You must see The Incredibles. It is soooo good!

Wrath of Kahn still gives me nightmares from one scene where Ricardo Montalban puts this slug-like thing in Chekov's ear. *shudders*

If you choose to watch The Stepford Wives, be sure it's the original and not the travesty starring Nicole Kidman that came out last year.

I highly suggest Wrath of Khan, it is probably the best one and it may be the best tie-in to the tv show since it is essentially a sequel to the Khan episode.

20,000 Leagues under the sea is pretty good as well.
