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

All are talented and very impressive but Kate broke down a lot of doors and did it her way no matter what.

Hepburn is my choice: strong and independent, yet extremely sensitive.

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.

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.

For her performance in the Aliens, it would have to be Sigourney.

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.
