If one episode could be feature length?

"Balance of Terror" - Produce it similarly to TWOK, and allow the suspense to slowly build thanks to the expanded running time. Add motion picture quality battle sequences and it would work perfectly. "Yesterday's Enterprise" and "Call to Arms" would work in the same regard.
"Way of the Warrior" essentially was a movie. It could have worked.
"Year of Hell", sans reset button, would make a great movie.
More than a few people have also pointed out that "All Good Things" would have been a perfect TNG movie.

Either "Dragon's Teeth" from Voyager or "These Are The Voyages..." from Enterprise.
I know the second one is going to sound crazy but I think with an extra 45 or so minutes they could have made the episode better and with a few more tweaks like setting it on the Titan in 2379 and having Trip be killed in a conflict with the Romulans people might have actually liked it.

Favor the Bold / Sacrfice of Angels.
Case closed.
Favor the Bold actually starts off like its its own episode, with the cooky Defiant scene. There was no "last time on Star Trek Deep Space Nine." But I guess the cliffhanger is too good at the end of Favor the Bold so I don't know how they would do that.
Past Tense was a good "movie-like" two parter as well..
Redemption, In Purgatory's Shadow / By Inferno's Light would make good candidates. And All Good Things actually I have on VHS and is a fanstastic episode - movie conversion.
And although short, the Visitor is just an excellent 45 minutes of televison.

It could work if tweaked right.
I would've said Dragon's Teeth too, or more controversially I think Regeneration could've made a good feature length episode. The tension could be drawn out a bit more, maybe add a Starfleet Intelligence or Section 31 angle...
I'm betting that if it had appeared as a season 4 mini-arc, it would've got a better reception
Just a feeling.

Relics. The Dyson Sphere was just a maguffin in the forty-five minutes we got. It could have used a lot more exploring.
Can you imagine expanding Best of Both Worlds into two features...with the same ending for the first as we saw at the end of part 1? With a good year to 18 months before the next one was released people would go NUTS with anticipation...even more than we did in the summer of '87!
"Journey to Babel", with the money they spent on creating the planet Vulcan in TMP, ST III and ST IV, and updated aliens using all the makeup advances and wardrobe money that enabled the barely-glimpsed aliens in TMP and ST IV to look so cool.
Luv your DS9 picks! Those, or maybe a Call to Arms would look neat.
Best of Both Worlds. It was feature film calibre possessing all the necessary ingredients in an excellent movie--big action battles, high stakes, compelling drama with a terrifying villian. It certainly was infinitely better than FC and the Borg Queen.
Also I think the Vulcan trilogy in season four of ENT definitely had the scope and flavor of a TOS film.

See, the problem here is, so many great episodes could have been great movies, too.
That said, I think if I was to have to pick out of all the shows, which episode should have been made into a movie, I have to go with "All Good Things...". I really feel that it could have been the best of the best, the ultimate TNG film.

"The Chase"
It's amazing that such a massive story was dumped into a one-hour episode then just forgotten afterwards and never mentioned again

'The 37's'
I'm not the biggest VOY fan, though I like this episode, but this ep begs for more SCOPE!
"Does the Voyager crew settle on this planet?" Well, they'll take a look at these Fantastic Cities, but we won't show the audience anything but a sand pit...
How about more than 6 whole people on this planet, only 3 of whom speak...
How about a Voyager planetary landing that consists of more than a CG landing strut deployment, and a cloud of dust...
And make the rusty ol' truck floating in space a Japanese battle ship...
