I like a particular trope in movies. it never gets old and if done well, it will never feel boring.
I am talking about the trope where in the hero emerges from the group in the time of difficulties or grave danger. Classic example is of ripley. During the first half of the movie, it doesn't feel like ripley is the lead. But when stuff hits the fan and everyone starts freaking out, the hero emerges aka the one with balls and skill and right state of mind emerges as main lead and takes control of the situation.
I can give more examples
Arnold in predator
Antonio Banderas in 13th warrior
Ripley in Alien.
Are there any other good movies where this is the case ?
