Reese Witherspoon Movies: Honorable Mention
Pleasantville (New Line Platinum Series)
Pleasantville, a Leave It to Beaver-style sitcom complete with picket fences, corner malt shop, and warm chocolate chip cookies. When a somewhat unusual remote control (provided by repairman Don Knotts) transports them from the jaded real world to G-rated TV land, Maguire and Witherspoon are forced to play along as Bud and Mary Sue, the obedient children of George and Betty Parker (William H. Macy and Joan Allen). Maguire, an obsessive Pleasantville devotee, understands the need for not toppling the natural balance of things; Witherspoon, on the other hand, starts shaking the town up, most notably when she takes basketball stud Skip (Paul Walker) up to Lover's Lane for some modern-day fun and games. Soon enough, Pleasantville's teens are discovering sex along with--gasp!--rock & roll, free thinking, and soul-changing Technicolor.

Although Sweet Home Alabama is the only one of these movies I've seen I have to admit that I can see why every one loves Reese Witherspoon. I know she's from the south. I recall hearing her say that southern women could never be prostitutes... there would be too many thank you notes to write!!! She's got a great sense of humor.
