HOLIDAY: 4th of JULY - INDEPENDENCE DAY

TREK FLICK: STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN
WHY?: "And the rocket's red glare! The bombs bursting in space!"

This movie perfectly captures that gung ho, kickass feel of the 4th of July. BBQ, Beer and Ceti Eels. Kirk uses his whits, cunning and luck to lead a young crew of upstarts who are thrust into the battle of their lives, forever shaping the history, and memory of the franchise.

Sacrifices are made, and a new life begins. The final Nebula battle is like Kirk leading his crew over the frozen Potomac, winning our independence all over again.

"I don't like to lose."
