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) |

Lot of nice actresses I don't know. Sigourney, just because I do. That panties scene in Alien was very nice.

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

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 ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |

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. |

Agreed, I absolutley love "Aliens" but the suspense just isn't there like it was in "Alien" -------------

You haven't seen many movies then my friend...
  I would like to add, as a personal favorite as an actress, Meryl Streep, for me the greatest living actress... of this generation.... -------------

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. ------------- Follow me on twitter @memowakeman |

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. ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

| Voted Katherine Hepburn, followed by Sigourney Weaver (Alien) |
Posted By: BaldJean
Date Posted: March 15 2008 at 04:17
ah, we definitely have different tastes then. Fahrenheit 451 is not lame at all in my opinion. and Zardoz is perhaps the craziest SF movie of all times, starring Sean Connery and Charlotte Rampling. "Gorillas in the Mist" is one of the best movies with Weaver of all times; only beaten by her role in "Death and the Maiden". I like those "lame" movies where on the surface not much seems to happen ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |

Regarding Farenheit 451, the book is everything the movie is not. Zardoz... though I can see some appeal in the oddity, it certainly won't go into my "memorable" list. Edit: I don't mean any offense by this, but that list sounds more like a vintage bondage fetish party poster selection. ¿Where's Holly Hunter, for example? ¿Or Judy Davis?. ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |
Posted By: BaldJean
Date Posted: March 15 2008 at 13:32
haven't seen enough movies with them, so they did not appear on my list. but feel free to add whomever you like. I could have added lots more though; as I said, I definitely missed Isabelle Adjani, for example. as to "Zardoz": that movie is a hate-or-love movie; for me it is love. and I am a great Truffaut fan and like his adaptation of "Fahrenheit 451" ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

Most things are. Zardoz was a good laugh for me, and a bit of stomach sickness after seeing too much naked areas of Sean Connery. Judy Davis was spectacular in Barton Fink and in Naked Lunch. Holly Hunter... I'm not sure if it is her, or the way the Coen Brothers use her as art material, but her perfomance on Raising Arizona should've been rewarded. Alien is a movie I just don't like because it is too straight as narration, but I can see the work behind, and the fact that it features a woman as the heroe makes it valuable somehow. And let's not forget those talented actresses I plan to include in my meteor menacing planet earth movie  ...At leats your list reminded me of that "Whatever happened to baby Jane" movie. And "The day of the locust", though I'm not quite sure why. Death and the maiden is an adaptation from a book of Chilean writter, wich is weird given that 95% of chilean population can barely writte or talk. Uhm.. I do suspect I'll check some intriguing titles of your reply. Also, I'll call sean Connery to yell at him for making a movie psychedelic in underwear... ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

It seems we're both fans of Sigourney, but I cannot believe you haven't mentioned her role in 'The Ice Storm':  In my opinion her finest 'proper' acting role (yes, even including "Gorillas in the Mist").

I think the first four on that lists are the betteractresses, but certainly not my faves
Victoria April, Zabou Breitman, Elsa Zylberstein, Agnes Jaoui, Emmanuelle Beart are in my top 5 ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I like only sulfurous actresses from 60's / 70's B-grade underground cinema
From this list I will vote for Geraldine Chaplin despite that my preference goes for Josephine (Chaplin). -------------

Abril, yes of course
 The other three are typical French actresses also doing movies of their own.
Jaoui usually teamsup with her husband JP Bacri
BTW: Deneuve I never thought of as an excellent actress, she's iconic and has had many roles written for her. Huppert is a much stronger actress, but she's always reaching for extremes in her roles
Adjani I used to love during the 80's, but she started losing the plot in the Claudel film, than the other film with The St Bartholomy Massacres. I think she's only two two movies since the millenium. She's a complete capricious diva that nobody wants to deal with anymore.

Deneuve was ideal for movies like "Repulsion" or "Belle de Jour", two of my favorite movies; I couldn't imagine any other actress in these movies ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |

I agree! Stunning and deeply moving. A must see. I love Don't Look Now so much vote for Julie Christie here. Jeanne Moreau and Mia Farrow are probably my own favorites. Don't Look Now, Repulsion, Belle de Jour, Alien (and both the Fassfinder movies)... not impressive, and Doctor Zhivago & Farenheit 451 incredibly lame?? Sure its not its not just tastes in films that are lame, Cuncuna? I do hate the stupid follow up(s) to Alien, though. ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

"Don't Look Now" is one of my all time favorites; the end still freaks me out, although I know it is coming; when I first saw the movie I was totally shocked. my all time favorite movie, however, is "Rashomon" by Akira Kurosawa ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

I see the topic, And bam ! Charlotte Rampling comes to mind. So I'm thinking I'm going in to see Natalie Kidman/Portman, Amy Adams, Renee Zellwiggout et al. Surprise surprise, actual actresses.
