Mean Girls and The Parent Trap to Just My Luck: Ranking Lindsay Lohan’s most iconic films to prepare you for the Lohanaissance-Louise Griffin-Entertainment – Metro

This is not a drill…she’s back

In case you missed the most important news of the year, Lindsay Lohan is back.

Yep, the queen of so many of our favourite classic 2000s film is having quite the renaissance, dipping a toe in the water as the narrator of TV series Lovestruck High and now, finally, giving us all what we need with her very own Christmas film.

Her movie Falling For Christmas sees her star as a spoiled heiress who gets into a skiing accident, suffers from total amnesia and finds herself in the care of a handsome, blue-collar lodge owner, played by Chord Overstreet.

Will it be good? Probably not. But will Lindsay Lohan be iconic in it? Of course she will.

After all, she always has been!

Starting out by playing two characters as a child star in The Parent Trap to creating a masterpiece with Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday and producing an actual cultural reset with Mean Girls, she’s got a filmography many actors could only dream of.

So, to prepare us all for the Lohanaissance, here are some of the most iconic Lindsay Lohan films.

6. I Know Who Killed Me

Not her best work, it has to be said

I Know Who Killed Me follows a young woman who is abducted and tortured by a sadistic serial killer. After surviving the abduction, she insists that her identity is that of another woman.

With a whopping eight Razzie wins, it’s undoubtedly one of Lindsay’s worst films and has even been dubbed one of the worst films ever made – but doesn’t that just make it even more iconic?

Let’s face it, a psychological thriller does not see Lindsay in her element. But it is still incredibly entertaining to watch.

5. Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

So much drama!

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen stars Lindsay as an aspiring actress, whose family moves from New York City to New Jersey.

It’s…not the best film in the world, but you cannot fault Lindsay playing up the dramatics and we have to love her for it.

4. Just My Luck (2006)

A cinematic masterpiece, thank you

Just My Luck sees Lindsay’s character Ashley, the luckiest woman in the world, say goodbye to her good fortune when she kisses a stranger (Chris Pine) at a costume party.

What’s that? Oh, just another cinematic masterpiece. Yes, Lindsay did receive a Razzie Award for her performance, but we like to think it just adds a little bit more spice to the whole thing.

It’s cute, it’s fun, and we are in dire need of a rewatch.

3. Freaky Friday (2003)

All out iconic

Freaky Friday stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay as a mother and daughter who wake up to find they’ve switched bodies – and of course chaos and hilarity ensue.

It earned Jamie a Golden Globe at the time, and is still completely beloved almost 20 years later.

Lindsay is as hilarious as always, while Jamie gives really quite an unhinged performance and between the pair of them, they make what could have been a forgettable film into a cult classic.

The best part is Lindsay and Jamie still keep in contact, with Lindsay recently telling ET of a potential sequel: ‘I love Jamie. I would definitely love to work together again, and we have spoken so we will see.’

Watch this space!

2. The Parent Trap (1998)

From the age of 12, no one was doing it like her

The Parent Trap follows Identical twins Annie and Hallie, who are separated at birth and each raised by one of their biological parents, and discover each other for the first time at summer camp.

So Lindsay, at age 12, managed to play two different characters so successfully that plenty of people assumed it was actually a pair of twins starring in the movie.

Also starring the late Natasha Richardson and Dennis Quaid, it’s full of laughs and tears.

And, as one of Lindsay’s first ever credits, it proves she’s always been a star.

1. Mean Girls (2004)

An actual cultural reset

Mean Girls saw Lindsay star as Cady Heron, a teenager who moves to America from Kenya, and experiences high school life for the first time, only to create a plot to fall in with The Plastics – Karen Smith (Amanda Seyfried), Gretchen Wieners (Lacey Chabert), and Regina George (Rachel McAdams).

For us, there was no other choice for number one. Even if you prefer one of Lindsay’s other films, Mean Girls was undoubtedly one of the most iconic films of the 2000s and has gone down in movie history.

It’s quoted probably on a daily basis, there’s a day dedicated to it every single year, and there was even a Broadway musical based on it.

It features a pretty flawless cast, including Tina Fey as Ms Norbury, and Amy Poehler as Mrs George and, 18 years later, it still, rightly, has a fanatic cult following.

Our love for this one? The limit does not exist.
