As my "Favourite Female Video Game Character?" thread...
http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt241424.html

... managed to generate quite a few responses, I figured I might try the same with movies. Note that I am listing the *character*, not the actor.

No ranking intended. They are in alphabetical order.

... and obviously (even more so than with my video game poll) the list is *not* conclusive. If you disagree with my fine selection, please provide your own...

I had to go with Catherine Tramell *drool drool drool*

One of the cinematic highlights of all time when she takes all of her clothes off near the end of the second Basic Instinct movie.

Ripley, close tie with River Tam -Serenity/Firefly.

Lana (Rebecca DeMornay) in Risky Business

Sylvia Pickel (Cyndi Lauper) in Vibes

Marian Paroo (Shirley Jones) in The Music Man

Elise McKenna (Jane Seymour) in Somewhere in Time

and Michelle Rodriguez in anything she's ever been in - SHA-WiIiiiNnNnNnGg!! !

tank girl

also liked wonderwoman.

Ripley by a country mile. This is a woman that went nose to snout with a deadly alien species and wiped them out. How she can be joint second and the sweary Hit Girl can have more votes is crazy.

I went with "other."
And that would be Tina Belcher from Bob's Burgers, because she kinda reminds me of me when I was even more than usually awkward at that awkward age.

Mia Wallace

I even have a framed poster of her on my wall, hanging over the very computer monitor that I am typing this on.

River Tam, Inara Serra and Kaylee from Serenity
Kimberly Hart, Katherine "Kat" Hillard and Tanya Sloan from Power Rangers
Ramona Flowers and Knives Chau from Scott Pilgrim
WildStyle from The LEGO Movie
Vanellope from Wreck-It Ralph
Grace Hart from Miss Congeniality
Tifa Lockheart from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Black Widow, Sif, Pepper Potts and Maria Hill from the Marvel Cinematic Universe films
Violet aka Jersey from Coyote Ugly
Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Padme Amidala from Star Wars
Fat Amy from Pitch Perfect
Veronica Mars ( hey there is a movie coming out.... )
Tina & Christie from DOA: Dead Or Alive ( yes, I like that movie...and I wish it had Hitomi )

Can't say I have a favourite, but I like the ones that aren't:
- Two dimensional
- Whiney
- Helpless
- Oversexualised
- Prissy
- Selfish
- Morons
- or any combination of the above

the character Rosalind cash played in "omega man."

Erin Brockovich - I could watch her time and time again. And it is a true story so there is a real woman out there who did all those amazing things for those people who were being poisoned by an evil energy company.

I picked from the list because I was too lazy to try and think of one myself. However there were some good choices on the list. It was a close race for me between Princess Leia, Sarah Conner and Ripley. I went with Ripley because she's the most kickbutt of the 3. Although Princess Leia is probably my first movie crush. I was 4 when I saw Star Wars for the first time.
