According to wikipedia, her breakout role was in ET which is the first time I remember hearing about her.

However, until she took control of her own career and started producing her own movies, I don’t think that she was taken seriously. This is just my personal opinion. Nonetheless, Never Been Kissed was a surprisingly well received movie that made her an asset to the Hollywood industry through her production company Flower Films. (This is the same production company which made Charlie’s Angels and 50 First Dates along with other movies.)

It depends on how you define breakout. If you mean, which movie made her “a household name” then it would have to be ET. Otherwise, I would suggest looking to the movies she maintained the most control over and which she created to further her own career.
