The real admission needs to be that you've realized V is unbearable dreck. And seriously, First Contact (or anything with the NG crew) does not even deserve mention. TMP was an outstanding scifi film... just not very good Star Trek; it deserves recognition for being intriguing and beautiful though.

Barf. The **ONLY** good (read: not vomitously and insultingly bad) Star Trek movies are 2, 3, and 4. Khan, Search for Spock, and Voyage Home. The rest are all horrendous. First Contact is the only one of the bad ones that has *some* redeeming qualities. The latest (or as Justin S puts it, "reboot") movie is good, too. Final Frontier was the worst of the worst (not including 1, which was just a bad remake of The Changeling of course as everybody knows). Undiscovered Country was a close second-worst. Generations was embarrassingly awful. Haven't we been through these debates in facebook threads recently? :-) My personal favorite is 4 (Voyage Home). I *love* the Klingon ship uncloaking above the whaling vessel. And the "transparent aluminum". And the 20th-century earth person getting to go to the future. It's goofy but I love it. Ugh. Barf.

Being more of a TNG-era Star Trek fan, my last $$$ splurge was to but the entire "Deep Space 9" dvd set. I'm halfway through season 2 and amazed how well it holds up (and how under-appreciated that series was). Your post has inspired me to purchase the “Wrath of Khan” blu-ray.

I don't try and put them in order, Ijust appreciate them all and try not to think about the odd numbered ones. but seriously, I have told you for years now… 2, 4 and 6 are the best Star Trek movies (original cast).

I wasn't a fan of the original series either. For me, it's all about the Next Generation and Voyager. Wrath of Khan was a pretty good movie. I found the one with the whales tolerable as well. For me, the best Stark Trek movie has to be First Contact. I also really enjoyed the reboot movie from 2 summers ago.

The mindmeld scene with Leonard Nimoy and Kim Cattrall is classic. I mean...seriously...who else can make extraordinary pain look like sex better than her!?!?
