In terms of that TNG film list I'd  have

1. First Contact

2. Nemesis

3. Insurrection

4. Generations 

But they are all pretty much missable.

Nemesis is much under-rated in my book due to the media deciding that Star Trek wasn't hip any more.

It's practically the same film as Star Trek (2009) and is no less derivative of TWOK than STID is.

First Contact is basically a remake of Aliens (with Picard as Ripley and Data as Newt) which is itself a remake of THEM!

The characters are very off and it further diminished the menace of the Borg by given them a personal voice in the shape of the Cybercontroller... eh... Queen.

Seeing as the Borg were lifted straight out of Doctor Who they should have learned from the later Davros stories that scary impersonal aliens become less scary when they have a mouth piece.

They kept trying to separate the Daleks from their creator but people just came to see him as their leader.

Here it's worse. The Queen is the Borg, the Borg are the Queen and she gives data a blowjob.
