It's a done to death thread but I don't give a shit. We all have to join The Trek BBS at some point right? I've only been on here a couple of years, I bet there's people who've been on here for a lot longer than that.
In order from top to bottom - The Motion Picture (new found appreciation), The Wrath of Khan, Nemesis (I know, I know!), the 2009 movie and Star Trek into Darkness, and The Undiscovered Country occupy the top table of Trek movies for me, then there's a second tier with The Search for Spock, The Voyage Home, First Contact and Generations, all vying for my affection.
Then there's Insurrection and the Final Frontier at the bottom.
It's a clear pecking order, but I can find enjoyment in all of them, even The Final Frontier which I consider to be far worse than even Insurrection
Bottom line is all the movies have their problems but for fans, they are a great varied series of movies that range from sombre sci-fi through adventure, comedy, action, the lot.
I love 'em.

One more time, in order:
Wrath of Khan
The Voyage Home
The Undiscovered Country
Star Trek (2009)
First Contact
The Search for Spock
Generations
Into Darkness
The Motion Picture
Insurrection
Nemesis
The Final Frontier
Granted, it gets a little iffier the further you go down the list simply because those are the movies that I've watched the least and don't know as well. (I think I've seen Nemesis and Insurrection exactly once each, way back when they were first released.)

The Wrath of Khan (just love this film, lots of awesome things emerged in 1982 
)
First Contact (Borg being bad-ass, before VOY got its hands on them)
The Undiscovered Country (love the political tensions in it)
The Motion Picture (an intelligent Trek film plot, one that it truly about exploration)
Generations (skip past the Nexus bit and its far more watchable)
The Voyage Home (the humour never feels that humorous to me)
The Search For Spock (had Kirsty Alley been in it it'd probably be higher)
Insurrection (some very cringy moments, the Son'a ships are pretty cool though)
Nemesis (very weak send-off for the TNG crew, shame)
Star Trek (solidly 'meh')
The Final Frontier (Shatner directs...need I say more)
Into Darkness (...*)
*Translation: If you can't say anything nice, say nothing at all

Wish I'd done that. What has been seen cannot be unseen.
It's what we're here for, after all
I recently revised my order:
The Wrath of Khan - back on top, baby!
The Final Frontier - a mess, but some loveable moments & a general fun feel.
Generations - good for what it is, lots to enjoy.
Nemesis - interesting & enjoyable; final showdown = great opportunity for bathroom break.
The Search for Spock - a bit slow & stiff, but lots of good things too.
First Contact - not as great as I used to think, still entertaining.
The Voyage Home - the comedy has palled over the years.
The Motion Picture - SSSSSLLLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWWW.
The Undiscovered Country - races downhill after a good start.
Insurrection - almost unwatchable.
I don't count the NuTrek films - I did like ST09, but they feel like a different thing.
It varies, especially in the lower section, but today it is:
- TWOK (theatrical cut)
- TMP (theatrical cut)
- STXI
- STID
- TVH
- TSFS
- TUC
- FC
- STV
- GEN
- INS
- NEM
And you didn't in any way upset me - I was actually agreeing with you, and quite enjoy a quick ranking session. I'm pretty sure I started a 'best movie' thread when I first joined.
It's the law.
Yeah, in general this board seems to frown upon resurrecting old threads, so I think you're good. Besides, very few Trek fans would pass up the opportunity to do a ranking of...well, just about anything.
Welcome to the boards!
