Best movie heroine ever?

Posted on 01/06/2018 4:36:09 PM PST by MNDude

it seems that Hollywood is pushing female's to play the heroic scenes more and more--all the new Star Wars movies, Ghostbusters remake come to mind.

But movie heroines go back to 1930's Dorothy from Wizard of Oz. Who is your favorite female movie hero of all time?

Vesper Lynd. Hands Down

Lynd "How was your lamb?"

Bond "Skewered... One sympathizes."

Indeed the only woman to skewer Bond. An accountant with imagination.

Jackie Brown is one of my favorite Tarantino movies. It has a pacing where the action and payoff slowly rise. Sort of a slow burning fuse.

Interesting point of trivia is that Michael Keaton plays Ray Nicolette. He reprises that role (uncredited) in the 1998 movie Out of Sight, another great movie.

Incidently, Elmore Leonard was a writer on both movies and also wrote “Get Shorty”.
