Nerd day?

As I've told some people already, I have acquired the "Star Trek: Original Motion Picture Collection". For those that are Trek-less, or that only recognize the J.J. Abrams film simply titled "Star Trek", what the ST:OMP Collection contains is Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, plus about 2.5 hours of bonus features--all totaling 14 hours. However, this does mean that I'm still 4 movies short of having the entire Star Trek Movie Collection--Star Trek (VII--they stopped numbering after The Undiscovered Country): Generations, Star Trek (VIII): First Contact, Star Trek (IX): Insurrection, and Star Trek (X): Nemesis.

Anyway, on to the title of this post. Since I now have 7 of the 11 Star Trek films, I have been thinking about having a "Nerd Day" where I invite people over and we watch all of them in succession. However, I am debating whether or not I should obtain Star Trek: The Next Generation Motion Picture Collection first--which would mean that the wait would be indeterminate. I'm also not sure there would be much of a demand to see all the films, with or without those four. Of course, having people over to watch movies would also require me to do some cleaning, so that may be the biggest obstacle. Another issue that would be raised if the Next Generation films aren't obtained would be the decision on whether or not to view the J.J. Abrams film--since by the prime timeline, these four occur before Spock fails to save Romulus. I'll have to think more about these matters--and possibly seek some advice.
