10 Best Ever Movie Bartenders

Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg) first appeared in the Star Trek universe on episodes of The Next Generation, but made the transition to big screen along with the rest of the crew for two of the most maligned films in the franchise. But Guinan is the bartender full of years of learned wisdom you want on an Enterprise. Those years span much longer than a human's, as Guinan is an alien who has lived lifetimes.

How wise is Guinan? It's her job to explain the absurd time rift in Generations that brought Patrick Stewart's Picard and William Shatner's Kirk some screentime. And she's not planning on stopping - just this year she accepted a personal invitation from Stewart to reprise the role on Picard.
