Figured I'd get that in since I couldn't get my answer to 60 to post from work and Jon didn't drop an update after I e-mailed him the answer. Not upset about that, I'm just irritated that my work computer has no concistency of when it'll let me post. That and I found it amusing that I knew almost all of the answers only because I'm currently taking an astronomy class.
Since I missed your email, Colossus Prime (I'm on spring break so I'm being pretty lax about checking stuff - or really, doing much of anything - this week), you and Rob both get credit for 60. :b
And BigHobbit, if you meant to type 64 instead of 62 (I figure you probably did), let me know and I'll credit you four points. =)

I'm proud of that one, so I'm going to leave it up 'til somebody gets it (or the game ends).
77 = Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home...a sci-fi hit? hmmm...
Take all this for what it's worth - I just quickly cobbled it together via wikipedia and boxofficemojo, and haven't verified any of this - but apparently, Star Trek IV made almost $110 million at the US box office, making it the fifth-highest grossing film in the US in '86, and its $133 million worldwide box office take makes it the third-highest grossing film in the Star Trek franchise (behind the '09 film, which made $385 million worldwide, and just six million behind Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which made $139 million worldwide).
Star Trek IV also has an 84% rating at rottentomatoes.com (making it the third best-reviewed Trek film at rottentomatoes, behind The Wrath of Khan and the '09 film), and it was nominated for four Academy Awards - which is, unless I'm mistaken, the most Oscars a Trek film's ever been nominated for. =)
79) E.T.
And I have to agree that Star Trek IV is a sci-fi classic. If you ask any non-Trekkie what their favorite classic Trek movie is, nine times out of ten they'll say, "the one with the wales."
78-Cocoon?
