10 best films with Lindsay Lohan

With more than 30 films in her repertoire, Lindsay Lohan has won over viewers every time she appeared on screen. Therefore, here we list the 10 best films of the actress’s career, take a look:

10. Machete (2010)

Machete stars Danny Trejo as a former federal agent seeking revenge against a powerful drug lord.

1. Bad Girls (2004)

Mean Girls (2004) via MG Films/Play

Mean Girls can only be described as a cultural phenomenon, one that perfectly captures the devastating feeling that high school can feel for most people.

Mean Girls had a profound impact on both Lohan’s film career and pop culture in general.
