I think it was Mad Magazine that had a parody of this;

Scotty: This must be very emotional for you captain, you've circled the ship three times.

Kirk: Yes it is very emotional Mr. Scott. Also, I can't seem to find the damn door!!!

I'd stopped reading Mad by this time, but leave it to them to sum it up beautifully!

I've always preferred French Connection II over the first of the series. Sure, the middle part is a bit too slow, but the action is even better, and Hackman's character is far more interesting here, in a setting where he has to start from zero.

Why, you ask? Well, this IS a site about "bad movies", so naturally most discussions are going to be about our "least favorite things".

DOH!

OK some of my favourites (at this time. My taste is always changing):
Favouite serious movie: Fight Club definitely. Didn't go to see it at the movies because it didn't soud that good. Rented it one night because I was bored and it blew my mind.
Favourite comedy: Hot Shots. Lloyd Bridges kills me in this movie. I start laughing about a minute before the lines because I know what is coming.
Favourite horror: tough one. I would have to say Halloween or Dawn of the Dead. Jason X comes a close second (yeah right).
Favourite Sci-Fi: John Carpenter's The Thing or Them! Got to love those old school fifties sci-fi's, especially when they involve giant animals mutated by radiation.
Of course if you ask me again tomorrow this list will probably have changed again.
