In the 27th week of 2020 for Wandering Through the Shelves' Thursday Movie Picks. We return to the seven deadly sins with the theme of wrath. Defined mainly as anger or rage, it is one of the most deadly of sins as it play into people who are just really fucking pissed off. Here are my 3 picks: 1. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
The second film of the franchise series based on the TV show remains the standard bearer for all of the films of that franchise. It is a simple revenge film of sorts as it relates to the titular character who was known from an episode in the series after his encounter with Captain Kirk and his crew many years ago. In this film, he seeks revenge on Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise as Ricardo Montalban just owns the role that he played back in the 1960s on one of episodes of the show. Here, he’s far more cunning while the scene where he gets his revenge on Kirk has him deliver this incredible monologue that is followed by Kirk’s rage of… KHAN!!!!!! 2. Revenge of the Sith
The best film of the prequels trilogy in the Skywalker Saga and certainly a better film than The Rise of Skywalker is a film about wrath. The wrath coming from the Sith who would re-emerge in secrecy and manipulate a young Anakin Skywalker to join them. When Palpatine made the announcement of Order 66 to his Stormtroopers, the sequence of Stormtroopers killing off the Jedi and Anakin taking part in the executions is an incredible sequence as it also shows the few Jedis who would survive this purge. 3. John Wick
