There's nothing iconic about Girl, Interrupted or Salt. Most people have never even heard of the former.
Her only iconic role is Lara Croft and that's because the character was iconic before the movie. There's also Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but it's because of obvious reasons, not the actual role.

Then all Jennifer aniston movies are flops except 5-6
Seriously Angelina won, she won the man, she is younger (so achieved more than Aniston in less time), she is the bigger star, and the iconic actress
Friends and Rachel are iconic, Jennifer isn't |
Tomb Raider 2 grossed 150 million on a 100 million budget. Since studios only get about half of a film's gross, they would have lost a lot of money on the film, hence it was a flop. Simple
EDIT: By the way in 2014 Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Aniston, and Gwyneth Paltrow were all higher paid than Angelina!

I think yes.
But due to the nature of this thread, I'll say no. She has no iconic roles.

95M Budget
157M Gross
But then again. stop doing it with Angelina and do it with Jennifer
Except for 4 movies, it will happen the same with all of them
Meanwhile, Maleficient grossed +758M, with a 180M budget, that's 578M benefit (without promotion around 450M) Probably more than Jennifer's career

You can't win, Jennifer Aniston fan |
also she has many iconic roles anyways
Lisa Rowe, Gia, Malificent, Lara Croft, Jane Smith
the only problem is she has so many iconic roles so she isnt known for 1 particular role like the actresses u mentioned in the OP

I have never seen that film  all tho I have seen "Changeling", "Salt", "Wanted", "Gia", "Mr.and Mrs. Smith", "A Mighty Heart" and "Maleficent" and tbh the girls listed in the OP (excluding Julia) can only dream of such movie roles..

That's not how it works sis Studios get about half of a film's gross (the other half is kept by theaters), so Tomb Raider 2 was a flop

None of those are classics though. Although they're like the only successful films Angelina has that aren't Dreamworks/Disney, that doesn't make them classics

Not you wanting to compare a Disney Live Action about a villain to a 100% CGI Animated Film about a Disney Princess and Queen. Your logic It's making you look so pressed and full of bias...

ur opinion is not a fact
especially based off the OP
just cos ur mad that brad left aniston for the beautiful legendary Queen Angelina who actually has a successful career outside of a sitcom (that was actually so legendary cos of 5 other people & not just the 1 u mentioned btw) doesnt mean u can pretend angie isnt an iconic actress known for many roles
but keep this embarrassing thread going if u so desire

All the films and TV shows listed in the OP are generally regarded as classics. Angelina doesn't have a film that's regarded as a classic, it seems (naming every successful film she's done doesn't really count). Why are the Jolie stans getting so mad and taking it out on Queen Jennifer?

Exactly!
Imagine if both Angelina and Jennifer were out walking in public and they were cross the street from each other, who do you think the Paparazzi and the GP will go into a "frenzy" over... Jennifer because she played Rachel?

I know exactly how it works, theaters don't get the half, that half that you are talkng about includes also promotion
But what im saying is that the majority of the jennifer's movie are commercial underperformances
