Star Trek First Contact made me cry.
This is how much of a geek I am. I think its more down to the fact that I am a strong believer on extending humanity out away from this little planet and beyond. I hate the fact we are so consumed by our own internal affairs which are so miniscule and irrelivent compared to what could be out there.
Its a shame that humanity cant get on with one another, we are so absorbed by our differences and cant pull our resources together.

Which is why I quite like the Star Trek universe.

Star Trek First Contact really brought this home for me. The first time I watched it, I was really absorbed in the movie. And at the end when the Vulcans landed, the guy who had flown the first warp ship said "They're really from another world!" My heart sunk, and it was such a tear jerker for me.

First Contact brought humanity together and the Federation of Planets was created. Humans were no longer driven by the aquisition of wealth, but to better themselves.

Total fantasy and unlikely to ever happen in real life. But it was nice to see what we could be like if we wern't such a bunch of arrogant selfish small minded arseholes.

Ah Star trek
This is an excellent film and always makes me wish i could go into space. I'd apply to do the astronaught thing now but inside i know i'd just be disappointed that it wasn't like star trek :(

Erm...
I really love the movie and its up there amongst my favourites but I am not sure that it is cry-worthy.

I do cry at the movie Ghost though so I am probably emotionally retarded.

Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!
Spock's death scene in Wrath of Khan was a masterpiece, brilliantly directed and having dragged the performance of a lifetime out of William Shatner (presumably at gunpoint) without. a. dramatic. pause. to be heard.

It's okay for grown men to weep as Scotty starts playing the pipes.
