Thinking back, I remember crying when Spock died when I first saw Star Trek II on video when I was 3 or 4.
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away, don't you hear me calling you?

Didn't quite cry, but Spock's death and the destruction of the original Enterprise had me choked up.

Yeah, those bits were very well done.

Yeah, agreed. I still get a little choked up when I watch the end of Wrath of Khan, even though I know Spock is recovered in the next film, and goes on to outlive Kirk. It's the "have been and always shall be your friend" line, I think. That, and how dignified Spock acts even though he's clearly blinded and dying.

I think that's how in hindsight, we can tell it was a great scene. Because we know he's coming back, but it still affects us when we watch it.

Any truly great scene moves us time and again when we watch it. No matter if we know what is going to happen or if we know what is going to solve it next frame. Its those moments that make tv worth watching. I also like the scene for Lord of the Rings - Return of the King, where King Theoden is on the hill top with his men looking at minas tirith and gives his speech, its a great one.
