Lindsay Lohan's new movie The Canyons opens in limited theatrical release today. Much ink has been spilled over the the production of this Kickstarter-funded movie, directed by Paul Schrader with a script by novelist Bret Easton Ellis. The New York Times wrote a long piece about it. It's telling, how they titled the story: "Here Is What Happens When You Cast Lindsay Lohan in Your Movie." 

At this point, when you cast Lindsay Lohan in a movie, it becomes all about her. That's what the culture fixates on. She's a force, a once beloved star who got caught up in tough situation after tough situation, from tax problems to DUIs. Hardly anyone talks about her skills as an actress these days.

Fortunately, her performance in The Canyons is one of her best. Let's see how it compares to the rest as we rank every Lindsay Lohan performance in movies and TV.
