Don't make me swim to your house and force you to watch The Undiscovered Country and First Contact... 

First Contact was okay except for the total retconning of Zephram Cochrane. Final Frontier was by far the suckiest Trek movie. I almost walked out after the campfire scene and I almost vomitted after the Uhura dance on the sand dune. It took me a long time to forgive Shat that piece of sh!t. However, it did amuse me when Kirk argued with God. The two biggest egos in the universe (other than Star) having it out- classic!

what does God need with a starship?
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

I actually think First Contact and Voyage Home (IV) are the best ones. Undiscovered Country and WOK would be 4 and 3, respectively.
First Contact will always be my favorite, with The Voyage Home (VI) and Wrath of Khan (II) rounding out my top three.  Those three films are the ones I consider to be truly good. 

I found The Search for Spock (III) and The Voyage Home (IV) to both be fairly decent; they're #4 & 5 on my list, respectively.  (Heck, the former is worth watching just for the scene(s) where Kirk & crew conspire to steal the Enterprise; the scene where Sarek mind-melds with Kirk is pretty moving as well.) 

Generations and Insurrection are decidedly "meh".

you liked the whale movie!?


Hey I liked it too!  Environmental pontificating aside (which was annoying, yes), it was the funniest film out of the lot.

Then clearly you have not seen either the first or last movie (The Motion Picture and Nemesis). 

At least The Final Frontier has some elements of "so bad it's good", making it a guilty pleasure to watch.  In contrast, TMP and Nemesis are simply terrible, and have no redeeming value whatsoever.

Sure did! It was full of great scenes like Checkov looking for the 'Nuclear Wessels' and Scotty trying to talk to the 1980's era computer using the mouse for a microphone. Or the scene where they scare off the whalers by decloaking right over their boat or classic lines like "Are you from space?" No, I'm from Iowa. I work in space." And many more...

Good stuff :)

I've seen them all. Nemesis was terrible, but it didn't have Spock singing 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat' and it didn't have a fat Kirk free climbing El Capitan.  :o

TMP needed to be heavily edited and run about an hour shorter, but it did have elements of serious sci-fi to it. I liked Kirk's obsession with getting the Enterprise back and his rivalry with Decker (which tied in nicely to the original series episode "Doomsday Machine" with Commodore Decker).

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
