Every Sigourney Weaver Movie Ranked Worst To Best

Ellen Ripley, Dana Barrett, Warden Louise Walker — at least three generations recognize these names even if they don't quite know who Sigourney Weaver is. There isn't a film or genre Weaver is afraid to tackle, so long as she likes the pitch. In those three character names alone you'll get a horror-sci-fi icon, a paranormal comedy, and a children's neo-Western movie.

Tall, funny, beautiful, talented — some would say she has the whole package. However, Weaver's full skillset wasn't always recognized. Before her breakthrough with "Alien," she attended Yale's drama MFA program, where her professors told her "you can only do comedy — don't ever try to do any drama" (via The New York Times).

By the '80s, however, Weaver was consistently landing gigs, two of them spawning iconic franchises. But make no mistake: in her prolific filmography — spanning over 60 films — Weaver had some real bombs as well.

Don't expect every one of those 60-plus films here either. Weaver was in "Annie Hall" for all of one scene with no dialogue; there's no need to touch on that in more than a sentence. Every other flick is a certified Weaver feature, organized by IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes rankings. So strap in, because as we count down the Sigourney Weaver list, nobody can hear you scream (with joy).
