While the main draw of the movie are the Ghostbusters themselves, Weaver also makes a memorable turn as Dana Barret, a cellist with a haunted refrigerator that gets possessed by a demonic spirit. Dana is a sympathetic female lead, while the possession scenes dial up the ham to good effect.

A dark fantasy drama about a young boy with a terminally ill mother who is visited by giant treelike monster. Sigourney Weaver plays the boy’s grandmother, with the tense relationship between the two resulting in equal parts levity and heartbreak.

Still the biggest movie in the world, Avatar reunited Sigourney Weaver with Aliens director James Cameron – here, Weaver plays a scientist in charge of the Avatar program, which allows humans to take control of alien bodies so that they can interact with the Na’Vi, the indigenous people of the planet of Pandora. As tension between the locals and the colonising humans grows, it’s up to one man and his Avatar to stop a catastrophe.
