Agreed. I recently popped in Star Trek V for kicks and it worked flawlessly. However, I must say, while the physical tape may have aged well, the content surely did not - yeesh, what a stinker.

Anyway, it all depends on the storage - the best advice I ever heard was "store your things where you live" (in other words most of us don't live in the attic or the basement).

Of all the Star Treks to watch for kicks, you picked V? I'd have no complaints if it and Start Trek I ceased to exist.

Oh, I know it. I came upon it rummaging and popped it in later that evening.

Honestly, I think in a single act I nearly destroyed my youngest son's interest in the series by having him watch the first one with me. I haven't seen those movies in years, but it really reminded me how big Star Trek was back then to be able make such bold assumptions of the audience on so many levels.

You know though, all this talk - I think I'm going to dig up another and watch it tonight. There's actually a couple I still haven't seen.

The first film has a lot more going for it than V. It's not great if you go in expecting a Star Trek movie, though. Scratches a very different itch.
