Star Trek V is better than most people give it credit for, until the end. A movie where they set out to find God is bound to failure. Find God and however they represent Him in film is going to be underwhelming. Don't find God (as happens in the movie) and there's no satisfying resolution at all.

Better than I expected and decent overall. Would have done better to have had fewer 'splosions and more depth to the story and characters. I actually think that a sequel with this cast will be a better movie now that they've gotten past all the cutesy origin story stuff.
Have you seen The Clash: Westway to the World. It's a pretty straight-forward documentary directed by Don Letts. Lots of good concert footage and interviews with band members and others. No campfires that I recall.

That's some of the best music of the twentieth century there --- as much Memphis Soul as Chicago Blues (and Aretha brought the Muscle Shoals sound). Simply as a delivery system for that music, I dig it. I also like seeing Landis use other filmmakers as actors. Like Purple Rain a good soundtrack does not a movie make. I'll take my soul & blues without endless car crashes thank you very much.

In the first round I had to vote against both of these great movies because they were matched up with sentimental favorites of mine. And now they face one another. I went with Raiders of the Lost Ark, but man this contest just isn't fair!
