Best Deaths in Movie history *will contain spoilers obviously*

[Togakure]

... Spock's death in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. It *still* chokes me up, even though I've literally seen the movie at least 100 times.
...

How on earth could I have allowed this one to slip my mind in this thread. By far, this movie death has had the biggest impact on my character. The first time I saw it, I didn't choke up. I cried. I tear up whenever I watch it when I'm alone or in good company. I'm not embarrassed at all to say this.

I'd been watching Star Trek avidly from the time I was about age 6. It was easy to get me to behave as a kid--threaten to take away my Star Trek privileges for that evening. The depth and nature of friendships between Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Scottie became subconscious symbols of what True friendship is. When Spock died in the film, I felt like I'd lost a crucial role model. Being hapa, I related closely to many of Spock's struggles as a halfbreed. He is one of my life's great heros.

Kirk: Spock.
Spock: Ship... out of danger?
Kirk: Yes.
Spock: Don't grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many outweigh...
Kirk: ...the needs of the few.
Spock: ...Or the one. I never took the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?
Kirk: Spock...
Spock: I have been and always shall be your friend.
[Holds up his hand in the Vulcan salute]
Spock: Live long and prosper.

Kirk: We are gathered here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. But it should be noted that this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human.

McCoy: He's not really dead. As long as we remember him.
Kirk: It's a far, far better thing I do than I have ever done before. A far better resting place that I go to than I have ever known.
Carol Marcus: Is that a poem?
Kirk: No. Something Spock was trying to tell me. On my birthday.
McCoy: You okay, Jim? How do you feel?
Kirk: Young. I feel young.
