      Even more known from the TV-Series (but there were the two movies), I would have added "Dana Scully" in this list.

      Clementime is way too high on the list & where is Mrs. Carmody from The Mist? One of the best female villains ever.

      Princess Mononoke, Marla Singer and Marietta Fortune should all definitely be there.

      I would replaced a few with Ree Dolly (Winters Bone), Wednesday Addams, Connie Corleone and Aughra (The Dark Crystal) and Anna (Predator).

      WAR RIPLEY, WAR!!!!!!!!! Great list. I got more excited as it went on. Yeah, there are some I would delete and some I would add. But the only true mistep is Hitgirl. I mean really? Have a child utter the c-word and create a cult icon? Hardly. In 10 years time people will see Moretz differently. What comes off as an actress with wisdom beyond her age will eventually be revealed to the most affect young actress Hollywood has ever produced. She doesn't come off as being wise beyonf her age, for that see Portman in Leon or Beautiful Girls. She comes off as acting like she thinks a super smart teen would. Her first minutes in (500) Days renders the whole film completely unwatchable.

      Definitely agree with Ellen Ripley being no.1. Even though a good character, I don't think Hermione Granger deserved such a high placement on the list, especially when you look at the rest of the top 10. I would have also liked to see Nina Sayers ranked slightly higher as well. Nice to see Clementine make the top 10. Overall, a really good list though.

      Whoa, wait!! Knock down Hermione, Eli, Nina and Summer down a LOT and raise Lisbeth. Why is Hermione higher than The Bride?! Otherwise, yes for Ripley. Definitely. But "Eternal Sunshine..." wasn't as great as everyone's saying...so why's Clementine so high?

      LeeLoo Dallas gets a multi pass! Eh, TF, TF... Also, I would've added them all, but thats not good, so if I had to choose between River, Zoe and Kaylee I would go with Zoe.

      Seriously? Seriously!?! '100 best female characters', are we gonna have a '100 best male characters' list??? Don't think so! What an incredibly narrow minded, boring, predictably clueless article. Ever thought maybe it should just be '100 best characters' ARGH

      You misspelled Ridley Scott. His character was Ripley. His name is Ridley. How dare you.

      Scarlett O'Hara should be no. 2 efter Ripley, at the very least, if not no. 1. And ahem, where the f... is Mallory Knox!?! And I also miss Aeon Flux, Holly McClane (definitely more badass and cool than many on this list), Gareth Pierce from In The Name Of The Father and Beckinsale's Selene on here. Weird list.

      And by the way, WHAT is that stupid, pitiful, awful bratty b***h Briony doing on this list? I know there are a few villains along the way, so I can understand you see greatness in the evils also, and okay, but come on - she's just a lying brat, who doesn't have a clue. There is nothing great about her whatsoever. Yuck.

      As a popular, family-friendly list, this works decently. The problem is, when you make mention of Catherine Deneuve for her work in Belle De Jour (very low on the list, too low), then there is an expectation of some more prestigious films and roles coming at the top. Ditch the cartoon characters and put in some actually great female performances. Otherwise this list is only superficial with a couple of dips in the deep end.
