Most iconic spaceships?

[Thourne]

Never saw it.

The only Tom Cruise movies I’ve seen in their entirety are Legend and Risky Business.

I dislike Cruise lots.
Having said that, Mate go watch "Edge of Tomorrow", like yesterday.

USS Enterprise (Star Trek TOS)
The Imperial Star Destroyer from Star Wars (The first movie, rebranded as "IV A New Hope")
Dauntless, from the Lensman series (written SF)

For a real-world spaceship, I'd give the Iconic first place to Eagle and its Saturn V launch vehicle.

"Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."

Ahhh, I know that ship well, from Battle Beyond The Stars!

But Roger Corman also reused a lot of footage- mostly the space ships- in other movies, like Galaxy of Terror


Space Raiders


…and supposedly others besides.

I was also fond of the original BSG Cylon Raiders

And the Buck Rogers Starfighters.

No, it’s not the “name every spaceship you can think of” thread or the “name a spaceship nobody has mentioned yet” thread. It’s the “nominate the ones you think are the most iconic spaceships” thread.

You get 3 choices. I’ll start!

USS Enterprise
TARDIS
Millennium Falcon

Red Dwarf
Space 1999 Eagle
Thunder fighter

Star Destroyer, New Hope opening scene.
Battlestar Galactica
