One of my favourite cinematic moments, and I guess by default one of my great sci-fi moments is the stealing of the Entreprise from the space dock by Kirk and Co. in Star Trek III : The Search for Spock.
Yes Binky, I said Star Trek
Why do I Like it?
It's a real tense sequence.
Our heroes have stolen the ship, gone against all kinds of starfleet regulations because they believe they should do this for their dead friend. As they take the ship out the space doors are closed and as they get close Kirk turns to Scotty;
''And ....NOW Mr Scott''
''Sir?''
''The doors Mr Scott!!''
''Aye Sir, I'm working on it!!''
Of course, the doors open just in time and they escape.
All this is set to a superb, rousing, bombastic score by James Horner.
Incidentally, there is something quite nice about Mr Scott, in daddy bear type of way.
