I have yet to find a format that I really like, but the basics that you need are:
- title of picture - running time - print number - format (16mm/35mm/70mm/Beta/Dbeta/HDCAM/other) - number of reels/tapes - aspect ratio - sound format(s) (silent/mono/A/SR/SRD/DTS/SDDS) (silver/high magenta/cyan) - fader setting for your theatre - frame rate (silent films only) - subtitles (yes/no) if yes, what type (laser/printed) - opening image (with/without sound) - end image (cuts to black/fades to black/scrolls to black) - type of cues (lab/Clint Phare/temporary) - overall condition - any damage as received (missing heads/tails, bad splices, damaged perfs, scratches, missing footage, etc.)
I have also found it useful to have a line for each reel, where I fill in a description of the scene immediately prior to the motor cue, as well as the number of frames of picture between the changeover cue and the last frame of picture.

quote: - type of cues (lab/Clint Phare/temporary)
If you're running changeovers you also need the actual position of each cue - x frames early/late, if it's not in the correct place, which is quite likely, also need to record if any frames are missing from the leader.
Edit.
Sorry Scott, I missed the bit where you wrote:

It's also quite common for the motor cue to be in the wrong place; it's more often wrong than right if it's a hand-made cue, but it's not unusual for even lab cues to be out. Also, any missing frames at the end of the print will affect the effective position of both cues of course. Not to mention frames missing between the cues - I once had a print with 4 (I think) splices between the cues, and frames missing at all of them.
Then there's the problem of multiple sets of cues on a reel, and identifying which should be used.
