Although Jennifer Aniston is best known as Rachel Green from "Friends," I’ve always preferred seeing her in movies. She brings a genuine, grounded presence to the big screen, whether she’s portraying a woman grappling with past and present pain in "Cake," a cynical kung fu-loving waitress in "Office Space" or an aggressive dentist in "Horrible Bosses."
With "The Morning Show" season 4 premiering soon, it’s a good reminder of Aniston’s enduring versatility, but sometimes her most memorable performances come in smaller, understated films. One such gem is "Friends With Money," a 2006 film by writer-director Nicole Holofcener. It tells the story of a not-so-wealthy woman in her mid-30s who maintains long-standing friendships with several more affluent women. "Friends With Money" quietly captures the humor, awkwardness and poignancy of everyday life.
