Fact: Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is our favorite space hero and Aliens is one of the best sequels ever made. The film picks up after Ripley returns home after 57 years, the lone survivor of her crew who won the fight with the deadly Alien. Traumatized, she’s lost her flight license and no one truly believes her tale until she’s sent back to the alien planet after the inhabitants of a newly terra-formed community have gone missing. Suffice to say, she’s proven right and a war begins. Ripley becomes the ultimate sexy badass woman in film history once again.
