top ten TV/movie spaceships

[cbxsix]

I just got to thinking about this when I was looking over the "worst space movie ever" thread, and one of the movies that was mentioned was Battle Beyond the Stars. I happen to like that movie, and one of my favorite spaceships is featured in it: Nel, the ship of Zed the Corsair. So I figured it'd be an interesting thread to list the top ten favorite spaceships of everyone. I'll start; likely I'll want to go back and edit my list as people out there remember ships I forgot. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />In no specific order...<br /><br />-Millenium Falcon<br />-Nel from Battle Beyond the Stars<br />-redesigned Enterprise/Enterprise A<br />-TARDIS from Dr. Who<br />-Klingon battlecruiser<br />-Battlestar Galactica<br />-the ship from Flight of the Navigator<br />-the fighter from The Last Starfighter<br />-The Bebop and/or Spike's fighter from Cowboy Bebop<br />-The Outlaw Star<br /><br />Let the debates begin! <br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

You've got some good ones in there, but my vote must go to the Imperial Super Star Destroyer (such as Vader's flagship) in ESB / RotJ.<br /><br />Bigger IS better... <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

The Defiant is the best Trek ship by far.<br /><br />Kingon Birds of prey are seriously cool too.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#800080">"All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring.

Imperial SuperCruiser starts firing as it barely clears the wormhole. League's ships scatter in fear. SuperCruiser looks like a fatty version of Enterprise. <br /><br />Colony Wars

 

[contracommando]

Also awesome:<br /><br />The Mimbari cruisers from B5<br /><br />The Earth alliance rotating ships (ugly, but realistic).<br /><br />The White Star (even though it looked like a flying turkey).<br /><br />The Shadow vessels<br /><br />The Vorlon ambassadorial ships (the flower-like ones).<br /><br />The Enterprise D<br /><br />Voyager (even though the show sucked)<br /><br />The Reliant<br /><br />The Phone booth from “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure" (if that qualifies as a ship).<br />

 

[kdavis007]

The ships I like:<br /><br />1. Serenity from Firefly.. <br /><br />2. The Prometheus from SG1<br /><br />3. The Daedalus from SG Atlantis<br /><br />4. The Asgard ships<br /><br />5. The Gouald Pyramid ships<br /><br />6. The old and new Battlestar Galatica<br />

<br />Good old 'Jupiter 2' from 'Lost My Place,' (LOL) But how did it fly without wings???

 

[jmilsom]

Give me a tardis and day! No high gees. No weightlessness. No long periods drifting through space. Small on the outside (easy to park), but as large as you want on the inside (library, lounge, gym, swimming pool, archery range, cross-country jogging track ......). <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

The Independence day ships were good, too.
