Only ever saw this Romulan de-cloak once, it dwarfed the Enterprise, and one from DS9
DS9
The Elysium and a Vorlon ship
and this one
One nobody has mentioned (true, it's from TV, not a movie):
This shuttlecraft is from the Star Trek: Animated episode "The Slaver Weapon," written by SF writer Larry Niven from his own short story of a few years before. If you haven't seen this episode, it is well worth your time -- one of two that the animated show did (along with "Yesteryear") that are up to the top standard of Trek.
(The others were okay, kind of like "The Apple" or some of the other more lackluster ST episodes. Adult Trek, not kiddie stuff, but not outstanding stories.)

I always thought it looked interesting, but that it would be hard to maneuver -- like a very long wheelbase car instead of an MG.Eagle One from Moonbase Alpha.
TB-1 Flapper...

Spaceballs, Spaceball One, AKA Mega Maid...
1) The ship from nearly "the first movie ever made" which hits the Moon in the eye.
2) The popping, smoking, sparkler spewing ship from those horrid Flash Gordon episodes from the '40's. So bad it was good.
3) The ship in "Crusade". The short lived series (15 years ago?) where the crew had 5 years to find a cure to save Earth.
4) The PanAm ship in 2001: A Space Odyssey
5) The LEM from the Apollo missions. Include the Orbiting module if need be....HAD to have been used in a movie somewhere.
6) HONORABLE MENTION: The spaceship made of 2 pie plates Metromedia TV used in making the "Telstar video" (1962). Sooo lame it was good.
UncleDave: The cross section of the 251 Tachi omitted the Gift Shop.
