I'm not gonna vote here yet, I wanna re-watch the movies to refresh my memory first, but my top three are as follows:
(not in order) Wrath of Khan, The Voyage Home, Star Trek (2009).

I've not actually seen many of the series, but I have to go with Star Trek '09.
At first I thought "Man... this'll be as bad as the Dragonball Movie" but I was terribly mistaken. The actors did great, and the writers managed to prevent turning it into a terrible "all-action" shell of a movie like so many other new-age remakes.
I was quite pleased with the cast, too. Simon Pegg did a great job as Scotty, especially with the fake accent. :P

The Wrath of Khan, mostly because it gives me the excuse to yell KHANNN when I watch it. The new movie is also a fav of mine, it was really well done, and it was lol.

definitely a great one. i was watching spaceseed the other night and thinking about that, khan is quite the charmer.

the other day i re-watched a lot of the TOS movies, and i must say, my fav. is still TNG's first contact. the tng movies didn't fair all that well, but this one was actually very good, didn't feel like an extended episode, and had some great dialogue and cuts. tng at its best.

First Contact was a pretty good movie, actually. And, again, it was my first ever Star Trek Movie. XD I saw it on Channel 4 YEARS ago... ahh, the good old days.
Still isn't my favourite, but definitely high up there.

TNG is really a television series, didn't translate well to the big screen. their two part episodes were often of around the same caliber story-wise of something like insurrection. (but with a far lesser budget) first contact had real movie story quality, and nemesis was a movie, but the story left a lot to be desired. i have a soft spot for the voyage home, also. the only movie i truly didn't like was the search for spock, i couldn't watch that more than once. the rest had their strengths and their weaknesses alike.

Mou, we need more voters!

It's hard for me to pick a favorite. I'm enough of a Trek goober that I like nearly anything they slap a Star Trek label on, except for a choice few individual episodes, here and there. Oh, and the Motion Picture. To date, I've tried to watch the Motion Picture three times in my life, and even when I was trying hard, I was never able to stay awake all the way through it. Not once. I try to pretend it didn't happen and just start with The Wrath of Khan ^^;;

I had to go with the Voyage Home, though First Contact runs a close second. Then most of the rest of them would be tied, except for The Motion Picture, and Nemesis. (All it needed was a light saber, and it would have made a better Star Wars movie. Feh.)

The Voyage Home probably doesn't really stand out as a quintesscential example of an excellent Star Trek movie, but I have a lot of fond memories of it, and I think it has the best score of any of them, by far (particularly "Home Again", the ending credits theme).

I really should have made two polls, one for TNG and one for TOS.
Oh well. I think I'm finally gonna have to vote.
I'm gonna go with The Wrath of Khan. In reality I probably would watch many of the others more often, but I just wouldn't be able to vote for any of the other movies. Khan really is epic.
As epic as the motion picture is fail(And that means some serious epicness).

Oh yeah, and my favorite TNG movies are First Contact(really the only "good" one actually)and I also have a certain affection for Generations. I know, the movie stinks, but I think of it as non-canon, and therefore enjoy it in all its sillyness.

Agreed, First Contact is perhaps the only worthwhile TNG movie, but why not consider Generations canon?

the people who used to do MST3K have a commentary track that you can get and watch along with it like MST3K.
