Doctor Who - The TV Movie. The 1996 US co-production one-off - and thank goodness for that! It was lame at the time, and time has not improved it any. It really doesn't resemble Who at all (particularly not the original series, though it does resemble some of the dumber modern ones), more a lame sub-Hollywood action movie with a few character names and Who iconography randomly thrown about. Paul McGann doesn't particularly inspire and impress in his one and only performance as the Doctor, and while its nice to see Sylvester again, it's a fairly piss-poor excuse of an exit for him (he gets about five lines and then gets killed off). Pretty dreadful.
