She was great in DRUNKS. That was my favorite early work.

One movie I would avoid with Parker in it is "Anniversary Party." She plays a real dumb character, not her forte, and the movie was terrible.

I pretty much agree with the rest of the other ones mentioned. She carried "Clockwatchers." I also loved "Kicking and Screaming" though she wasn't the lead, Olivia d'Abo was. And, of course, her performance in "The House of Yes" is beyond good.

However, I must say that "The Anniversary Party" is a great film. Yeah, Parker isn't in it that much but the entire cast is great and anything with Parker and Jennifer Jason Leigh in it is good in my books.

Well, sorry to voice my opinion so strongly, but I didn't enjoy that film at all.
