Star Trek: First Contact (1996)

The Borg, arguably the most menacing of the Next Gen villains (before Voyager turned them into clumsy halfwits), attempt to bring the Federation to its knees once and for all. Picard says, No! Not on my watch!
FC is Picard and Data's story, everyone else is just along for the ride. That suits me; those two stalwart characters are my all time favourites. It manages to be both an action movie and a Trek movie, striking a balance that previous films had failed to find. It’s a triumphant first solo outing for TNG crew.
