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...

Witherspoon stars opposite Meryl Streep and Jake Gyllenhaal in a D.C.-set political yarn about a chemical engineer entangled in a bombing conspiracy.

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.

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
