Is anyone else moved to tears by Spocks crying in The Naked Time?

No original series episode moved me to tears. TNG got me twice: Tasha's goodbye and when Picard, as Kamen, saw his returning loved ones in "The Inner Light." The moment he saw his wife, I lost it.

DS9: "The Visitor." This was a few years after I lost my dad and this entire episode resonated with me. I lost my shit by the time that episode ended. The music alone still hits me. Honorable mention: all of the goodbyes in the finale.

Annnnnnnd, that's it. I didn't cry for Spock in Star Trek II either. I did, however, get a real lump when George Kirk was listening to his son being born over the intercom just before he rammed the Kelvin.

No. His fake crying was just so fake.

But I cried buckets during Wrath of Khan. I still rarely watch that movie.
 
The first two times I saw Spielberg's E.T. I didn't cry. But from 1985 on it got automatic.

I remember a woman losing it midway though PASSION OF THE CHRIST....during one of its few calm scenes. I guess the tension just kept building up for her.

I had a similar experience myself watching LORENZO's OIL. Probably the only other movies I cried in since were CAPTAIN FANTASTIC (when the mom died) and the first HARRY POTTER (watching the parents-in-the-mirror scene one month after losing my mother.)
 
It wasn't painful, but a sympathetic reaction. I could appreciate the moment. She died almost exactly five months after my father. As if 2001 wasn't difficult enough.
 
Being with her the moment she left us was a privilege for me. (It actually took me five more minutes than it should for me to realize it.) Nobody else was in the room.

A week later, literally two minutes before bedtime, five minutes after sending the last thank-you cards to our churchgoers, she visited me. I'm certain of it. She gave me a sign. It wasn't static electricity. It was her.
