First on this list is one of the latest from Reese Witherspoon, coming out late in her career as she delves into a more serious role. This movie is a powerful and emotional one, with Witherspoon playing her character perfectly.

This movie is adapted from the 1998 novel by Tom Perrotta and has successfully translated the themes of elections, manipulation, and ambition in the school setting as an allegory to real life.

3. Mud

Not exactly a Reese Witherspoon movie by most definitions, Mud is an amazing Southern drama starring Matthew McConaughey, Tye Sheridan, Jacob Lofland, and of course, Reese Witherspoon.

The film tells the story of two teenagers who end up meeting Mud, a fugitive they help hide from his pursuers. Combining mystery, some action, and great acting performances from the cast, this coming-of-age movie is definitely a must-see.

4. Legally Blond

There’s no writing a Reese Witherspoon movie list without including arguably her most famous movie to date. Legally Blond, despite its predictability, formulaic, and at times lazy writing has become a cult classic. Mostly because it’s a product of its time, but also because Witherspoon is able to pull off the dumb, blonde, lawyer whose able to miraculously pull off making it through life despite everything.

You’re no Reese Witherspoon fan if you haven’t seen Legally Blond yet.

5. The Man In The Moon

As Reese Witherspoon’s film debut, The Man In The Moon is a great coming-of-age movie thanks to its great cast, heartwarming tone, and excellent storytelling.
