Going back to the 80s, the film that wraps our little list up is Mike Nichols' 1988 workplace romantic comedy Working Girl, one of the most celebrated of its ilk and era. Starring Weaver (obviously), Harrison Ford, and Melanie Griffith, Working Girlfollows the begrudged secretary Tess McGill (Griffith), whose boss (Weaver as the domineering Kathari...
One of the highest-grossing films of all time doesn't necessarily need a shout-out here, but certainly deserves one for what it allows Weaver to do on screen. Avatar: The Way of Water doesn't really need much of an introduction, outside the obvious table setting. The film marks the third collaboration between Ms. Weaver and director James Cameron: ...
A totemic work of adaptation for any person born in the 90s, 2003's Holes is one of those childhood films you never quite grow out of. Adapted from the Louis Sachar book of the same name, Holesfollows Stanley Yelnats (Shia LaBeouf), a young boy who is wrongfully convicted of theft and sentenced to serve time at a camp for troubled youth. Upon arriv...
While we're on the subject of biting satire and spoofs, 1999's Galaxy Quest will go down as one of the most hilarious spoofs of anything ever. Underappreciated in its time but well-regarded in hindsight, this rollicking goof-fest lampoons and reflects upon the cultural influence of Star Trekby using its archetypes and tabloid stories to mine for co...
Once again working with Ivan Reitman, Weaver starred alongside Kevin Kline in the 1993 political comedy Dave in which she plays the First Lady against Kline's President of the United States. Daveis the sort of the movie that could have only been made in the 90s — which is to say that it's politics and commentary are very much of their time, though ...
Yet another iconic 80s performance by Weaver appears in the totemic Ivan Reitman-directed comedy, Ghostbusters. Alongside comedy legends like Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis, Weaver helps to make a generally stupid sounding premise deliver non-stop laughs and gags. Explaining the premise of Ghostbustersfeels like a fool's errand since th...
If there is any direct competition that would potentially usurp Alien, it would probably be the direct sequel to that film: James Cameron's Aliens. If Alien is about as perfect as any singular film can get, then Aliens is about as perfect as any sequel could ever get. Not only are the stakes amped up to the max, but Cameron's inherent perfectionism...
It's hard to write a list like this and not put Alien at the very tippy top. Ridley Scott's Alienis a monumental film for a whole host of reasons, of which includes the casting and star-making of one Sigourney Weaver. Without her in the lead role as Ellen Ripley, it's safe to say that the film doesn't work as well (and we, as a society, are deprive...
