The 30 best space movies
Director: Nicholas Meyer Cast: William Shatner, Ricardo Montalbán, Leonard Nimoy The eye-popping space battles and serene galactic imagery. The mind-controlling space eels. The introduction of the Kobayashi Maru test. The tear-soaked space funeral. The goddamn mind-controlling space eels. The Wrath of Khan stands tall above all the USS Enterprise's cinematic adventures for many reasons, but chief among them is its deference to space itself – the franchise's spiritual home. The reboot might have more advanced ships and shinier effects, but this was the moment Trek matched Star Wars in terms of pure awe in the abyss.

Everything we know about Edinburgh Warner Bros film with huge Hollywood names
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Edinburgh locals have spotted Warner Bros trucks around the city in recent days, with filming for an upcoming project underway. Details have been kept under wraps, with residents previously speculating that the filming was for the upcoming Harry Potter series. It's now understood that the production is for Ghostwriter - a sci-film due for release in 2026. The cast includes Samuel L Jackson, Glen Powell, Jenna Ortega and Emma Mackey. It comes from director JJ Abrams, who is behind films like Cloverfield and the more recent Star Wars films. While the plot is a tightly kept secret, The Hot Mic has suggested the film is an '80s throwback film and follows the author of a series of novels who reveals that the mythical world he's known for creating is in fact real. Production is also said to be happening in London. Spots in Edinburgh such as West College Street, Merchant Street, Candlemaker Row, and Chambers Street are being used as filming locations. (Image: Edinburgh Live) Locals also spotted crews setting up in Holyrood Park back on June 3. None of the rumoured cast have been papped in and around the city as of yet, though one lifelong Samuel L Jackson claims to have had an interaction with his hero. Matt's partner, Rosie, told Edinburgh Live: "Matt finally had his dream come true this week when the legendary actor was spotted filming scenes for his new movie Ghostwriter in the city. Sign up for Edinburgh Live newsletters for more headlines straight to your inbox "Determined not to miss his hero, Matt camped out for 15 hours near the filming location with snacks, a fold-up chair, and unshakable optimism. Armed with only hope and a homemade sign that read 'I've had it with these motherlovin' waits!' he finally got the moment he'd waited a lifetime for." A release date hasn't been given for the film, though it's been suggested that it'll hit our screens next year. Warner Bros have been approached for comment.
