3. Millennium Falcon
I liked the first scene in Star Wars. When the first ship started that rumble and later it was overtaken by the Star Destroyer.

Any of the Ships that Sang from Anne McCaffrey books.

The Round ships from The Doc's series.

I also like when Luke took his fighter too the different planets.

Even liked the ship from My Favorite Martians

Would not want to go exploring in a single seater just the freedom to leave.

8. I agree.
The 'Falcon just seems more like a real ship than so many others. Looks like something that's working for a living. Function first, beauty only when money permits (which never happens.)

Blue collar, hot rod spaceship.

4. NCC-1701
As presented in Star Trek:The Motion Picture

I just can't get enough of those scene where Scotty is escorting Kirk over to the newly refitted Enterprise and when she leaves dock.

11. NCC-1701/NCC-1701-A
It's the ship I fell in love with as a kid, and it will always be my favourite. There's something so dignified, stately, strong, and proud about its look. It's fantastic!

13. Cargo haulers
In some parallel universe somewhere I must be a freighter crew member. I like the Serenity (even though it looks like a side profile drawing I made of the Loch Ness monster as a kid :) ). BSG's Colonial Movers, Mineral ship and the Gemini freighter. And of course, the Millenium Falcon. Sure they don't have the flash and exciting lines, but they do have character in spades. :7
