It's as much Star Trek as the unofficial Trek movie Galaxy Quest. Doesn't matter if the characters and universe are different, it's got the same vibe to fit in.

Galaxy Quest is the best Trek movie

Right after First Contact and The Wrath of Khan, yes.

Undiscovered Country is my favorite TOS movie, even above The Wrath of Khan.

Undiscovered Country is even better if you watch it in the original Klingon.

I can understand why. The motivations and message are a bit deeper than WoK. But UC wouldn't have happened (in the same way) without WoK first, since I don't think Kirk had the same hatred towards Klingons before. Distrust sure, but not revenge level hate.

UC also has that connection with one of the best TNG episodes, Yesterday's Enterprise.

I'd put it above all the TNG movies, too.

Good point, at worst it ranks about equally with Galaxy Quest for me ... Sigourney Weaver weights my ranking a lot though

I will agree that those two movies have the absolute best soundtracks of all the movies.
