best non trekkie movie featuring trek members?

Westworld (written and directed by Michael Crichton) featured Majel Barrett as the robot madam and also Alan Oppenheimer, who's had roles in VOY, DS9, and TNG.

Soylent Green may well be the winner...it featured Brock Peters (Sisko's dad, also Adm. Cartwright from TVH & TUC), Celia Lovsky (T'Pau from "Amok Time") and Whit Bissell (Lurry from "...Tribbles"). Also Leigh Taylor-Young (appeared on DS9), Robert Ito (appeared on TNG and VOY) and Roy Jensen (Cloud William from "The Omega Glory") and Morgan Farley (who was in "The Omega Glory" and "Return of the Archons").


Brock Peters, Whit Bissell and Leigh Taylor-Young were also together in Soylent Green.

I'd also like to add:
12 Monkeys (with Christopher Plummer)
Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (with Ricardo Montalban)
A Clockwork Orange (with Malcolm McDowell)
I'm Not There (with Bruce Greenwood)
The Mist (with William Sadler)
Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz (with Simon Pegg)
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (with Christopher Lloyd)
Nixon (with Robert Beltran)
W. (with James Cromwell)
Conspiracy Theory (with Patrick Stewart)
The Dark Knight (with Tommy Lister)
Ali (with Michael Dorn and LeVar Burton)

American History X-Avery Brooks was outstanding
Independence Day-Brent Spiner was as funny as ever
 
TIME AFTER TIME starring Malcolm McDowell and David Warner and directed by Nicholas Meyer. (Also Ray Reinhardt who had roles in TNG and VOY.)
 
Reign Of Fire with Alexander Siddig (Bashir from DS9) and Alice Krige (Borg Queen from First Contact and Voyager).
 
I'll give a shout-out to Free Enterprise, although that has Star Trek written all over it, even if it's not a "Star Trek movie."

Malcolm McDowell has certainly been in a number of excellent films, as has David Warner. Besides appearing together in "Time After Time" (already mentioned), I'll point out Warner's uncredited (but important) role in Peckinpah's "Straw Dogs."
 
Wow, that's quite the range of movies. ...for purely the best movie of the ones mentioned I'd have to say M*A*S*H.

But I'd like to add 2 that have slipped through:

The Big Sleep
The Maltese Falcon

...via Elisha Cook, Jr. :D

Nice. :techman:

He was in The Killing, too.

I love this line from Cook's imdb.com biography:

He lived in his later years in the desert near Bishop, California, far from Hollywood, without an agent, working whenever someone took the trouble to track him down.
 
I just rented "A Lobster Tale" last night specifically because Colm Meaney was the star. By no means is this one of the best films with a Trek alum but its a nice low key story about every day life as a honest fisherman and has some sci-fi type stuff in it as well with some magic moss. Just wanted to add it to the list of movies.
 
talking of Colm Meany, is it ok to suggest Titanic 2?

or Kirsten Dust in the first 3 Spiderman films?
