Most iconic spaceships?

[Morrus]

It is the ship Flash Gordon uses

Ah, now Flash Gordon is iconic! His ship… that I don’t even remember!

Ah, now Flash Gordon is iconic! His ship… that I don’t even remember!

Just close your eyes and imagine the sound of an electric razor, It will come to you

 

[J.Quondam]

Flash
Ah-ah
He'll save every one of us...

(Dammit. Now that song's gonna be looping in my head for the next 24 hours.)

I was flip-flopping over Valley Forge or the saucer from "The Day the Earth Stood Still", but realized the latter would just be it being my favourite movie speaking.

If I were going with a saucer it'd be the one from Forbidden Planet.

My first two were easy:

Enterprise
X-Wing

For third I had to think a little more, but I think the classic "flying saucer" which you can take whichever version of you want because it's seen across a range of media.

Count yourself lucky. After thinking about remakes of classic works featuring flying saucers I leapt to Lost in Space, and immediately got the movie's version of the theme song stuck in my head.

If I were going with a saucer it'd be the one from Forbidden Planet.

My second all time favourite movie.

I got enough feeling of the olds explaining to my niece what Deborah Harry meant in the Blondie song by "Hanging on the telephone."

I guess these days they're more used to being left hanging on the text.

You leave me ghoooosted on the Deeeee-eeeee-emmmms!

You think the average person on the street worldwide knows the Vindicator or Yamamoto?

A lot more people worldwide are going to recognize Space Battleship Yamato than TARDIS, that's for sure. I'm not sure that North Americans appreciate how iconic it is. On the other hand, Star Wars and Star Trek? Probably not as big as you think, outside the English-speaking world.
