B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Reese Witherspoon into the ol’ VCR. 

I’ve always been a big Reese Witherspoon fan, and, to be honest, this is the hardest list I’ve had to make for a spotlight. From a neurotic high school prospective president to a bubbly lawyer wanting to save her beloved Chihuahua’s mother, Reese has brought some of my favorite fictional characters to life. 

Although I’m not going to mention her characters from American Psycho or Fear, these roles shouldn’t be shrugged off. Reese Witherspoon is a gem and should be treated as such. 

Without further ado, let’s pay tribute to an icon. 

Election 

I’ve talked about Election before, so I won’t just regurgitate my other piece, and keep it short. This movie is such a wonderful personification of 90s films, and it can’t be replicated. Reese’s Tracy Flick is the cherry on top. 

Legally Blonde

I’ve also talked about Legally Blonde in depth, so I won’t bore all of you again with the details. This movie is iconic, and there’s a reason that Elle Woods has such a lasting legacy. 

Penelope 

I know Penelope is a bit of a dark horse, but hear me out. I feel like this movie is often overlooked, and I don’t understand how. Catherine O’Hara is even in it, for crying out loud. 

“Man, I’m so glad I bought that Conair Quick Braid off eBay.” 

Big Little Lies

I was a little late to the game on Big Little Lies because I was worried it was being overhyped. Even though I’m a Leo, I can admit when I’m wrong.

Cruel Intentions 

If you didn’t think Cruel Intentions wouldt be on my Reese list, you don’t know me at all. 

Sweet Home Alabama

Okay, fine. I’ll admit that I have a soft spot for Sweet Home Alabama. I think it’s super cute, and I’m not ashamed to say it.
