I tend to agree with each, except I really did like Kirk's death in Generations. To me, the anti-climactic ending to such an incredible life made it so tragic, (in a theatrical sense.) Kind of like how Patton made it all the way through WOrld War 2, then got killed by a car accident.

An anti-climactic ending could have worked for Kirk (though not my preference) and even been moving... had it not just been tacked on to a movie about the Next Generation where Kirk is sort of an afterthought.

I agree with most of the best moments, but they fall far short on his worst moments, so I'm going to split the list evenly:
Theirs: Best
Kobayashi Maru
Bluffing the baby
Killing the planet killer
Sparing the Gorn
Sacrificing Edith (should have been No. 1)
The Ultimate Wing Man (Amok Time)
KHAAAAAAAAN!
Defeating Khan
Spock's Funeral (they must really love this movie)
Stealing Enterprise
Destroying Enterprise
Losing his Son
Protecting the Whales
Standing up to God
Doing Hard Time
Theirs: Worst
Tribbles
The Apple
The Mob Doesn't Rule (Piece of the Action)
I'LL KILL YOU! (Enterprise Incident)
Killed by a Bridge
Mine: Best
Sacrificing Edith
Spock's Death
Spock's funeral
The Enemy Below (aka Balance of Terror)
Saving the whales
Bluffing the Baby
Killing the Planet Killer
Sparing the Gorn
Stealing Enterprise
Destroying Enterprise
Mine: Worst
Killed by a Bridge
We're off to see the wizard, to see if he can give Spock a brain...
Leading on a little girl (Miri)
Hippies
Kirk the serpent (The Apple)
He said, she said (Turnabout Intruder)
I am Kirok!
Kirk vs. The Lawyer (And the Children Shall Lead)
Kirk Directs
Kirk tricks Changeling into self-destructing but they're nowhere near the transporter room
