Mean Girls (2004)
There’s no doubt Lindsay Lohan was booked and busy during the 2000s, and this next film is one that never gets old. Turned into a musical which is now becoming a new movie, and based on the book Queen Bees and Wannabees by Rosalind Wiseman, the film is about a homeschooled girl Cady Heron, played by Lohan, who embarks on a new life as a public high school student. She encounters “The Plastics,” led by Regina George (Rachel McAdams), who is the school’s popular clique. Cady makes the mistake of falling for Regina George’s ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels (Jonathan Bennett), which leads to Cady learning how tough high school can really be.
Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005)
Former racecar driver Ray Peyton Sr. (Michael Keaton) is the father to Maggie Peyton (Lindsay Lohan).

She eventually gets to choose her own car at a junkyard that her father takes her to, and she chooses Herbie, a Volkswagen beetle that changes her life.
