SceneItAll Tournament: Round 1, Heat 103
 

The rules:

In Round 1, I'm going to put up three randomly selected scenes from the nomination thread.

You'll vote for your ONE favorite scene among the three. The key here is FAVORITE. We're not talking about the 'best' or 'most powerful' or 'most meaningful'. We're talking about the scene that you most enjoy watching, however you define that.

The winners will move on. I'll also take the 10 highest-scoring second-place scenes and they'll advance as wild cards.

Some of our nominations did not include clips. This will be noted. If you find a clip, please post it and let me know so I can update it if it moves on.

I hope this is the right scene. The original was removed from youtube.

This is a very interesting heat with three good scenes that are quite diverse. I wasn't familiar with all of them before watching.

I could rank any one of these three first. This may be my toughest heat to date to vote on.

#1 - Red Violin. I admit it. I nominated this scene. It's probably better in context, but you need the whole movie as context. I'm a fan of violin music.

#2 - Jackie Brown. I'm learning that I'm a big Samuel L. Jackson fan. Perhaps I should see Snakes on a Plane.

#3 - Cool Hand Luke. I feel terrible ranking this scene third. It's a great scene, but in a strong heat.

Jackie Brown for me.

The next minute or so after that one cuts off would make it better for this tournament. Sam Jackson drives over to a nearby field, opens the trunk, and shoots Chris Tucker.

Red Violin, whats that?

Newman is great in CHL, but yeah... gotta go Jackie Brown here, probably Tarantinos most underrated movie.

"Rack this M@therF@cker"

That kid was like the Eddie Van Halen of violiners. But they weren't even talking American. If I wanted to read, I'd get a book. Or at least a magazine.

The Red Violin is a great movie. And I just remembered that it also stars Samuel L. Jackson. You should check it out.

Yeah, I'm currently about 2/3 through the 709 page quintessential Douglas MacArthur story "American Caesar"... so simpleton "go eat a Big Mac you poorly educated idiot" smack isn't going to cut it here.

**** that violin, yay Jackie Brown... you go girl!

Cool Hand Luke refuses to go down, and moves on to the next round.

It's hard to top anything from Cool Hand Luke...
