THE RANKING
Sigourney Weaver movies
Chris: Let’s talk about beginnings. When did we first become aware of Sigourney Weaver?
Helen: For me it was Ghostbusters . That was the first thing I saw her in that she was awesome in. But not the last.
Chris: Thank God, or your top ten would be just one film.
Helen: She’s fantastic in that film. Initially, Dana is the love interest/damsel in distress, but she’s so cool and self-possessed.
Chris: Well…
Helen: Not forever.
Chris: She tolerates the utter sleaziness of Peter Venkman with wonderful equanimity.
It was Weaver’s idea for Dana to become possessed and start barking like a dog. It was that had put her on Ivan Reitman’s radar.
