Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
Robert Wise’s almost universally maligned extrapolation on The Original Series (TOS) episode ‘The Changeling’ almost killed Trek stone dead. But everyone should see it again. Yes, it’s slow, pretentious, confusing and unashamedly rips off 2001: A Space Odyssey. But it’s also one of the most beautiful-looking of the films, has an incredible score, and boasts the most chilling opening scenes in the franchise (approximated most closely by the new Star Trek). It’s also got the enigmatic, relentless V’ger as its villain who taught the Borg everything they know (or was it the other way around?). Only Khan competes there.
