I watched this one again tonight for the 5th or 6th time. I never get tired of this one! Great movie involving superb comedy as well as FBI drama. Sandra Bullock nails her performance in this one, both as a very tough FBI agent as well as a stunning beauty pageant contestant, which I think very few if any other actresses could pull off! I highly recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

it's a classic for sure but i gotta say i'm more into movies with a bit more suspense or mystery maybe like a solid thriller or something with a twist keeps me on the edge of my seat

Other actresses who have pulled it off: 

Anne Hathaway, twice (Princess Diaries, Devil Wears Prada) 

Emma Stone, at least three times off the top of my head (Cruella, Easy A, House Bunny) 

Katherine McPhee, House Bunny

Rumer Willis

Mandy Moore, a Walk to Remember

Lindsay Lohan, Mean Girls 

Amy Schumer, I feel pretty 

Demi Lovato, Camp Rock (also did it backward irl) 

Amanda Bynes, She’s the Man, Sidney White Lucy Liu, Chicago 

Kristen Stewart, Charlie’s Angels  Hailee Steinfeld

The Murder Mavens in the Chicago film….

Oh and Melissa McCarthy pulls off the biggest transformation ever in Spy. 

Anyway I could go on but…it just seemed like you needed another similar movie to watch and there are a surprising amount of them.
