Barbarella #1

» Movies

A poll of the readership of Film Review has put Jane Fonda's performance as Barbarella at the top of a list of sexiest women in science fiction movies. I don't have anything against Fonda but it took repeated attempts over decades for me to finally make it all the way through Barbarella. My own number one would probably be Martine Beswick from Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde. Given my age and tastes my own list would mostly consist of women from 1950s and 1960s b-movies (aka Psychotronic videos). Not that Milla Jovovich wasn't the best part of The Fifth Element. Princess Leia just baffles me.

The list via Ananova:

1. Barbarella (played by Jane Fonda in Barbarella)2. Leeloo (played by Milla Jovovich, The Fifth Element)3. T-X (played by Kristanna Loken, Terminator 3)4. Princess Leia (played by Carrie Fisher, Star Wars)5. Trinity (played by Carrie Anne Moss, The Matrix)6. Maria (played by Brigitte Helm, Metropolis)7. Zhora (played by Joanna Cassidy, Blade Runner)8. Sil (played by Natasha Henstridge, Species)9. Vaako (played by Thandie Newton, The Chronicles of Riddick)10. Ripley (played by Sigourney Weaver, Alien)

Feel free to share your feelings about Barbarella #1. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
