I will never understand what the production staff was thinking when they made Code of Honor. It stands in such stark contrast to anything else ever done under the Star Trek name. Horrifyingly bad — even Voyager never sunk as low as that episode.

For me, Khan is the best character piece of the 6 TOS films, but Undiscovered Country has a fantastic combination of character development, action-adventure excitement, interesting locales (I

Yes. Malkovich was the one who crashed the airplane on the Las Vegas strip.

"What could possibly go wrong?"

Hurt has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, so… yeah, the Don Quixote curse strikes again.

Yes, he is fantastic in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. The interplay between Kilmer and Downey makes that film.

"… pacino basically gave up acting at this point… "

I loved it as well. Terry Gilliam has a particular sort of visionary brilliance that resonates with me perfectly.

"True Lies, say, is an Arnold movie […] — you're coming for Arnold being Arnold."

I was surprised the list left off Aliens. Newt may not literally be Ellen Ripley's daughter, but the movie begins with Ripely learning that she's missed the life of her own daughter thanks to cryosleep and her subsequent relationship with Newt is at the core of the film… culminating in the best sequence of the film,
