the first "Alien" movie is good, the others only so-so, the last one being the best of the rest.  however, movies like "Repulsion", "Die Ehe der Maria Braun", "Raise Ravens", "De vierde Man" or "Don't Look Now!" beat "Alien" by a mile, in my opinion

Katherine Hepburn is a favorite actress of mine.  Love the movies you mentioned, also wanted to add "The Philadelphia Story" and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" (w/ Sidney Poitier)

All are talented and very impressive but Kate broke down a lot of doors and did it her way no matter what.

Lot of nice actresses I don't know.  Sigourney, just because I do.  That panties scene in Alien was very nice.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Hepburn is my choice: strong and independent, yet extremely sensitive.

Most of them are unknown to me, but Catherine Deneuve was great in Repulsion (and also in Les Parapluies de Cherbourg. Embarrassed)

To the bolded part: nonsense. Aliens is almost as good, and Sigourney's acting in it is WAY better. In the first she is the cold, rational one, while the second juxtaposes this with her maternal instincts. As for the other movies, I cannot comment upon them nor their comparisons to Alien.

that's a matter of taste. I found the first "Alien" movie to be very atmospheric. the second was "Ripley goes Rambo". some may like that; I don't

Going to give a vote to Huppert. I haven't seen much of the actresses listed, really, but La Pianiste was an absolutely stunning film, if a  bit disturbing.

For her performance in the Aliens, it would have to be Sigourney.

Honestly most of them are unknown for me, i would vote for Catherine Denueve but it would be unfair since i don´t know the work of other ones, another movie which stars her is The Hunger which also stars David Bowie and Susan Sarandon.

Still, nothing impressive (though I can't seriously claim I've seen all those). And... ¡¡¡¿¿¿ZARDOZ - Doctor Zhivago - Farenheit 451 (incredibly lame) - ALIEN - Gorillas in the mist???!!!... no thanks.
