Page 4 July 31 - August 6, 2023 "Alien" (1979): Director Ridley Scott's deep-space chiller introduced Weaver — who now stars in the Prime Video series "The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart," debuting Friday, Aug. 4 — to audiences as she played one of several astronauts aboard a vessel that unwittingly picked up an unwelcome, and quite lethal, guest during a rescue mission on a remote planet. "The Year of Living Dangerously" (1982): Weav- er and Mel Gibson are extremely sexy together in a tale of romance amid political unrest. Co-star Linda earned an Oscar in a gender-crossing supporting role. "Ghostbusters" (1984): Who ya gonna call? In the case of Weaver (as a literally haunted woman), Bill Murray and company, of course, but demonic possession lets her camp and vamp it up for a while. "Aliens" (1986): The original "Alien" is iconic in its own way, but the first sequel gave Weaver even more to do as astro- naut Ellen Ripley fought a queen alien to ensure a child's safety. "Gorillas in the Mist" (1988): Weaver proves an ideal choice to embody famed scientist Dian Fossey, who paid great- ly for her dedication. "Working Girl" (1988): A droll Weaver is perfect in this comedy, directed by Mile Nichols, as a sneaky boss who wants to take credit for an employee's (Melanie Griffith) business idea while trying to keep her claim on the acquisitions veteran (Harrison Ford) they both love. "Copycat" (1995): Weaver does a superb job of conveying agoraphobia as a psychiatrist reluctantly helping a policewom- an (Holly Hunter) track a serial killer. "The Ice Storm" (1997): A very adult, and adulterous, Weaver is great in helping put forth a story of restless mid- 1970s suburbanites. "Galaxy Quest" (1999): This good-natured sci-fi spoof casts Weaver as one of the former stars of a fantasy series, thought to be the real thing by actual aliens who want the actors' help against an intergalactic enemy. "Avatar" (2009): Reunited with "Aliens" director James Cameron, Weaver plays it properly clinically as a scientist who either could aid or foil an ex-Marine's mission on the planet Pandora. bestof ...
