any good old Winona Ryder movies besides Beetlejuice and Heathers?


Heathers I think is overrated for a dark comedy starring Winona Ryder.

Are there any other decenty movies to watch starring Winona Ryder?

reply

Those two are probably her best films from her early period of her career, probably of her whole career to be fair. I think Heathers is great film, a big influence on other darker Teen high school comedies that came after.

I love Lucas, her debut performance. She's so likeable in that.

I don't think the film is that great but 1990's Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael is worth it just for her performance.

Edward Scissorhands is a must. She plays agaisnt type too.

Night on Earth is a great one, she's only in the first story but her and Gena Rowlands have great chemistry.

Dracula is a great film. But some think she's a weak spot in it.

Age of Innocence is probably her best performance imo.

Reality Bites is great. And you can tell it was a project she really believed in.

I love her version of Little Women, it's not as great as Greta Gerwig/Saoirse Ronan version but Ryder is pretty great in it.

The Crucible, she holds her own with Day Lewis.

For me late 80's to late 90's Ryder is her at her peak. After that you find a gem here and there but the 90's is where she was at her very best.

How to Make an American Quilt (1995)
Mermaids (1990)

I'd probably go with Girl Interrupted. It wasn't a starring vehicle for her, but she did a decent job in Dracula as well.

I can't say enough good things about The Crucible and her role is so well done. Probably my favorite Winona Ryder role.

Lucas is great too. She doesn't have a role with a lot of dynamics but for what she's supposed to be she does it well.

I thought she had a decent role in Alien Resurrection and did a great job with it.
