  Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan 1982

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 06 Nov 2017

  "Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most.... [voice breaks] human."
  -Captain James T. Kirk

  Not just the best Star Trek film, but a legitimately great film to boot. Wrath of Khan is an excellent meditation on what it means to be human. Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? Or the one?

  Every place someone could have possibly drawn a penis, they have done so. No surface has been left un-phallicized. I love that.

  L.A. Confidential 1997

  ★★★★½ Watched 27 Feb 2018 1

  Excellent film. Really smart screenplay and acting so impressive that one could almost forget they're watching a film filled to the brim with recognizable faces. One of the best neo-noirs ever made; a must-see for fans of the genre.

  Nothing but respect for MY Best Picture 1997 (although I do really love Titanic).
