She is wonderful in "Election", "Walk The Line", "The Man In The Moon", "Legally Blonde" and many other things. However, "Freeway" will always be her best performance in my eyes and it is astounding how few people in the industry ever mention her in this.
shareI agree, but this is the ONLY film I'll watch Reese Witherspoon in as otherwise I find her rather loathesome and annoying.

Sometimes she can be just that. I still enjoy her in this, "Election", "Walk The Line" and "The Man In The Moon" mostly. "Freeway", however, will always be my favorite.

I love her in this. Even though Legally Blonde is my favorite movie of hers, this indeed is her best role.
I have this movie on DVD... Just watched it last night with a friend who never saw it
shareI just got done watching it with a friend who had never seen it too. he was thoroughly impressed. such a great performance from Reese. her performance in this film is eternal and it will always be highly regarded by everyone no matter how much time passes. it's such a shame she's never played a character like this in any other film. but then again that's what makes this performance and this film so special. it's a one of a kind film and a one of a kind performance, and performance from Reese.
shareWell, unless you count Freeway 2...
sharebecause they don't know what great films are. this is her best performance to me. but I just watched it with a friend and he said that her best performance is in Wild. he said there's less room for her to screw up with her performance in it compared to in this film because this film has a comedic tone.
shareSometimes I agree with the OP, sometimes I think Election pushes it into second place. But it's one of her best, certainly.
