Former teen star, Lindsay Lohan is back at the helm of romantic comedies and audiences couldn’t be happier. It’s worlds away from when Lohan famously began her career as a child star in the soap opera, Another World, at just ten-years-old. Keep reading to discover the best Lindsay Lohan movies and where to stream them.

The young actress went onto land her breakout role in Disney’s beloved classic, The Parent Trap. Starring as both twins in Nancy Meyers’s directorial debut, Lohan was outstanding as (both twins) Annie and Halle Parker alongside Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson. The romantic comedy went on to garner very positive reviews from critics, especially for Lohan’s performance, and grossed $92 million on a $15 million budget.

After this early success, Lohan continued to front Disney features for both TV and the big-screen taking on titular roles in Freaky Friday. Another firm favourite for young audiences, this Disney film went on to soar at the box office taking $160 million worldwide on a $26 million budget.

Lohan was widely regarded as a teen idol, a status that was firmly consolidated when she landed the lead role in Tina Fey’s teen comedy, Mean Girls: The Musical.

Her early success became the groundwork for the actress to become a lead in several family-friendly comedies such as Sick Note.

More recently, Lohan signed a multiple picture deal with Netflix, much to the delight for childhood fans who avidly watched the actress's films. Back in 2022, she starred in the festive romcom, Falling for Christmas, which received very positive reviews and was named one of the best Christmas films of all time and boasted the accolade of being one of the best opening weekends for an original film on Netflix.

Before she blessed viewers with the perfect romcom to be released around St. Patrick’s Day, Irish Wish. Though it received mixed reviews, Lohan’s effortless performance and her chemistry with the lead was widely praised.
