I personally saw nothing incredibly moving about it as a movie- I saw it as more of a decent episode of the TV series, albeit a long one.
But on par with 'Kahn'? Not in my opinion. But you know what they say about opinions.

To quote Max Von Sydow from Needful Things..."Finally. A man with some sense"
First Contact was good when it first came out as a space action movie. Now...who CARES???? It had a mediocre story that suffered from the same crap that ruined the franchise: Reset button ending, socialist worldview "everything was great once we gave up all our possessions" diatribe from Picard, bad acting (Troi's drunk scene was embarassingly bad), Time Travel AGAIN, Borg becoming a paper-tiger enemy, etc etc etc.
Generations was better than FC and it was pedestrian at best.
