How William Shatner Changed the World (2007)

The Emmy-nominated documentary How William Shatner Changed the World is thoroughly mind-blowing. The Shat-hosted film shows how the futuristic Star Trekliterally inspired many of today's technological advances. Don't believe it? You will after hearing testimony — and, in some cases, old dialogue — from superfans like the inventor of the cell phone, NASA's chief propulsion engineer, a top neurosurgeon, and one of the brains behind QuickTime. It's enough to make any TV junkie feel momentarily validated. And, perhaps, to get Trekkies some tail.
