Nice list.  I'll try to keep pace.

5. Leonard Cohen - A sort of kind but world weary God.  Who would be more world weary than the guy who was around longer than the world?
4. Bill Murray - If you want a comical god.  Though his characters can often be sarcastic and caustic, he is incredibly magnetic, and I think of all the great comedians, he might be the most suited to someone who just loves the world (also, if they ever did an American Doctor Who, Murray in his prime would have been perfect.)
3. James Earl Jones
2. Christopher Lee - Also the Devil, but he would do well as both.
1. Orson Welles - When he wasn't a drunken ass.

Let's see... Top 5 Underrated Star Trek Villains.

Johnny Unusual

5. The Borg (this might seem counter-intuitive since they seem to be overrated, but they are so overrated that everyone is aware of it and forget when they first showed up they were terrified.  And while I really enjoyed First Contact, the "Borg Queen" was a monumentally stupid idea that took away what was so good about them)
4. The "conspiracy" parasites.  It's not like Star Trek to use gore but HOLY FUCK.  One of the more memorable moments in a weak first season.
3. Space Liberace from Squire of Gothos.  Yeah, there is a silly dues ex machina ending, and in the original Trek, God as a playful jerk is a dime a dozen, but this guy was funny and unrepentantly silly.
2. Harry Mudd.  Not so much a villain as a trouble maker, but still, he was fun and I think he had chemistry with the rest of the cast.
1. NOMAD.  Forget Kahn, I would have much rather seen him as the big villain of the last Trek movie.

Pak-Man

You forgot to throw out a new one.

Next: Top 5 Body Parts you could stand to lose if you had to.
1: An eye - In order to gain the wisdom of the ages.
2: An ear - chicks dig those as love tokens.
3: My right hand - It's not the important one.
4: My hair, all of it (except eye-lashes they're too long and pretty to give up) - I like the smooth look.
5: My wisdom teeth - think they'd make cool cufflinks.

Next: Top five apps you wish existed.

Johnny Unusual

5. This isn't an app, but how come no one has made a smart phone that looks like Ziggy from Quantum Leap (And yes, I know that wasn't actually Ziggy, but a communicator to talk to a guy named Ziggy.  I don't care.)  Oh, wait, an app that puts Scott Bakula into anything you watch.
4. Kyle MacLaughlin as an entity that lives on my phone.
3. An app that is a black book to all the "cool stuff I got to show people" that works from the internet, your music player and your photo albums.  That minute of fiddling can be a pain.
2. Something that guarantees your friend will enjoy the movie or TV show you are watching together.
1. Something that shows cool random videos from the internet.  Not necessarily the popular ones, just oddities and interesting ones.  Makes you feel like you aren't one of the last people to find something cool.

You forgot to add the next challenge again, man. ;)

Top Five Underdog Films. Meaning, five movies YOU think are great while most people would not consider to be exceptional or superior. Not BAD, just not generally accepted as exceptional. Underrated I guess is another word for it.

Johnny Unusual

#295
Movies that I like that most people don't care for?
5. The Man Who Knew Too Little - Storywise and directing, this film isn't so good, but Bill Murray almost single-handedly saves it.  Almost.
4. P2 - Between this and Piranha 3D, I realized that I needed to reassess Alexandre Aja.  This isn't the most original movie, but this was a surprisingly fun horror thriller.
Spoiler
3. Hostel - Another movie I didn't expect to like as much as I did.  I know it has it's fans, but I think a lot of people just like it as a gore movie.  I find the gore stuff hard to watch, but otherwise it is actually kind of fun and while there's nothing mind-blowing, it does take a few twists I didn't expect.  I remember a good argument on the podcast Battleship Pretension where one of the co-hosts and the guest were arguing whether it was a good movie or a bad one.  The argument was sort of like the Seinfeld argument about Newman. "I think there's more to him than people think." "No, there's less."  I kind of agree with both, in a way.  It is largely shallow, but I think it is using smart ideas, such as how outsider tourists can take advantage of a culture (the guest thought that the message was more akin to "don't trust foreigners.")
2. Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey - I think most people have come around on this one, but it is a crazy, insane, fun movie.
1. Pootie Tang - Flawed and mocked even by the stars, but this movie has some GREAT comedy moments.
