She later became a rom-com queen with movies that still make me smile. I was devastated to hear how Hollywood took its toll on her, and despite the glam of the spotlight, she is an example of the pressure it has on people -- but also of the ability to find their way back.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> &nbsp; <p> <a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/smart-brilliant-amanda-bynes-O54ccAi0NWcW4">via GIPHY</a></p> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I miss her movies a lot, so I want to pay tribute to a starlet I know a lot of us can&rsquo;t wait to see shine on the silver screen again if she so chooses. Here is a list of my favorite Amanda Bynes movies!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <hr class="system-pagebreak" /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:26px;"><strong>1. <em>She&rsquo;s The Man</em></strong></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> When I was in high school, I got a haircut that accented my chubby face and made me look just like Amanda Bynes as her iconic role of Viola-as-Sebastian in this classic film. This story is a take on <strong>Shakespeare</strong>&rsquo;s&nbsp;<em>Twelfth Night</em>&nbsp;and centers on Viola, who takes her brother&#39;s place at school in order to play soccer. She then falls in love with her roommate, played by the sexy <strong>Channing Tatum</strong>, but can&rsquo;t do anything about it because she&rsquo;s supposed to be a guy. It is Bynes at her finest with humorous miscommunications, drag, and tampons up the nose.&nbsp;</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> &nbsp; <p> <a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/best-friends-bff-teen-vogue-vwUBruegQZRyo">via GIPHY</a></p> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <hr class="system-pagebreak" /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:26px;"><strong>2. <em>Big Fat Liar</em></strong></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> This was Bynes&rsquo;s first major film role, and it had her starring opposite <strong>Frankie Muniz</strong> and <strong>Paul Giamatti</strong>. The movie is about a boy (Muniz) whose essay gets stolen, turned into a famous movie script, and the shenanigans he and Bynes get into to get justice. One of the most iconic moments is the flash flood on the Universal Studios lot and Bynes pretending to be a receptionist. It showed how adorable Bynes is to watch on screen and just how funny she can be.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> &nbsp; <p> <a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/amanda-bynes-gif-qGOdp9zv65BEA">via GIPHY</a></p> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <hr class="system-pagebreak" /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:26px;"><strong>3. <em>What A Girl Wants </em></strong></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Amanda Bynes, <strong>Colin Firth</strong>, and the Queen of England. This film has everything! The plot revolves around a girl named Daphne who goes in search of her father and her roots in order to learn where she came from. Bynes goes from normal to formal in this coming-of-age flick, proving to the world that she has what it takes to be a leading lady. Who can forget her iconic runway walk in a white spaghetti strap and the class \putting her evil step-sister in place?!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <hr class="system-pagebreak" /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:26px;"><strong>4. <em>Easy A</em></strong></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Bynes broke the mold of her usual character type in this film by playing Marianne, a snobby Christian girl. Although she isn&rsquo;t the star of this film, she does give it an extra flair and plays a crucial part in all the drama. Bynes was hilarious in this role, something she does have in common with her other characters, but it was nice to watch her stretch herself as a performer. Unfortunately, this has been her last film credit to date. If she doesn&rsquo;t make another, at least her last one was a hit!&nbsp;</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> &nbsp; <p> <a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/emma-stone-easy-a-R1GrmLU4j7yTK">via GIPHY</a></p> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <hr class="system-pagebreak" /> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size:26px;"><strong>5. <em>Hairspray</em></strong></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I love this movie, and the cast of this film was phenomenal. Bynes plays the goofy Penny, who breaks barriers by defying her dictator mother and dating a man of color. This film proved just how talented Bynes is, because not only did she have to act, she also had to sing and dance. She is a triple-threat none of us knew about, and after this, all we could do was sing her name with praises.&nbsp;</div> <div style="text-align: center;"> &nbsp; <p> <a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/zac-efron-hairspray-nikki-blonsky-nn8DQp8DG0QVy">via GIPHY</a></p> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> We miss you, Amanda!!!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> What is YOUR favorite Amanda Bynes film?</div> </div> </div>" } ]]></script> <a href="https://younghollywood.com/scene/our-5-favorite-amanda-bynes-films.html?limitstart=2&ajax=1&ajax=1" class="ai-next">Next</a>
