Whenever the topic of strong, female leads comes up, the number one go-to is Ellen Ripley from the Alien movies. She is always held up as an example of why modern female leads suck and why older movies are better because they didn't shove the feminism in the audience's face. Personally I disagree with the idea that all modern female leads suck (some do) but that's just my opinion.

The problem I have is that surely there are plenty of other great examples out there besides Ripley. Sarah Conner in T2 is sometimes brought up as a strong female character, but she wasn't the lead.

One of the best examples I can think of is Samantha Caine in The Long Kiss Goodnight, played by Geena Davis. Whereas Ripley was originally written as a male character, Samantha's gender is an important part of her character. She embodies two different sides of being a woman and reconciles them in the end. Her being a mother is crucial to her character development. She owns her sexuality in a way that isn't for the male gaze. Plus she's the first woman to say "Suck my dick" in a movie.

What are some other great examples of a strong female lead done well?
