What was your favorite Star Trek Theatrical movie ?
Wrath would be an obvious choice, but I have a fondness for VI. Smaller scale, not too action-oriented, a bit of an Agatha Christie mystery, and great performances by a great cast.
And also, the best director for ST movies, Nick Meyer. Now that is a man who totally got Star Trek, even without being a fan.

As much as I love Khan, I saw III in the theater first, and over the years, that one has really impressed me as just a great Star Trek story. Strong parallels to "The Menagerie" doesn't hurt it either.
And I LOVE Undiscovered Country. A great send-off to the real crew of the Enterprise. Also one of the first movies my wife Cindy and I went to see together, way back in High School.
For me there is a string of them that I like to watch. Wrath of Khan is the essential Trek story for me, but it really necessitates watching Search to finalize that story. And after the heavy melodrama of those two, it's nice to decompress with Voyage. So when I'm in the mood, those are my essential fix.

I am pretty much the same. those 3 movies are really 1 long story arc and flow well together
Wrath of Khan for me, my only disappointment with that movie was the fact Kirk and Khan never meet again
for a final confrontation one on one. Search for Spock is a close second and Generations was okay, at least in that
movie we got the Trekkies dream of what if Kirk met Picard?
i will also say that First Contact was a really well made movie and is by far the best of TNG movies. Generations was like a really long episode of the series. kinda boring really. Insurrection and Nemesis were just lame, although each did have it's good moments.
I loved ST6 but by that point I really felt the actors were too old and looked silly doing the action stuff. still it was a great sendoff for the original cast and I am grateful it was made
I do have a soft spot for TMP. first Trek movie, brought back all my childhood heroes. it's a bit long winded at times but really captures the essence of what Trek was all about
I enjoy the new movies and am glad Trek is continuing but they do not have the same magic for me that the original cast movies had
The Undiscovered Country runs a close second to Wrath of Khan for me.
Interesting that no one has picked The Final Frontier as their favorite. I wonder why?
This is a well timed thread for me. I just bought the dvd collection with all six and was going to watch them again. I haven't seen them since I was a kid so I couldn't remember which ones I liked best. Interesting reading the comments.
