SceneItAll Tournament: Round 1, Heat 91
 

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.

My votes:

#1 - Gold Rush. It's not sophisticated, but I like the scene because it shows that entertainment is independent of era. It actually made me chuckle in a few places, and it's closing on 100 years old. That's impressive.

#2 - Gladiator. Good scene, mmm hmm. Good scene. I like it just fine.

#3 - Requiem for a Dream. It seemed kind of depressing. I don't like depressing scenes.

"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."

Crowe, eight days a week.

I thought it was gonna be the double ended dildo scene from requiem for a dream

That one was nominated, and I'm still trying to figure out if it's eligible or if it's too close to porn. It's too close to call.

Gladiator strikes down its foes and moves on.
