10 Star Trek Episodes That Are Perfect For A Good Cry
9. Star Trek III: The Search For Spock
Following on from the incredible trauma-fest that was Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan, this film sees its own fair mixture of sorrow and loss, but what really gets the waterworks going is the hope that it offers along the way.
Kirk's mission to save his two best friends, for McCoy is suffering just as much as Spock is running out of time, leads him to the final mission of the USS Enterprise. On top of that, he loses the son he had only just come to know, as he is forced to hear the murder over the comms.
However, despite both of these huge losses, Spock and McCoy themselves are saved. That final scene on Vulcan, as the crew stands-by and James Horner and Alexander Courage's music swells, might just be enough to open that emotional dam.
Jim? Your name...is Jim.
