Sunday Surf - Saturday's Newspaper's Top 25 Heroes list...in the movies that is...

I'm still getting the paper. They've warned me it's going to stop one of these days since I haven't paid or said I want to renew. At this point, I'll see how long it lasts... Anyway, since I still get it, I read it. And on Saturday the Rocky Mountain News had an article in which they listed their top 25 heroes from the movies. Guess what!?! They actually have some women on the list. Of course I bet you can guess who they are. I'll give you a hint: 20% of the list of heroes are women. Not enough of a hint, huh? Okay, one woman is definitely there because the author of the article is a man. You need more? Another woman seems completely unlikely for the list given her role in the movie franchise. You need another hint anyway? Um, well one woman's role doesn't seem like a hero so much as a bad guy...er...gal. That's it for the hints. Tell me who your top five women heroes in the MOVIES are and then go here for part 1 of the list and here for part 2 of the list (for as long as the link is available).

I think that they kinda misrepresented heros in this little article that you found If I could pick a movie hero (female specific) I would have to choose............Iggy Threadgood from Fried Green Tomatos....(always loved that strong willed character...not to mention the sexual tension between her and ruth (mary stewart masterson) ) Elle Woods---because girls in pink and high heals need to be taken seriousy too regardless of their interest in fashion (they have brains too) ok that is all...

Okay...so I was thinking that KICK ASS heroines was more the type we're discussing here. But I'll accept Idgy.
