I had completely forgotten about some of those scenes. Particularly Wrath of Khan. When I first saw it in the theater, I was all "Spock? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" /Darth Vader


Come to think of it, my lower lip gets wobbly at about half the movies I see. I'm a glutton for sweeping musical crescendos that correspond with things like dogs running towards their families, good guys winning, and gruff old men hugging their grandkids a la Robert Duvall in Secondhand Lions. Although that was a nephew I think.

And at the end of LOTR, when Aragorn says to the hobbits, "My friends. (pause). You bow to no one." (kneels)

I bawled. And my eyes just got wet writing it. stfu.

I also like heads exploding in a fine red mist, though.
