Star Trek just never works in a movie medium imo. The real meat of their stories work best in episodic format, with the occasional two parter.

The only movies that were decent was when there were no series being aired like Wrath of Khan. Pretty much all the TNG movies were just fan service, but palatable. The Kelvin timeline doesn't exist in my book.

Which ones are the middle three?

Getting to the point where I don't hear the laugh track anymore is a major feat, and a show has to be very funny for me to want to try to get to that point.

Frasier or IT Crowd, for example, are a couple that come to mind.

I loved the first Star Wars as a kid and also Empire Strikes Back. I was distraught when I learned that George Lucas had planned nine movies in total; the thought of having to wait that long to see them was unbearable. I ended up not particularly caring about Return of the Jedi (the muppet really ruined that movie for me, along with the Ewok "song" at the end). I've still never even seen the prequels, and I only watched the three new ones last year because I wanted to see if they were as bad as everyone said. They were.
