A question. Are all the Star Trek Movies part of that Star Trek series option, or is it the actual tv series?

This is referring to the films, not the TV series. Star Trek: The Motion Picture (I), The Wrath of Khan (II), The Search for Spock (III), The Voyage Home (IV), The Final Frontier (V), The Undiscovered Country (VI), Generations (VII), First Contact (VIII), Insurrection (IX), Nemesis (X) and Star Trek (2009) are the ones included. If any of these films is your favorite, you may vote for the series. As I said, we may have a bonus voting to decide the best of the best series, if it wins the contest. ;)

I voted. I'll admit it, I put in a few "lame" titles as well, though I really love all the ones I put in.

What in the world? Like... the vast majority of these movies are rubbish... or at the very least not deserving of the title "Greatest Movie of All-Time."


I voted solely for The Sound of Music. It's not THE BEST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!1111! but the songs and plot were pretty good...

No, you never should have.
But don't break your back
If you ever see this,
But don't answer that.

You guys gotta remember that this is part on of the list. There will be a few more polls, so these aren't the only movies to choose from.

Oh, I see. I thought he took the top sixteen movies from the PM's and made this poll, and then we'd narrow it down. Thanks for explaining. I'm happier now. ;)

Star Trek series and Dark Knight.

I'll admit, I put Legally Blonde there, but it really is one of the best feel good comedies I've seen.

I ashamedly admit that I have seen most of Legally Blonde. I absolutely hated it. Nothing in the whole movie made me laugh. It was just boring and unfunny.

I voted for The Dark Knight and The Sound of Music, but The Ultimate Gift and Monsters, Inc. both just missed out.

I like a lot of movies people consider lame. But, when I said "Wow, a few lame titles some how made the list." I was talking about movies I consider lame. Unbreakable is the only movie I voted for that made the list. So I voted for Unbreakable and Monsters Inc, but Back to the Future, The Dark Knight and Star Trek are awesome ones too.

-Robert

P.S. How'd Robocop get in there?

I voted for the Star Trek movies and The Sound of Music, though I wanted to vote for Monsters, Inc., Toy Story, Cool Runnings, and a few others as well. So hard to choose... ](*,)

I didn't know you were a Star Trek fan, Eugene.

(BTW, the Star Trek movies and the Pixar movies don't belong on that list of not so great quality movies. :- )
