My favorite movie heroine, Lt. Ellen Ripley. For courage under attack, for self sacrifice, for being a woman empowered. Forget the slasher movies, the endless teens against Jason or Freddie, or chain saws. The Alien movies, 1,2,3....gave us our first and so far best female lead, in a franchise that did not just repeat what it previously had made. She kicked ass, and I root for her to this day.
There were four, but Alien Resurrection was a bit bizarre, so I am leaving that out of the count. I've watched it, but the first three are by far better. Ha, I have watched Aliens (2) so much I can repeat the dialogue. Don't ask me why, I cannot give you an absolute reason. She inspires me, makes me believe that women can count, can kick ass, and still be at heart female. I wish they still made movies like this..I am waiting and hoping for another one to come along.
