Sidney is my fave. i loved that she was so strong. smart and felt empathy whenever someone died
I’ve honestly never even thought of Sarah Connor as a final girl, but man I couldn’t agree more.
Yeah idk if I consider her one 😐
nolanc94 why not
Ryan Cheek idk if I even consider Terminator horror
@@nolanc9432 I wouldn't consider terminater a horror movie
Terminator is not a slasher he uses guns how do you slash with a gun dumb dumb
Personally Sydney will always be my number 1 final girl but I appreciate the runner up position
Yeah, she is my number 1 personally, but I am totally fine with number 2.
I agree. I would have had her at number 1, but I'll settle for number 2.
Same
Laurie is always number one. Only people who haven’t watched classics would put her first
@@dakotamanns4682 Idk I love Laurie but look how she ended up. If you go based on the original, and compare what she’s been through, she didn’t really win. She lost her daughter and became isolated. Whereas Sidney has been through it 4 times and still managed to keep her life together and if rumors are true have a marriage and have two children. In my opinion Sidney is a stronger/better final girl.
Erin in You’re Next was awesome! She had me rooting for her so hard I was cheering in my living room every time she killed someone lol.
Literally same! She is my number 1 final girl
I love how at least one list it was pointed out that she’s one of the few final girls/heroes with a higher body count than the villains.
Kyle from Childs Play 2 would if been in my top 5
Agreed. Her cameo in Cult makes me hope she'll appear in the TV show.
Emily Valentine?
Oooh good one!
She's underrated and I don't know why, she's so good, maybe it's because she was only in one movie
@@Hardbody217 the TV show is scrapped, there is a different direction in the making
15:14 I feel like Nancy should have gotten the Dream Master powers Alice had in 4 and 5. She fits better as Freddy's good counterpart and arch enemy.
Nancy was dead by those films...
@@that1forgettableperson458 What I mean is that should have been her dream power in the 3rd film.
@@Xehanort10 oh ok
@@Xehanort10 as a kid yes looking back no. Alice looked more badass with fighting powers
Nancy always. Powers or not. Why is Alice never mentioned much
My favorite: Ginny from Friday the 13th Part 2, because she used her psychology background to tap into Jason's mind and outsmart him. I love that she was able to defeat him with intelligence rather than physical strength which comes out of nowhere for most final girls, where they're weak and scared throughout the film and then randomly become Rambo at the end
Nancy Thompson is my Favorite final girl. But I'm really biased.
Me too
@Caleb HD it was a great way to end her story but obviously it wasn’t the end of the nightmare films and it had the best Freddy death
When something is your favorite, it's always subjective. Not really biased, it's normal. And logical.
She should be on list despite her dying in part 3 she was final girl in 1st one an
New Nightmare
As a Friday and Chucky fanatic, I'm not at all pissed at this list. Everybody likes different things. Cool list, glad Helen got some love on here😁❤✌keep rockin🤘
My fave 1.Sidney Prescott 2.Nancy Thompson 3.Kirsty Cotton
These lists are always fun to watch, and I really liked your choices! Laurie Strode will always and forever be my #1 final girl. You asked us to say why, so here goes: Laurie is always the caretaker, and is therefore the perfect foil for a psycho killer. First, she's the babysitter, and later, she is the mother (and mother/grandmother again). Laurie scrambles to save herself, but she is also fighting for others' safety. Some of the other girls are concerned about others, but Laurie is a true mother figure: she preserves life, while Michael steals it away. Cool list! :)
You’re channel gets better every day. Soon enough you’ll have 42k.
He's just 200 subscribers away from 42K.
So close!!!
@@nolanc9432 Cody's now at 41.9 K....just 100 subscribers away from 42,000 subscribers!
Mario Lopez 🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
Make that 43!
Nancy is my forever favorite final girl
The way I think about you’re opinions, ‘I’m a man of controversy’.... and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s what makes you stand out from the rest of the crowd.
For me Erin Will always be best final girl she's literally everything you could ever want in a final girl She is the perfect evolution of final girls every final girl that came before her was a build-up to what would eventually become erin I'm sorry but none of the other final girls can hold a candle to her put any other of these final girls against Erin she would kill every single one of them.
Erin was such a great character I took a lot of inspiration from her while writing a character for this script to a horror anime that I've been working on for years.
When you paused at 5 I knew you were gonna say LAURIE😂
My favourite final girls:
1. Nancy - A Nightmare on Elm Street
2. Sidney - Scream
3. Laurie - Halloween
4. Erin - You’re Next
5. Ripley - Alien
6. Ginny - Friday the 13th Part 2
7. Kirsty - Hellraiser
8. Jess - Black Christmas
9. Cyndi - Kill River (slasher novels)
10. Sarah - The Descent
11. Jamie and Rachel - Halloween 4
12. Jannicke - Cold Prey
13. Mia - Evil Dead
Great list
Love that Rob Zombie made Annie Brackett as a "semi" final girl surviving the first and unsurprisingly dying in the second.
Honestly wasn’t surprised about Aaron being on this list she’s a great final girl seriously
Jenniey the queen don’t rlly give af...
Its erin but ok
Ssoooooo glad you included Erin..she is an absolute BEAST and my personal favorite final girl
I just watched American Werewolf in London
I hope Helen from Candyman made the list...🤨🤔
Mt favorite final girl is Sally Hardesty from 1974s Texas Chainsaw Massacre. She is so iconic, and she endured days of suffering.
She wasn't tough though she didn't even fight off leatherface she just ran
@@jtrillguzman9641 thanks for sharing *your* opinion
@@jtrillguzman9641 She did the best she could, the original TCM is very realistic, she was probably in shock. And I don’t really know what a short, petit teenage girl suffering from severe mental trauma is supposed to do against a huge giant of a man swinging around a chainsaw. I’d probably just run too.
@@foolforchrist319 I give it too her she came back in the 2022 version and try to fight him off but she didn't succeed
Sydney Prescott is my fav final girl imo in every sequel she just becomes more of a badass n has a growth at the end
Great list Cody! I thought that Grace from Ready or Not was also a badass Final Girl , Hope to see Samara Weaving it more Final Girl type roles
I love samara weaving she’s an amazing actress I like her in both babysitter movies on Netflix even though the first is way better then the second one
I also thought she would appear on the list, for me grace is a great final girl
I was getting really nervous when Sidney wasn't mentioned but then you mentioned her at number TWO! I legit clapped 😂
That Laurie Strode stunt had me dying man.
Dude this thumbnail is BADASS, did you come up with that yourself?
I'm equally as intrigued
Honestly, it’s an awesome one
I found them on google and put it together
Cody Leach Very cool. 👍🏽
@@CodyLeachYT hey man just wondering why didn't Erin from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003 make it on this list? Yes I know she was the reason her friends in that film all got killed, but when it was time to be brave, she was badass. To me shes a way better final girl than Laurie Strode. All in all your list is respected bro. I'm just baffled is all
I got one thing to say about Mia. Groovy!
So happy to see You’re Next get some love. I often feel that this movie doesn’t get nearly enough respect. Erin was a legit badass!
Yes this movie doesn't get the attention it deserves
Erin from You're Next is freaking awesome. I wish they had made a sequel, because she could easily carry a subsequent chapter. I don't know where they'd go with the story, but I want to find out.
I thought maybe Kyle from Child's Play 2 would be on the list.
I wouldn't have necessarily put her on my list but just thought Cody might being a big Chucky fan.
Andy = Best Final Girl 😂
Sky Min in that case then Tommy Jarvis is the best final girl in Friday the 13th
i fell out my chair when it came down to number 5 LMAO
10:51 I’m so dead right now😂
My top 6 final girls are (I'll make a full top 10 soon)
1 Neve Campbell
My biggest crush growing up, ever since watching the Craft she's been my favorite final girl. Then the movie's screams came out and I was in love with her.
2. Eliza Dushku
A close second, another crush I had as well. Watching the movie wrong turn did it for me loved her acting love her toughness and also her beautiful face. A underated actress. Need to make more movies like this. It would of been better if she continued in all the franchise's that's why the first wrong turn is my favorite.she could of saved the franchise.
3. Heather Langenkamp
A Nightmare on elm street loved her in the Nightmare on elm street's she made the movie's. Ever since she she died so did the franchise.
4. Ashley Laurence
Hellraiser Franchise another beautiful actress in a good franchise except the one's that she's not in again like the Nightmare on elm street with Langenkamp
The franchise went down hill after she left.
5. Jennifer Love Hewitt
I Know What You Did Last Summer
Beautiful actress good movie a strong and tough woman in this movie. Was a very entertaining movie enjoy watching her in this one.
6. Jamie Lee Curtis
Halloween Franchise
Great final girl in one of the best movies ever in my opinion Halloween a franchise like no other. A strong and a protector especially the one's she loves.
I'm glad Jennifer Love hewitt gets some love
Jamie too low on your list..
She did more Halloweens than Sidney did Screams...
Halloween (1) (2) (H20) (Resrrurections) (2018) (Kills) (Ends)
I absolutely LOVE this list. I ADORE it. This is the best thing ever. You have all the iconic final girls on this list and you have some that are very underrated and aswell I didn't see Sarah being the number 1 but I am definetly amazed by her and Iove that you have your own unique taste and list yet still putting the original icons on it. Great job @Cody Leach this list really made my day!
I would of added Jess Bradford from Black Christmas but pretty solid list.
Agreed.
2019?
Omg i forgot her but yes
@@TimmmTim Haven't seen the 2019 remake and never will see it. I meant the original 1974 version.
Cool I have her on my list as well
I love this list! I am a die-hard horror fan and you put so many characters that have been forgotten on other lists! Thank you!
I gotta be honest man. Knowing how much of a Freddy fanatic you are, I was shocked to see Nancy at number 4. I love that you aren't afraid to do stuff like that. Awesome list man. Keep up the great work!
Random fun fact about me: since being about 13 years old, whenever I am having a nightmare where I’m being attacked, no matter the capabilities of my attacker in my dream, I have always been able to lucid dream my way out of it. Usually by super jumping/flying.
Last night I had a nightmare where I was being attacked and no matter what I did I couldn’t escape my attacker.
My attacker was Jennifer Coolidge.
😂
All day I haven’t been able to stop thinking about a camp slasher featuring Jennifer Coolidge as a surprise villain.
The final girl from “I Spit On Your Grave” is also very underrated. Goes straight John Kramer on the antagonists.
I love how cody always has to tread lightly when anything Halloween isn't #1 lol. Great list man my #1 is Sydney.
Lmfao great gun effects with the Lorie Strode spot. And fuck dudeeee, I’m a sucker for Heather Langenkamp. My favorite final girl besides Neve Campbell. Great list nonetheless bro. Cheers🥃
ah, my fav topic to talk about concerning horror! super pumped!
edit: i screamed out loud when you mentioned Mia. my fav!!!! 🖤
As much as I like Laurie Strode, I see how much her character is constantly changed in the Halloween franchise. Sidney has gotta be my favorite final girl because she doesn't take any shit from Ghostface throughout the Scream films. I live how her character develops throughout the movies. Wonder how she's gonna be in the fifth one.
Very creative idea for a ranking list Cody. Great job!
So glad you put erin from You're Next. No one ever talks about the movie or this performance!!! Its a staple for me every halloween, my girlfriend one year even dressed up as her and I as a intruder with the sheep mask. Thank ya !!
I really enjoy you're doing top 10 videos like this. I don't know if you thought about it but would you consider doing a top 10 or possibly more of your own personal favorite horror icons? I would really enjoy discussing that
Thanks Cody love your channel have a great day and week bro
Nancy from nightmare on elm street is definitely my favorite final girl. In the beginning, she was terrified and vulnerable but i love how she rises up and becomes a tough survivor. A pure heroine
My top 10 final girls
10: Sally Hardesty
9: Julie James
8: Kirsty Cotton
7: Nancy Thompson
6: Alice Hardy
5: Sydney Prescott
4: Sarah Carter
3: Ellen Ripley
2: Laurie Strode
1: Sarah Conner
Ain’t no controversy Cody, this is YOUR list. You make the content. We all just watch it.
Dope list! I really like Kirsty from Hellraiser too, she's really cool
Yes she is but she's also underrated to me
Good to see you back!😁
Whoever drew that thumbnail, great job! It is beautifully done and gets me hyped! (Even though I haven't watched all of these movies yet)
Laurie Strode has and will always be my favorite final girl. Nothing will ever change that! 💯 Ellen Ripley is my 2nd favorite.
Another awesome list, and definitely some unique placements here. I'm not sure if Evelyn from A Quiet Place would count, but I'd add her as an honorable mention. Looking forward to seeing more.
James Cameron is a genius at creating badass, strong women.
Yes he is 💯
I agree this is a solid list and love it. You did a teaser review last year for Halloween Night a fan film and it was released on youtube in March I was just wondering if you have had a chance to see it yet. Keep doing what you do man.
Thank you cody for the great work and keep up the great work
JADA PINKETT SMITH in Demon Knight! She's never got her props for not only being a kick ass final girl BUT the 1st BLACK final girl! Respect 💯
Love that movie. Shes awesome
Great review Cody, I literally was laughing big time when you ducked and had the guns firing lol. More of that please.
Great video! Never thought to rank them!🥃🍺
I know these are pretty unknown movies, but I think Justine from Kristy, and Amber from Green Room (my two favorite movies) are amazing final girls, that deserve recognition.
Justine is an incredibly clever college chick, and the way that she takes action, after being the victim for so long, it's just so satisfying.
Although Amber has an attitude throughout the entire movie (which I adore), I loved how she (and Pat) develop and eventually learn take advantage.
Sydney, Ginny, and Nancy are my top 3 Finsl Girls
It feels like it's a hard thing for anyone that loves making movie reviews but I stand by my review and what is the best.
5: Ripley (Alien)
4: Laurie Strode(Halloween)
3: Kristy Cotton (Hellraiser)
2: Nancy Thompson (Nightmare On Elm Street)
1: Sidney Prescott (Scream)
Nice list sir! Loved the Laurie Strode intro lol! Good Stuff
Number 5 has me cracking up lmaoo
Love your reviews and rankings Cody👍👍
love this list, love these ladies. really pleased to see some oft forgotten final girls here. *thumbs up*
Just subscribed because of how perfectly you gave Nancy her due diligence!!! Shes my fav with sidney close 2nd
Great list Cody!!! I love it!!! And, I agree about Laurie and H20. One of the best interpretations of the character. Also, I too, am a fan of Dark Fate! Thanks for another awesome and enjoyable video! Congrats!!!!
Hey, Cody. This one's tough, man. I would have a hard time trying to remember them all or then sifting through all of them. Good video, Brother.
I've still loved you since your Halloween 2018 review!! 😁
H20 Laurie was the best interpretation so far in my opinion. Tough yet damaged, but not so damaged that she's incapable of having any relationships with family and friends. That was just a little boring from the 2018 incarnation, a little too cruel. H20 was the right mix. Shame Resurrection happened.
Hell yeah man, I was waiting for this one
Hey, bro, congrats on your channel's success, been watching you since 5k subs.
I DIED at the machine guns!!! Nice touch Cody
Enjoyed your thoughts on the whichness of the why.
I think Alice Johnson was a great character as well. Weak girl who became strong after her friends gave her their power. Great character development
Great list, I’m glad The Descent got some love.
Sidney, Mia, and Erin are my holy trinity. Nica from the later Child’s Play movies is good too (despite Cult sucking.) I love Helen too, there’s something so elegant about her.
I've always waited for this type of list on TH-cam, though I don't have one off the top off my head.
great pick for #1, didn’t see that coming but i completely agree.
Great content, style and humour - plus your accent is awesome. Have you ever looked into the theory from The Descent that explains how Sarah is actually the killer, and the crawlers a figment of her imagination? It's an interesting perspective. The US and UK versions have slightly different endings also - great film and final girl either way......
For me-
1. Erin from You’re Next
2. Sidney Prescott
3. Jessie from Wrong Turn
4. Laurie Strode (especially H20 version)
5. Grace from Ready or Not
Love your channel cody, greetings from the UK
Jamie Lee Curtis is the queen of the slasher films
10:51 hope Halloween fans didn't go that mad lol😂
Great ranking man! I love this top 10 videos! Keep it up Cody!👍
23:00 My favourite Sarah scene in T2 is when she's shooting the shit out of the T-1000 with a shotgun and then it does the creepy "uh uh uh" finger wag.
Awesome thumbnail Cody!!
Incredible list 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love your vids cody
Thank you
Wow great list! I can't say I can even argue with that one, nice!
I have two Erins on my list, one from “Your Next” and the other from “Hush”!
Sarah Connor played by Linda Hamilton was the only good thing about Terminator: Dark Fate.
I disagree. The new Terminator is pretty bad ass too!
@@mariolopez3728 I disagree. He was a poor man's Version of Robert Patrick's T-1000.
@@Horrormaster13 I agree that he's a poor man's version of the T-1000....but he was still a bad ass character. You said that Sarah Connor was the ONLY thing good in Dark Fate. I think this new version of the Terminator should qualify as another good thing in Dark Fate....not just Sarah Connor.
Sarah Connor was fucking amazing in that.
Dark Fate is probably the worst Terminator movie. The series is dead and they bury it
Great video, great ranking but I love that background music..
Nice call in Mia from the Evil Dead man. Very underrated film and she freaking rocked the shit at the end and had a great character arch.
Great American werewolf in london shirt. I hope to see a review of that soon.
