i may not of watched all her movie but i would say scream was my least favorite now screen 2 and 3 was enjoyable do to be corner and ridiculous . all the other of course they were very enjoyable too watched and few of i still found my self watching and says a lot
The first time most moviegoers noticed Drew Barrymore is in ET, the phenomenal movie success of the 80s. Later I found out she played William Hurts daughter in Altered States another favorite of mine. I also liked her as the little girl who starts fires in, forgot the title hang on… oh yes Firestarter.
I’ve seen just 13 of the 40 films listed here, less than I thought. There might be more I can’t remember the titles of all the romcoms I’ve seen her in, did I see Never Been Kissed? Maybe, maybe not, can’t remember.
ET easily tops the UMR chart, the adjusted domestic gross is incredible, $1.2bn, the new Star Wars film hasn’t managed to top it.
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is a film I’ve wanted to see for a while now. Titan AE was a pretty good animated sci-fi adventure, I bought the DVD, where’s the blu-ray?
Hey Steve….she has a good career. 40 movies was more that I thought she had made. So you are at 13….I am at 27. I pretty sure you have issues with top UMR movie…actually ET is easily the top in every single category….that does not happen to often here. ET was huge. ET was huge for over a year…as great as Star Wars 7 has been….it is almost out of gas at the box office after two months…granted it went pretty far on that gas tank. I was not impress with Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. It should have been good…but it was slow paced and pretty strange. I have seen Altered States many times…but not thinking I have every connected the dots that the little girl is Drew….many I will do that next time. As always…thanks for sharing your thoughts on Drew.
I’ve seen a handful of Drew Barrymore’s films only, so there is no point in me taking part in a tally.
I’m a big fan of John and Lionel. Lionel Barrymore is my favourite Barrymore and considering how large his career was, it will be a long time before he gets a page.
Of Drew’s films that I have seen, the one I like the best is Everyone Says I Love You, which I saw because it is a musical -despite Woody Allen. I really don’t like him.
Last year I saw Too Much Too Soon for the first time. It was the bio-pic about Diana Barrymore that starred Errol Flynn as John Barrymore. Raw and powerful.
Glad to see another woman featured from your current artists/non-AFI list.
Hey Flora…thanks for stopping by….I know that you have not seen ET yet….that was easily her best movie. Mmmm. I bet I have 30 or more of Lionel’s movies in the database already….his silent movies will be an issue….it might be earlier than you are thinking…I could do his page like I did Powell….just put out the information I have. Been doing some actresses lately…let’s see…of the last 19 pages….10 have been actresses….3 have been subjects. Closing in on 70 actress pages….that is not too bad. As always thanks for stopping by and sharing your movie thoughts.

Her part in Scream was short but memorable….she turned down the lead role for the smaller role.

The little girl in ET is her 40s? Now that makes me feel old! 40s and 40 movies mind blowing.
Hey Antonella….I feel the same way.
