24) Space Seed

Far out in deep space, the Enterprise encounters the S.S. Botany Bay, a 200-year-old Earth vessel with a crew of 72 in a state of suspended animation. What Captain Kirk is about to discover is that this "crew" is actually a renegade group of genetically-engineered super-beings led by Khan Noonien Singh, an ambitious and charismatic leader who immediately sets out to revive his people, take over the Enterprise and use the powerful starship to conquer the galaxy. Between guest star Ricardo Montalban's magnetic performance, his dynamic chemistry with William Shatner and the fact that he inspired what is inarguably the greatest "Star Trek" movie of them all, "Space Seed" will always be highly regarded as a beloved and absolute classic. The story resonates deeper than ever, the writing is sharp and the acting is superb -- and as soon as it's over, you want to watch "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" all over again.
