The bit that lingers most in my memory is the opening sequence with the Klingons, and the background music, which was utterly spot on for the retooled Klingons.
That Goldsmith is perfect, isn't it?
Absolutely! In fact, sometimes I watch TMP just to hear his score.

Goldsmith is the modern Korngold. His scores are amazing.

Its not on the poll, but having just rewatched the film I'd have to go with Dr McCoy reluctantly beaming aboard.

In my humble opinion, the approach to the Enterprise is one of the most beautiful scenes in all of cinema.

If I was about to board a ship like that, I think I'd prefer the pod to the transporter.

Scotty did seem to take the long way round :)
