    Must See: Star Trek

    Star%20Trek%20TOS.jpg Must-see movies are futuristic classics that shouldn't be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That's why we've rated them 1-5 on the patented "crunchy goodness" scale.

    Title: Star Trek
    Date: 1966-1969

    Vitals: A paramilitary science squad in color-coded pajamas grapples (and sometimes makes whoopie) with the unknown. Captain Kirk almost loses control of the Enterprise in almost every episode — usually to a man who's either younger and hungrier, or even older and creepier.

    Famous names: Gene Roddenberry, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Deforest Kelley, James Doohan, Harlan Ellison, Theodore Sturgeon.

    Crunchy goodness: 3

    Spinoffs/Sequels/Copycats: Eleven films, plus Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager and Enterprise.

    Sights you'll never unsee: The half-black, half-white space racists running through fake yule log flames. A big blob ordering Abraham Lincoln to wrestle Vulcans. Captain Kirk flying a starship into a space dildo. Spock flamenco-dancing. It goes on and on.

    Life lesson: "You'll have to get your entertainment somewhere else." — Captain Kirk.

    Most painfully dated moment: The planet where the Vietnam war never ended.
