And Ellen Ripley, definitely. Although, I haven't seen Scream in so long, I'd probably need to revisit that one.

The way she is obviously determined to take out the alien but at the same time the fact that they don't hide the fact that she is also frightened by it makes her more human. Even in the scenes where she does show weakness and vulnerability (i.e. that scene with Ash, or when she tries to rescue the cat) she still manages to avoid letting it keep her down.<br /><br />I'm not sure that Laurie Strode is that great a final girl, though. Maybe it's just because I never bothered with the sequels (I didn't even like the first one, what makes you think I'd want to sit through six other movies like it?) but she just spent the end of the original film crying because Michael Myers just wouldn't friggin' stay dead after he'd been stabbed, shot and then fell out a second story window.

I just give Sidney a slight edge, who is no slouch herself.
