Best star Trek (Kirk era) movie?

[Deja Q]

(I meant to call it "Star Trek Babies", ala "Muppet Babies", but "Star Trek 90210" is more accessible...)

[Alexander]

1. Star Trek II, for one reason:

[Radical Activist]

9. Yep.

The search for Spock is my second pick.

[TZ]

2. I voted Wrath of Khan...

But the Voyage Home is a close second...

[rcrush]

3. 2 and 6.

Final. No argument.

[Deja Q]

4. I promise not to argue.

2 and 6 are by far my faves too.

[rcrush]

6. 2 is my number 1 fave though.

I still get weapy when Spock dies.

[Orrex]

8. Six was very good, with a few reservations

There are several IMO terrible moments. Still, it follows close behind The Wrath of Khan, so I won't quibble.

[DarkTirade]

18. 2nded.

I voted for 6 though, 'cause it seems to be sadly lacking votes. :)

[Tom Kitten]

5. even numbered ones

II, IV, and VI, in that order.

[rcrush]

7. Spocks death scene makes you cry.

And you know it.

[Odin2005]

10. No Contest: KAAAHHHHN!!!!

[Canuckistanian]

11. Personal fave - The Search for Spock

But my 12 year old son likes Generations.

(Psst- I'm getting him TNG Season 4 for Xmas)

[CatholicEdHead]

12. II, then VI, then III, then IV, then I, then V

[KamaAina]

13. The one where Kirk has a rug

oh, wait, that doesn't narrow it down much...

[Bucky]

14. If you treat the show "Star Trek: Enterprise" as one big 96 hour long prequel...

the answer would still be Wrath of Khan.

[Orsino]

15. Wrath of Khan rocks.

It pulls out pretty much all the stops, and is unabashedly over-the-top. With Kirk and Khan onscreen, even duralinium-plated scenery has teeth marks.

[leeroysphitz]

16. ST V should be REDACTED. All copies rounded up and destroyed.

All references to it ought to be ERASED. Star Trek VI through X should have their titles amended to reflect the revised numbering.

The masters should either be destroyed with fire or encased in a block of solid Lucite as a reminder of how NOT to make a movie.

ETA: I have spoken.

17. The Undiscovered Country

Always my favorite:

SPOCK - Two months ago a Federation Starship monitored an explosion on the Klingon moon Praxis. We believe it was caused by over mining and insufficient safety precautions. The moon's decimation means an almost eighty percent loss of available energy and a deadly pollution of their ozone. Due to their large military expenditures, the Klingon economy is in a very weakened condition. They do not have sufficient resources to manufacture air shelters in large enough quantities to sustain anything like their current population. Last month - at the behest of the, uh, Vulcan Ambassador - I opened a dialogue with Gorkon, Chancellor of the Klingon High Council. He proposes to commence negotiations at once.

ADMIRAL DONALD - Negotiations for what?

SPOCK - The dismantling of our space stations and star bases along the Neutral Zone, an end to seventy years of unremitting hostility - a hostility the Klingons can no longer afford.


Audible mutterings. PAN the crew. Is the war over?

SPOCK - If the Klingons sue for peace, we could accumulate savings in defense expenditures, leaving the Federation economy free to grapple with urgent social problems...

...

KIRK - I know your father's the Vulcan Ambassador for heaven's sake, but you know how I feel about this: they're animals.

SPOCK - Jim, there is an historic opportunity here

KIRK - DON'T TRUST THEM. DON'T BELIEVE THEM

SPOCK - They're dying.

KIRK - LET THEM DIE.

21. A fantastic movie.

[Ptah]

19. Other

[edbermac]

20. Khan and the whales are my top 2.

#5 was the worst of the bunch

[Danger Mouse]

22. 2, 6, and 7, are my favorites.

[Sebastian Doyle]

23. Re-mix of the Star Trek IV bus scene

Even Kirk and Spock hate this fucking song.....

[Broken_Hero]

24. faulty poll

I consider part II and III to be the same flick...both are a continuation of the same issue....

So, I must go...Other...
