Favourite James Bond Films: The Dark Knight Trilogy, Mission: Impossible and any upcoming action films starring Pierce Brosnan (no, it's not James Bond which is good because he'll need it to expand his reputation as an actor, especially in the action realm)
Favourite Films: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Harry Potter, Middle-Earth, The Matrix, Mission: Impossible

Next is Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the swansong of the TOS crew. If I must say, it looks like the filmmakers save the best for last with the Cold War theme.

A great swansong for the original crew, which also neatly tied up some loose threads from the "Genesis Trilogy" of Treks 2, 3, and 4. Admittedly, the story would've probably had more weight if they had used Saavik (as originally intended) instead of creating the character of Valeris.
I caught a midnight showing on opening night and the crowd went nuts at the end, when the individual signatures were written across the screen.

10. As poirot says it is a brilliant send off for the Kirk crew. The Klingon peace theme is great considering Kirk's hatred of them and Christopher Plummer created a great villian with General Chang.

I love this one. I was surprised to read that there were some budget cuts as it seems high quality to me.

Khaaaaaaannnnnn! Ooops, wrong movie. Wonderful movie, 10/10. I enjoyed Captain Sulu, and the part where Scott and Uhura are trying to talk Klingon to the Klingon border police.

I would also want to add that this installment serves as bridge between TOS and TNG.

Nimoy shot a Next Generation episode at the same time which was pretty good. I gave this 9. It's a nice swansong and you get to see William Shatner having a fight with himself!
