I would also like to suggest the movie. THX – 1138
I would like to suggest the movie: John, dies at the end
Outlander
Contact , The Hunt for Red October
So many to choose from the list...maybe you should just do them in alphabetical order.
Goldfinger
Dog Day Afternoon
Poseidon Adventure
I feel like we don't actually have to suggest Josh and Alex watch literally any film with even the briefest Trek actor appearance or most tenuous Trek connection.
This x1000
What movie seen by Alex but not Josh includes 6 Star Trek actors, 4 of which they have already seen by now -- 1 from a movie, 2 from season 1 Star Trek: the Next Generation, and 1 from a Season 1 episode of the original series?
One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest: Christopher Lloyd as Taber played Kruge in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock; Michael Berryman as Ellis played Captain Rixx in the TNG episode Conspiracy; Vincent Schiavelli as Frederickson played the holographic arms dealer in the TNG episode Arsenal of Freedom; and in a small role Peter Brocco as Colonel Matterson played an an Organian in the TOS episode Errand of Mercy.

Event Horizon (1997)
Annihilation (2018)
Sphere (1998)
Phenomenon (1996 w/ John Travolta)
Maverick
Demolition Man
Transformers : The Movie. That hit pretty hard for me as a 9 yr old kid. Blew my tiny little mind. Whether the emotion will translate for Alex and Josh nearly 40 years later (yikes) I’m not sure. Could be a film of its time. Depends if they played with Transformers. 😂
The Naked Gun (i think the year is messed up onto the list - should be 87)
Contact! Such an underrated movie from the 90s
Second this
This is Spinal Tap
Highlander
Gattaca
Gattaca! 100%
The Omen (1976) since the prequel is coming out in a few weeks
For April Fools Day could you guys watch Futurama Season 4 Episode 12 "Where No Fan has gone Before" I think you'd like it

Flight of the Navigator
Beverly Hills Cop
Superman: The Movie
Talented Mr Ripley
Dog Soldiers (2002)
Foul Play (1978)
Silver Streak (1976)
The Odd Couple (1968)

The Lives of Others (2006) is very highly rated, but it has subtitles
Time Bandits (1981)
THX-1138 (1971)
Planet of the Apes
I liked your suggestion on the assumption you meant the original 1968 version.
Deliverance (1972)
Cloud Atlas

Contact (1997)
100%!
A Clockwork Orange - a true masterpiece!
I might suggest 2001, but only in order to get the sequel, 2010 (1984), to the list. I actually think 2010 is the better movie (whereas 2001 is a cinematic experience).
True Grit (1969) (Also: Holy Cow, Gentlemen. You have a lot of movies to catch up on.)
Theatre Of Blood (1973)
Ran (1985)
Harold and Maude (1971)
SNEAKERS!!!
Sneakers!!!!
Lifeforce (1985)
Sneakers!
Escape from New York (1981)
Galaxy Quest (1999) - a must-see for any TOS fan
They've already done a reaction to that one... But i'm hoping we can get them to do a rewatch when they get deeper into TNG/DS9/Voyager. The more Trek you know, the funnier it gets.
I'm going to throw one out there that's not on the list: Fire in the Sky from 1993.
Transformers the movie (1986) - If only for their reaction to Galvatron’s voice actor
Also, that soundtrack is MMMM!!!!!
Three Days of the Condor (1975)
Margin Call
Master & Commander aka the second best Star Trek movie that’s technically not a Star Trek movie
I agree! I came here to recommend it "for fans of starship captains"😄
Maverick
I second Marverick
Silent Running (1972)
Excalibur (1981)
True Lies (1994)
The Flight of the Phoenix (1965)
From your list: WarGames - would love to compare it to the AI you’ve seen in Star Trek, and the AI of today. It was scary in 1983, then silly for many years, and now it’s back to scary again. We watched it after Oppenheimer when we went on a nuclear kick. Brazil- cause it’s just wonderfully bonkers cray cray.
I didn’t see it on your list … big trouble in little China (1986) Kirt Russel
The Final Countdown (1980)
Sneakers. No second thought.
100%!!!!!
For A Few Dollars More! Call me crazy but it's my favorite in the Dollars trilogy (above The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly).
It's my favorite of the trilogy, too
Oscar! (It not being on the list, if it is going to lose second choice is Gattaca). :-)
Any suggested movies not on the list will be added regardless if they make the poll or not!
I'd love to see a classic John Wayne movie added to the list: The Quiet Man (especially with St. Patrick's Day being tomorrow)!
Ooh, that's a good choice.
The Prestige
We have both seen this (and love it), but that doesn't disqualify it!
