Best Trek Movie Theme Music
Hello, first post here, and a hard one

TMP.
Goldsmith's theme for Enterprise/the movie is one of the great piece of music for the 20th Century (no, I really mean that!) It's grandiose, moving, nautical (good theme for a ship), and as they say -- has legs.
The Ilia theme has got a real punch to it: cool, sensual, and emotional.
The strange V'Ger music is appropriately alien and mechanical.
And lastly, they're still using the same Klingon music!
This is the one, baby!
"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

First Contact. The opening title music is the best Star Trek theme by a long way.
TMP a close second
He's an underprivileged skateboarding cowboy with nothing left to lose. She's a sharp-shooting goth bounty hunter who believes she is the reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian queen. They fight crime!

TMP, which was re-used in a slightly uptempo beat in the TV series TNG. It's the signature theme for Star Trek. Everybody know it.
Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

I like WoK the best. Good for playing when you're doing starship Combat (whether SFB, RPG, or PC).

I second that. The TWoK theme has energy, mixed with flowing parts that exudes hope. And, yes, it has the perfect combat music of the lot.Originally posted by Lord Kjeran

The TNG version of the TMP theme is too fast for me. I always liked the more majestic feel of the original version, but hearing the TNG theme over and over and over and-- well, you get the picture -- just takes away from the piece.

This was a tough one. I chose ST:TWOK... Although I thought TMP was a good enough movie it just didn't have the punch I wished it would have... TWOK signaled a new direction and still ranks as the best of the movies... I loved the naval sounding theme of the movie and the rest of the soundtrack was pretty darn good too. I think that's why I picked it even though I might have liked other themes as much or better as TWOK.
Of note: First Contact has one of the best themes and TMP set the pace for the Next Generation (though I thought it was kind of junk that they used the theme so much).
So maybe I can say... For the 23rd century TWOK & for the 24th century FC

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country had four captains: Kirk, Spock, Scotty, (all in one ship, Enterprise) and Sulu (Excelsior). Hehehe.
(I honestly don't know if McCoy had a captain rank.)
Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

McCoy's rank insignia indicated that he was still a Commander.

The Motion Picture. With Search for Spock coming in a close second ('cause I love that film) and First Contact coming pretty close too.

Like them all but have to go with First Contact as the best.
