Great thread guys. My 2 cents: 1. The Derelict (Prometheus) 2. Slave 1 (Star Wars) 3. Imperial Shuttle (Star Wars) 4. Tie Fighter (Star Wars) 5. Space Shuttle (NASA) 6. Bird of Prey (Star Trek IV) 7. Enterprise E (Star Trek TNG) 9. Transporter (Contact) 10. Spock's Ship (Star Trek Reboot) 11. Icarus II (Sunshine) Sorry, I couldn't shorten it to ten.

Wow! Nobody's mentioned the X-wings from Star Wars?!! Personal favorite BTW. I mean if you could have a ship or in this case a Starfighter is perfect, it's small enough to fit in most places ( garage or hangar) can travel faster than light and it has weapons!! Now where do a get dang R2 unit?

Ah the SR1 Normandy @ Flexer. I'm more partial to the SR2 Normandy II. If they ever get around to do a Mass Effect movie one can only hope it looks as good as Prometheus or has a great director like Sir Scott.

Yes indeed Ncc 1701 thanks, I mean the X- Wing's shape is Iconic and on another note as your moniker implies to me the best will always and forever be the Enterprise from the motion picture.

No love for the "Corsair Star Cruiser" flown by John-Boy? Maybe I'm reading too much into it....but to me its in Giger territory for "suggestiveness".... [img]http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u44/lespaul_photos/battlebeyond1.jpg[/img] And guess who worked on this movie...

I don't know if this ship has been mentioned, but I like it. The movie, Spacehunter, is well below mediocre. I saw the movie recently and cringed at Molly Ringwald's incesant whining. [img]http://teleport-city.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2001/02/spacehunter04.jpg[/img]

LOL I loved the new Trek Film and thought it was the best thing to Happen to Star Trek since the Original Series. And not just the design on a couple of the ships but I thought the story was SUPERB and the whole thing had the feel of an original T.V. series episode while still feeling like a Mega Major Motion Picture, the acting was fantastic, and the pace & ambiance of that film IMO were stellar.

I actually like Abrams' update to the Enterprise. I think of it as a souped-up muscle car version of the slightly more spindly original.
