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?

Kelli Maroney in NIGHT OF THE COMET. How can one miss when the best line in the movie is ...”Daddy would have gotten us Uzis!”

One I really liked tho I don’t get to see it very often is “Nancy Drew” series, the old one with Mickey Rooney.

Helen Parr aka Elastigirl

Speaking of the Parrs...have you ever seen Jack Jack Attack? I suspect that it was originally meant to be included but wound up on the cutting room floor.Funny as hell!
