3) Freaky Friday (2003)
Five years after landing her breakout role as the dual leads of The Parent Trap, Lindsay Lohan steps in for Jodie Foster (who starred in the 1976 original film) as the younger half of a mother/daughter duo who swap bodies under mysterious circumstances.
This is one of those Disney stories that hinges on a parent and child who develop a better understanding of each other’s perspectives thanks to supernatural intervention, but where Freaky Friday improves on that premise is in the committed performances of Lohan and co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, the latter of whom even scored a Golden Globe nomination for her role. Director Mark Waters would make an even bigger pop cultural splash when he re-teamed with Lohan for Mean Girls the following year, but as for her work with Disney, Freaky Friday is about as good as it gets.
