Jennifer Aniston: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked

4. Dr. Julia Harris - Horrible Bosses

Horrible Bosses reminded us how fun Jennifer Aniston can be as a big-screen actress.

Here she plays Dr. Julia Harris, a sex-crazed dentist who is harassing her assistant, Dale (Charlie Day), and eventually tries to blackmail him into having sex with her by drugging him and posing the pair of them naked, threatening to tell his fiancee. This is Aniston in a rare villain role, brilliantly psychotic, and more to the point, extremely funny.

The most memorable scene occurs when Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) is tasked with watching Julia at her home, but realising that he's watching, she seduces him by prancing around in her underwear, eating phallic foods and basically being an irresistible sexpot.

Aniston has never looked better, and crazy though her character is, it's doubtful that few men would have been able to resist her advances.

Aniston hadn't looked this relaxed in a movie for years and it's no surprise Julia will go down as one of her most memorable characters.
