Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country: 6th in Original Cast series
Nicholas Meyer
Star Trek V left us nowhere to go but up, and with the return of
Star Trek II director Nicholas Meyer,
Star Trek VI restored the movie series to its classic blend of space opera, intelligent plotting, and engaging interaction of stalwart heroes and menacing villains. Borrowing its subtitle (and several lines of dialogue) from Shakespeare, the movie finds Admiral Kirk (William Shatner) and his fellow
Enterprise crew members on a diplomatic mission to negotiate peace with the revered Klingon Chancellor Gorkon (David Warner). When the…

The Lawnmower Man
Brett Leonard
In 1992,

Jurassic Park a year later. Written and directed by Brett Leonard,
The Lawnmower Man focuses on a scientist (Pierce Brosnan) trying to utilize technology for governmental gain. As with all top-secret government projects in the movies, it goes horribly wrong. Forced to progress from a chimp to a human subject,…
