Movies and TV SceneItAll Tournament: Round 1, Heat 18

**Rain Man** · 01-03-2014, 06:58 PM

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.

None of these are iconic and the main problem is there are much better scenes from all 3 movies to choose from.

Only one I'm familiar with is The worst toilet in Scotland.

**Rain Man** · 01-03-2014, 07:02 PM

This is a very interesting heat to me, because it could go any direction.

#1 - Trainspotting - I love this scene. It combines shock and horror with humor and beauty. I like how he swims toward the beautiful light at the end.

#2 - Final Countdown - I love the concept. It may be a reflection of the era, but I don't think it was pulled off as well as it deserved. However, it's still a good scene.

#3 - Heartbreak Ridge - The Chief factor counts for a lot, but in the end it's just another fight scene.

If memory serves, Swede was a Kansas City Chief at one time?

Defensive end Pete Koch. He was more of a showhorse than a workhorse, but I'm pretty sure that he was a starter for us for a year or two.

It looks like Pete remains a Chiefs fan: http://petekoch.wordpress.com/2013/10/

Worst toilet.

**Rain Man** · 01-04-2014, 09:33 PM

With apologies for my rudeness, I'll bring this to the top for some voting since it got buried in the initial optimism of a Chiefs playoff game.

**Rain Man** · 01-07-2014, 01:04 AM

Okay, this outcome was a shocker. The rankings were in exact reverse order of my prediction. I'm sad to see the worst toilet go, but Heartbreak Ridge moves on.
