It hasn't been locked, so I'll give the question a go.
The best TOS film is a tie between II and IV. They will both always be the best Star Trek movies overall, and will never be better than each other, mostly because they are liked for being two different types of stories. Since I've said the best, I might as well mention the worst, which is TMP. I realize movie shooting wasn't the same back then, but that's no reason to have a cruddy story.

�The Undiscovered Country� was good but I'd probably go with ..."The Voyage Home"

I don't know if i could really choose. There was a time when I hated the fourth one, The Voyage Home but I've learned in recent times to appreciate it. III was ok, but couldnt be in one of the best, it would be a choose between II, IV, VI for me. And I dunno, perhaps VI? I remember always liking that one.

I'm kind of partial to VI, myself. Great cast, great story, lots of emo, yeah.

I'm torn between II and III. I'll probably go with III on this one.

Wrath of Khan... for me, it's the only good one, if we're talking about the complete original cast. The rest had an impact for me only because it was so momentous to have this world back, and to have more Trek. Now that the world has been swamped with programs called "Star Trek", the novelty has worn off.
Those movies didn't explore SF premises. They didn't explore or expand our imaginations. Instead, "Star Trek" became about Star Trek... about itself, its own history, its character's lives, and it become like a soap opera. And the actors cared less and less about the acting. It became expensive state-of-the-art melodrama.
If "Generations" can count here, that's my #2.

Agreed, but do we consider "Generations" TOS + TNG or is it exclusively TNG?
I have grown to favor it to most of the other films.

Definitely STII. I first saw it about 21 years ago, and I was amazed. The plot was great, the new characters (Saavik, of course, and then Kirk's ex-wife and son, plus Khan) were interesting, and I couldn't believe at what I was seeing when I witnessed the scene where Spock died. He had never been my favourite character, but I couldn't accept that one of the main characters was being killed, even though for noble purposes (to save the Enterprise and his crewmates).
I enjoyed every frame of that movie, and I still watch it with great relish any time I'm given the chance to.

The wait until the final season of star trek voyager
Lost now is no longer a mystery. Today ABC revealed that Lost's sixth and final season will premiere February 2, 2010. A Tuesday.
Lost will air a special one-hour recap at bones complete series
8pm on February 2, followed by the two-hour premiere, cryptically titled "LAX." The following week the show will settle into its regular time slot at 9pm.
The rest of ABC's schedule is still as mysterious as the Island, though the move to Tuesday most likely means Lost will be paired with V, Elizabeth Mitchell's new sci-fi show.
The season 6 cast is:the wire 1-5 dvd
Naveen Andrews, Nestor Carbonell, Emilie de Ravin, Michael monk dvd
Emerson, Jeff Fahey, MatthewDexter dvd boxset
Fox, Jorge Garcia, Josh Holloway, star trek voyager dvd
Daniel Dae Kim, Yunjin Kim, Ken Leong, star trek voyager complete series
Evangeline Lilly, Terry O'Quinn and Ziuleikha Entourage dvd
RobinsonAs for the rest, I'm excited to see de Ravin officially back, as promised, and expect some pretty crazy things. Given the premiere title, "LAX," it seems logical that all those theories about the bomb changing history andtwo and a half men dvd
allowing Oceanic 815 to land safely instead of crashing to the Island might just be true.
But that doesn't really explain how Islanders Like Disney dvd collection
Carbonell's Richard Alpert are series regulars.

You took the words out of my mouth. Although, the original motion picture reminded me of 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was still in people's minds at the time.
