My votes:
#1 - Pulp Fiction. One cannot vote against this scene. It's the perfect blend of dark humor, snarkiness, action, and dialogue. I love how Vincent is just hanging out in the background while Jules does his thing. This one could be the overall champion.
#2 - There's Something About Mary. Oh, my. How can I vote against this epic scene? The sight of gorgeous Markie Post ducking in with the Bactine sends me to the floor. This one works on so many levels. Plus, I love how you can hear Warren at some point yell out, "Franks and beans!" I'd never noticed that before.
#3 - Saving Private Ryan. Call me unAmerican. Call me unpatriotic. There's no denying that this scene is immensely powerful and perhaps the most gripping scene in any war movie ever. That said, this tournament is about FAVORITE scenes, and this scene stresses me out badly. I have to watch it and I appreciate it, but I don't really want to watch it and I don't find it enjoyable.

Very well said for all three, SPR is a very powerful and epic scene. I doubt anyone who knows me would ever call me unpatriotic but I agree , it's an emotionally charging scene, very realistic. But I can't call it a "favorite" of mine.
Later in SPR when the journalist guy is on the stairwell while his buddy gets stabbed near the end of the flick, I literally have to restrain myself from screaming at the screen and throwing things violently. Another emotionally charging scene very well done for a movie but wouldn't get a vote from me in this tourney.
I think I'm following your lead on this one, rainman....
