same nominal impact. Still, all of American Psycho is phenomenal, and Witherspoon’s subsequent superstardom has only made her bit part all the more fascinating.

13. The Good Lie (2014)

The Good Lie

12. Wild (2014)

(Image credit: Fox Searchlight Pictures)

Wild

Based on Cheryl Strayed’s 2012 best-selling memoir, Wild stars Reese Witherspoon as the real-life author who goes on a solo hiking trip on the 1,100 mile-long Pacific Crest Trail to meditate on her life’s aimless directions. Occupying the Venn Diagram between Into the Wild and Eat, Pray, Love, Wild has a magnetic Witherspoon, who shoulders the movie’s hefty weight as a woman in desperate search for self-actualization. Fittingly, Witherspoon received a Best Actress nomination for her performance.

11. Cruel Intentions (2000)

(Image credit: Sony Pictures Releasing)

Cruel Intentions

Once upon a time, Hollywood studios openly made smut for teenagers. In this brazenly lurid thriller from Roger Kumble, which modernizes a 1782 French novel, two wealthy New York stepsiblings make a bet for one of them, Sebastian (Ryan Philippe) to sleep with the chaste Annette Hargrove (Reese Witherspoon) who is set to join their elite prep school in the fall. The movie’s primary romantic tensions rest in steadfast Annette slowly falling for a known womanizer like Sebastian, and vice versa. But the rest of Cruel Intentions' gaudy qualities make it one of the most fascinating relics of late ’90s mainstream teen culture, a chronicle of a generation’s widespread fixation on sex.

10. Freeway (1996)

(Image credit: Paramount Pictures)

Freeway

In this dark retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, troubled and illiterate teenager Vanessa (Reese Witherspoon) escapes Los Angeles to live with her grandmother. Along the way she evades danger, including the clutches of a “wolf” – a serial killer named Bob Wolverton (Kiefer Sutherland). Freeway is a grimy movie, with plenty of dirt in its fingernails and a startling Witherspoon exhibiting her evolving maturity as an actress. In just a few years Witherspoon would be known for characters like Tracy Flick and Elle Woods, but Freeway has her going in a completely different and no less compelling direction.

9. Inherent Vice (2014)

(Image credit: Warner Bros. Pictures)

Inherent Vice

Paul Thomas Anderson’s surreal epic Inherent Vice – set in ’70s Los Angeles – is an expansive comedy-drama that sends up hard boiled detective stories with hippie humor. It’s an incredible movie destined for a place in the canon of new American classics. Much like another towering classic, American Psycho, Reese Witherspoon only has a small part; she has just a few minutes of screen time as a buttoned-up district attorney in a secret fling with main protagonist Doc (Joaquin Phoenix). Though Witherspoon’s role is minimal, she’s still a key part in contributing to the many layers of humanity seen in Inherent Vice.

8. Fear (1996)

(Image credit: Universal Pictures)

Fear

Co-starring with her then real-life boyfriend Mark Wahlberg, Reese Witherspoon makes the absolute most of a middling psychological thriller tailor made for young adults. Witherspoon stars as 16-year-old Nicole Walker, who falls for a mysterious young man named David (Wahlberg). David quickly exhibits horrifically abusive behavior, which kicks off a propulsive plot that sees Nicole try to outrun David’s reach. Witherspoon does not have fond memories of shooting Fear; in a 2023 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Witherspoon revealed how uncomfortable she was on the day she shot the movie’s infamous roller coaster sex scene. “I didn’t have control over it,” Witherspoon said, “It wasn’t a particularly great experience.”

7. Pleasantville (1998)

(Image credit: New Line Cinema)

Pleasantville

An affectionate parody of ’50s sitcoms, Pleasantville basically pulled off WandaVision before the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Tobey Maguire and Reese Witherspoon co-star as siblings from the real (and modern) world who are magically transported into the black and white universe of Pleasantville, a fictional ’50s TV show. Because Maguire and Witherspoon are cool teens from the late ’90s, their presence disrupts Pleasantville to literally and figuratively become more colorful. Pleasantville is understated yet fantastical, with most of its entertainment value in its tender satirizing of a Leave It to Beaver-esque America that never really existed.

2. Legally Blonde (2001)

Legally Blonde

It just may be Reese Witherspoon’s defining movie. The 2001 rom-com Legally Blonde, which stars Witherspoon as a quintessential sorority girl who enrolls in Harvard Law School. (What? Like it’s hard?) There’s no explosions, superheroes, or special effects, yet Legally Blonde is a certified Hollywood blockbuster, grossing $118 million and spawning a multimedia franchise that includes sequels and even a Broadway musical. Elle Woods, whose bubblegum pink surface belies her learned intelligence and determination, is Witherspoon operating at maximum power, embodying the role with exactly the precise calibrations to make the character an icon for generations.

1. Election (1999)

(Image credit: Paramount Pictures)

Election

Sadness pervades in Alexander Payne’s 1999 satirical comedy Election. Set in the dog-eat-dog world of a Nebraska high school, Reese Witherspoon stars as the overambitious and tragically lonely Tracy Flick. While Tracy is all set to win her school’s election for student body president uncontested, a petty history teacher (Matthew Broderick) inspires a popular jock (Chris Klein) to run against her. Election is darkly hilarious, with the movie going to unexpectedly bleak thematic places in its portrait of unhappiness and discontent in mediocre, dead-end surroundings. But Reese Witherspoon is anything but average, and her timeless portrayal of Tracy Flick illustrates our inherent need for balance.
