The Blade Runner scene is poignant and memorable, can't believe I forgot that 
one. But, is it really a "tearjerker"? It makes me sad, but not misty-eyed...

That's actually a great list. There is one omission I found striking and that 
is Roy Batty's speech on the rooftop in Blade Runner. That is classic. 

The Serenity choice is a great one. I remember being stunned into silence and 
hearing audible gasps when the famous line "I am a leaf on the wind" is said 
that last time. 

I'm glad they gave B5 some love too.
