I am learning in this tournament that I do not watch a lot of movies. I've seen bits and pieces of this movie, though, and I must confess that I have not seen the allure of it.

It's a funny scene, but a lot of these clips don't fare as well taken out if context. Especially f you've never watched the movie.

I am starting to think that perhaps Pulp Fiction is my favorite movie because I have never seen another movie.

Office Space, and it isn't close. One of my all-time favorite scenes.

Pulp Fiction is a pretty good movie. It even made everyone forget that John Travolta is gay for a while. |

Definitely gotta watch this one, man. If you've ever worked any sort of office job, you'll really relate.

On the Waterfront, and it isn't even a question.
If you don't understand this scene, you didn't enjoy the 5 seasons of The Wire as much as you thought you did. Watch the whole movie, the compromises and concessions faced and hashed out here, it's all about what the American Dream does to the American Dream, and how it all ends in ashes. Brando's character was one of true talent, but he played along with the system for the enrichment of his 'friends.' And his friends sought to reward him with a position that rewarded laziness and mediocrity. 'Don't be great, fleece the masses to our enrichment, and we'll set it so you can be comfortable without effort.' The seamy underbelly of the American Dream. I'm a decided post-Bonnie and Clyde cineast, but On the Waterfront is powerful storytelling.

On the Waterfront. No question. It's a great scene and the movie holds up great.
What doesn't show in the clip is that the older brother is essentially signing his own death warrant by not getting Brando to play ball. |

Office Space. Hands-down the funniest movie ever made. Of course, that couldn't have biased my vote.....
