You can even say ten of your favourites, nobody obligates you to say only three. We are living in a free forum, your post won't be erased or edited because you posted more than three of your favourite films.
In addition, I don't think anybody would ask from you 'Why'

Nemesis wasn't bad. At least it beat ST:TMP, ST V: The Final Frontier, and Insurrection. I mean, hell, it's an even-numbered film. Automatically beats most of the odd-numbered films.

Rent? Yeah, if for nothing but the special effects and one of the best space battles I've seen so far. But don't expect an amazing movie. :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Wrath of Khan: no.

Undiscovered Country: Personally, I think so, but it's been ages since I've seen TUC.
First Contact: Not quite... ;)

Yes. Great special effects and action sequences. However, I agree with most of the people here that the story needs more work.

It might have been better if they had included some of those deleted scenes. They might have added a bit to the story.

Setekh notes to himself: Switch brain off before watching Nemesis.

Check. ;)

Oh, and I guess nobody else has seen The Big Lebowski, then...

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE????? :eek:

The Coen brothers are the masters of comedic cinema. If you haven't seen TBL, Fargo, or Brother, Where Art Thou?, then go and rent them NOW. You won't regret it.... :nod:

I've loved every movie I've seen by them but I still have a couple I've not seen. I suspect they'll get some more attention now since their latest film is much more commercial.

I don't think that is needed, right? The main focus of the show should be about the main characters of the Enterprise and not the extras who are in the movie as the crewmembers walking around the ship.
