STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE (1979)
This film has always gotten a bad rap by critics and fans, but I love its lyrical pace and cosmic ending (though now sadly ruined for me by You-Know-Who). Self-importance isn’t necessarily a bad thing if it’s done well, especially when it’s showcasing William Shatner. William Shatner award for the presence of the incomparably self-important William Shatner. Not to be confused with Star Trek IV, which is basically the same story but with whales and a better rug.
Star Trek: The Motion Picture – The Director’s Edition (Remastered)
Thats a great selection and the inclusion of Airport 75 is genius.
Guess you don’t watch a lot of foreign cinema 😉 I can name a number of bonkytits pictures that leave most of these in the dust. Week End (1967), Fitzcarraldo (1982), Diabel (1974), The Laughing Woman (1969), Last Year at Marienbad (1961), anything by Lars von Trier… And how come Zabriskie Point (1970) didn’t make this list? Classic.
You forgot the award in Magnolia: The Tom Cruise Award for the presence of the incomparably self-important Tom Cruise. I know… it’s so obvious it’s redundant…
