Bojack Unbound. It can actually fit into the canon storyline even if it’s non-canon, Bojack is an original villain unlike every other Movie Villain that’s a rip off of the Manga villains, and Gohan defeats the Movie villain instead of Goku for once (even if Goku helped).

Seriously, though, I'm on board with Bojack Unbound. It's a solid movie that fits into the main story arc and is the last real time Gohan is portrayed as anything but a joke.

My favourite ones are:
Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone (1989)
Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest (1990)
Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug (1991)
Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn (1995)
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods (2013)
Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection "F" (2015)

From those ones, BoG it's the one I liked the less the first time I saw it but now it's the one I find to be the best (solid writting and it expands the lore of the series A LOT).
Resurrection F has the Freeza parts very, very well written, but the z-warriors vs Freeza army part is awful.
Fusion is not an ambitious movie but it's very funny and very well animated and it at least doesn't have any glaring contradictions or ass-pulls like most of the movies not listed here.
The same goes for Lord Slug, I liked a lot the visuals in that movie and it's fairly entertaining.
The first 2 z-movies may be my favourites of the old ones because they resemble more the old style DB (adventures over fights) and even if they have their own share of stupid things they feel different and more entertaining than the rest.

Battle of Gods and none of the other Z movies even come close to me. Manages to perfectly capture the hilarity of Dragon Ball while maintaining the dramatic stakes and awesome action of Z, it functions as a celebratory nostalgia trip whilst also opening up the series up for brand new territory to explain. Beerus is one of the best antagonists, and I loved Goku's character moment of being frustrated with not being able to attain the power of a Super Saiyan God by himself (not that Super agrees, since they removed that conversation). Vegeta was also amazing throughout, and when I saw the movie in theatres, the whole audience was like clapping and cheering when Vegeta started beating up Beerus after he bitchslapped Bulma, it was such a fun experience.

Second favourite would be World's Strongest, it had a more unique villain and premise compared to the rest, and I enjoyed the action since the villains had more specific powers that made the fights more interesting, like the fat yellow one essentially being Luffy.
