I wouldn't say  the TNG movies are bad but only first contact is great

There are elements of Generations that are pretty good, but I'd argue it's main failing derives from its third act. It never quite gets over what to do with the Nexus, and how to convincingly have Picard decide to get out, and then descends into a simple punch-up involving 3 old men. That they have Guinan announce that the heroes can return to any time they wish only makes Picard look awful, since returning to much earlier in the movie/story (as RedLetterMedia points out) would have saved lots of suffering and the destruction of the Enterprise.

A few months ago, I would have said that the movie marks a turning point in the way that Trek movies were made; in the sense that consistency with the show is thrown out in favour of explosions and whatever the story requires (film Picard is different to TV Picard for instance). But having seen about 30 episodes or so of the TOS, it seems that none of the movies really capture the exact feeling and are consistent with the characters as they appear on the TV shows. I can understand the move to cinema changing the style of the filmmaking, and the story becoming grander in scale/scope, but it seems that the characters are rewritten to fit that grander story rather than the story being written to fit the characters.

Good choices all, PorridgeGun.

I ried watching BB once, I got about halfway through and nothing had actually happened, and I turned it off to take care of something or other, and have never had any drive to go back and finish it. Although everyone keeps saying how weird and messed up it is, but I got like halfway in and didn't see any of that, so I'm a little confused.

I've been wanting to check that one out for forever. Thanks for the reminder!
