Steve’s Sigourney Weaver You Tube Video
Steve’s Sigourney Video is now part of the page. My thoughts on that video.
“Epic video…lots of movies. I have seen 34 of your 40…and 41 total Sigourney movies. Favorites include #11 Snow Cake…might be her best performance. #2 Aliens….one of the best action movies ever. #3 Ghostbusters….one of the greatest comedies ever. I like #1 Alien but I like Aliens more. #27 Vantage Point is a fun movie…that begs for repeat viewings. I liked #4 Avatar….but it seems to be losing some steam in my mind. Two of favorite actors bringing up the rear….as Willis’ Cold Light of Day and Caine’s Half Moon Street deserve their low rankings. Good video. Voted up and shared.”
Thanks for the comment, vote and share Bruce, much appreciated.
34 out of 40 is very good, I managed 21 and Flora 2.
The Alien films are big favorites of mine, I’ve seen the first two many times. Good to see them doing well on the UMR charts.
Siggy was the voice of the ships computer in WALL-E, a nice touch, since there was a female computer voice in Alien. But I decided to leave that Pixar movie out and squeeze more live action in.
