Mine would be
#1. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
I love this movie because its really the beginning of a tight 3 episode series of movies. It has excellent space combat scenes and very memorable quotes. I remember watching this as a kid and being totally shocked to see Spock die at the end......it caused a HUGE uproar for ST fans. One thing I really disliked about this movie was the fact you had no idea who Khan was unless you watched the series.
#2. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)
It was something very different with most of it being back at Earth vs in space. This is hard for me to justify being in #2 but I just seem to like it. The fact that they fly around in a stolen Bird of Prey is probably helping some. I also love that they dedicated this movie to the Challenger astronauts. It was a nice gesture. One thing I really hate about this movie though is the whole save the animals theme.
#3. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)
Cant stress how stoked I was to see Spock come back and how it was going to happen. I was totally excited to see Klingons as the antagonist, that just says watch me because I contain space battles. Also, it wrapped up the Genesis storyline which I was always curious about what happened to the planet. The thing I disliked about this movie was the pace of it. It seemed slow when not concerning Kirk and the crew.
