I did a quick tabulation of the 19 responses so far. Points were awarded 10-0 (10=best/0=worst); So out of 190 possible points, the results are as follows...
#1 ST-TWOK: 162
#2 ST-XI: 148
#3 ST-TUC: 146
#4 ST-FC: 128
#5 ST-TVH: 120
#6 ST-GEN: 81
#7 ST-TSFS: 78
#8 ST-TMP: 63
#9 ST-INS: 50
#10 ST-TFF: 41
#11 ST-NEM: 28
I'm not surprised at all with TWOKs ranking and conversely NEMs. The new movie seems to be faring pretty well. I would have expected FC to beat TUC, but it seems to be trailing by quite a few points.

Star Trek was a great film - in raw terms of high class blockbuster entertainment, it blows all of the others away. The action, effects and acting were top notch, and there were good, honest tributes to the TOS cast and Star Trek that I loved. Did it feel like a Star Trek film though? I think it lacks in that department in a similar way that First Contact did, as good as that film was too.
I rank them something like this at the moment:
1. The Wrath of Khan 5/5
2. The Undiscovered Country 4/5
3. The Motion Picture 4/5
4. Star Trek 4/5
5. First Contact 3.5/5
6. The Voyage Home 3/5
7. Generations 2.5/5
8. The Search For Spock 2.5/5
9. Insurrection 2/5
10. The Final Frontier 1.5/5
11. Nemesis 1.5/5

I'm kinda surprised by my ranking, because unlike the apparent majority around here, I LIKE Nemesis. So the fact it's at #9 doesn't mean I don't like it.
While I may have many issues with Final Frontier - and at the time of its debut was incredibly disappointed by it - I have found things to like about it now. But in the ranks of Trek movies, it's a poor film, and in the ranks of movies in general, it's rather bad.

Oh no I have to convert!!
Star Trek: The Motion Picture-B-:
The rating is for the DE only. STNG TV show did a better version of this movie: "Tin Man"
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan-A:
The best movie for 27 years until 2009! Themes about aging, family, new life-hope, with a good dose of action. Still contains SF's best battle scene.
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock-B-:
Underrated. Somewhat cheap looking but with many of the series best character moments...genuine ones, unlike the disaster of STV.
The Voyage Home: Star Trek IV-B+:
Pure joy, still possibly my best time with an audience at a theater. Some of the wittiest dialogue of the series. Slightly bigger scale than most of the previous efforts.
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier-F-:
I've talked at length about this movie so I won't bother. Luckily, STNG saved the franchise in 1989..."Q,Who" came out around this time.
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country-C+:
Good intentions, somewhat hammer-fisted. Some good moments but overly ambitious. It fails to be an epic finale for the TOS movie adventures. Lacks scope. Filmed in Super35...ugh!
Star Trek Generations-C-:
More plot holes than any other ST movie. Not a great start to the STNG movie series.
Star Trek First Contact-A-:
Imperfect and convoluted but enjoyable movie. Fine acting, and STNG's best film. ST Voyager actually produced a better Borg story in Scorpion I and II. I would have rather seen that on the big screen.
Star Trek Insurrection-C-:
Not a bad film, just not very energetic or interesting.
Star Trek Nemesis-B-:
Now that was more like it. The most cinematic ST movie since STTMP! Oh sure, its not a great movie, but there's a lot going on and it finally felt like the STNG cast acclimated to action-adventure 100%.
Star Trek (2009) A+:
YES! A home run, a bullseye, direct hit!! A smashing blockbuster success! The most cinematic, the most dense, most energetic, fully realized, rich, fun, rousing, professionally made MOVIE of all of ST. Re-watchable with almost every sequence creating a lasting impression. The best "teaser", best beginning credit sequences, the best Special FX, the best sound, best ending credits!
