Yes
Mine is The Wrath Of Khan with Ricardo Montalban being brilliant as the man with a grudge and Kirk watching Spock die in the warp drive chamber (the lip wobble when Kirk said "Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the . . . * lip tremble * . . . human".

While I'm here, I just think the recent Star Trek "reboots" are just bloody awful. Who was the blithering idiot thought it was a good idea to let J J Abrams anywhere near it, never mind be the writer and director? Although that said, the last one "Beyond" was actually an improvement - but that was only because Simon Pegg - being a Trekker himself - had a hand in it with the writing.
 
I've never been a massive fan of star trek but being a Sci-fi fan, I've seen them all. ( I think)
In their day the ones with William Shatner & Leonard Nimoy were good, The last couple got a bit silly I thought though.
The "Motion picture" being the best of the bunch IMO

The later ones with Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto are OK too they bring things up to date.
The first being my favourite of the 3.
But of course the "Die hard" fans, probably think they are silly too.

I seem to have totally missed all the Picard ones.
 
I've enjoyed them all except The Final Frontier, which was a pile of manure.

Cue the how many ears does Spock have, joke :D
 
(goes to look at DVD collection)

The Motion Picture was probably my fave, mostly because it's like an extended TV show with more freedom in the effects. Wrath of Khan was definitiely good too, although that lined things up for the tedious Search For Spock and therefore loses a few points. Silliest one was First Contact, which is like Star Trek without a Star Trek story.

Re TNG and the recent reboot, they sit in a universe that is 'not Star Trek' and are enjoyable in their own right, but not as a continuation of the original series. TNG has a completely different set of cultural values that it almost constantly preaches, and the reboot deliberately broke the original universe so it could do its own thing.

FWIW I have really enjoed the youtube videos of TNG comicon appearances, especially Marina Sirtis who is an absolute Lundun Gell and completely not Deanna Troi in real life.
