Some interesting ships in here (i had to Google a couple). Notable missing for me is "The Event Horizon"
Man, I think I have every movie in that list; marathon time!
My favourite spaceship is Discovery from 2001 it was my favourite when I was a little kid and it's my favourite now :)
That is a hard list to make.. They made good picks but there are so many other interesting ones that come to mind.
The Lex
Maya? from Farscape
As well as some others.
I kinda liked Serenity from Firefly. A ship with character. :D

What about its sorta-predecessor, the tiny little "ship" known as the "Valley Forge (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067756/photosites)"? ;)

Actually, the
Valley Forge from Silent Running would have been seen in 1972 whereas
Discovery was seen in 1968. Oddly enough, parts of the
Valley Forge model eventually became the ark in
Starlost.

THANK YOU. *smacks forehead* That's what I was thinking, got my ancient-sci-fi movie/TVshow connections all mixed up :)
What, no Viper from BG? Afterburners in space FTW! pewpewpew

The original Vipers and Basestars kicked ass, I always liked the zoom in on the three button joystick, any spaceship that has "FIRE" next to "TURBO" is good in my books...

Actually, one of my other favourites is the "flying saucer" Leslie Neilson is the captain of in
Forbidden Planet (which is being re-released this week).

Speaking of "The Starlost"... Ever heard of Earth Star Voyager (http://boards.imdb.com/title/tt0095077/)?
IMDB forums: similarities? (http://boards.imdb.com/title/tt0095077/board/nest/60749047?d=69046756#69046756)

No, I haven't. But that poster you linked to has his head firmly lodged in his posterior. The cool part about Starlost was
precisely that aspect of a journey through something inconceivable (a massive space ship).
Earth Star Voyager, to me, sounds like something that might have been interesting had
TNG never existed.
