The Event Horizon is great. So are the others that immediately come to mind. What's your favorite forgotten/lesser known ship. Here's the Cygnus from The Black Hole.

The GunStar from The Last Starfighter blew me away as a kid. Pretty good CG for the era as well, but the design felt sleek and believable.

I've always loved the Vipers from BattleStar Galactica as well as the Veritech from Macross (well... robotech since that's what it was called here when I was a kid lol) but I feel like those are both pretty mainstream now?

Always liked the Thunderfighter from Buck Rogers and his frienemy, Hawk's, fighter.

The morphing ship from Flight of the Navigator was pretty cool. In that same era, the bubble ship from Explorers was pretty awesome concept.

Do personal vehicles count? I always wanted to have a Light Cycle from tron. I loved that they just turned it on and their disk became the steering and it just formed around them. Plus it was cool af. The Cylcone from Macross / Robotech was pretty cool in that same vein.

Moya from Farscape. She's a biological ship, and the writers did an amazing job giving her a personality and exploring her lifecycle, including having children. She becomes one of the main characters as the series evolves.

The Eagles from Space:1999 as others have mentioned, and also the Liberator from Blake's Seven.

Without question it’s Serenity from Firefly. I know Firefly is relatively well known on the internet, but in general I’d say it’s off the beaten path. That ship is my friend.

So many good ones named, but I'm going to go with

  1. The Hammerhead from "Space: Above & Beyond"

  2. Any/all of the fighter ships from the video game series "Wing Commander"

  3. How come nobody's mentioned the fantastic Eagle Transporter System from Space-1999??????

Hello presumable fellow child-to-teen in the mid-90s. I will always upvote references to Space: Above and Beyond or Wing Commander.
