    Via themovies.co.za

    Reason to like her in this: Because this movie was awesome, and you might not even realize she is in it. She plays a young Wendy Darling in the flashback scenes.

    Reason you might hate her in this: The movie was directed by her godfather, Steven Spielberg, so it is very unlikely she had to audition for this role.

    OK, let's be honest: She didn't audition.

    2. "Emma" (1996)

    Reason to like her in this: She was really endearing in the role of Emma Woodhouse. Plus, the film has a great cast, including Alan Cumming, Jeremy Northam, Toni Collette, and Ewan McGregor.

    Reason you might hate her in this: The purist in you might have preferred an Englishwoman in the role of Emma — or you hate Jane Austen and/or period pieces.

    3. "Hush" (1998)

    Reason to like her in this: This movie is so awful, it's almost good. Also, let’s face it, if you’re watching this, it's to see Jessica Lange play crazy; Gwyneth is just supporting.

    4. "Sliding Doors" (1998)
