Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, 'Whip It,' opens this weekend, so why not take a look back at her career? Drew has grown up in front of the camera, from her breakout role in 'E.T.' to her troubled, relatively unproductive adolescence to her recent string of middling romantic comedies. Some of her roles have been better than others. Which would you watch?

I know it wasn't a great movie but I liked Poison Ivy and I thought the contrast between her as the bad girl and Sara Gilbert (the nerdy daughter on Roseanne) was fantastic. I also thought she was great in a very under rated weird independent film called Motorama. She had a small role as the fantasy of the young boy making his way through hell on the road but she really made the movie.

Haven't liked her in anything since ET. I guess it is just a matter of taste.

Drew is a fine actress who has played a number of excellent roles. I just saw Bad Girls, a far fetched Western. Not a very good movie, but falls in the classification of a great bad movie. Fun to watch.
She also has wonderful hooters.

Good for Drew! She has broken the cycle of self destructive behavior her family is known for. I love her! She is always so positive and happy when you see her do interviews!

She really does great in mildly sinister roles: Altered States (her debut), Firestarter, Scream, Donnie Darko

Never Been Kissed is a pretty great movie if you watch it. The plot line is good, they actually made a statement in a fun way.

Drew is a survivor and one who more often than not does so with class. She's going to be around for a long time to come...

I have always love Drew Barrymore.­..some of her movies, however, not so much.

Until I saw the list, I didn't realize how bad her "body of work" truly was.
