Khaaaaan!
I just finished watching the Wrath of Khan Director's Edition DVD for the second time, this time with Michael Okuda's text commentary turned on.
Damn, but I love that movie. It's got absolutely everything: the plot is well-paced, the space-battle action is exciting, the characterization is spot-on, Ricardo Montalban is amazing as Khan, and, to top it all off, the movie has some very substantial thematic meat on its action-adventure bones. And, even though I've seen it a good 20-30 times now, and even though I know he's going to be back in the next movie, I have to admit, Spock's death scene leaves me teary-eyed every time.
The text commentary itself is pretty cool, too. Okuda spouts lots and lots of interesting trivia facts, many of which I already knew, but a surprising number of which were actually new to me.
Now I still need to find time to watch the rest of the extras...
