Movies and TV Time for another tournament: favorite movie scenes. - Page 28

**Rain Man** · 07:55 PM

Edit: The Tournament Is Now Underway and no more nominations will be accepted after Post 498. Look for the SceneItAll Tournament Threads.

I saw two movies today that featured iconic scenes: Big, with the piano dancing scene, and Risky Business, with the underwear dance.

It got me wondering about my favorite movie scenes, and I thought it would be a good tournament topic. So this is the nomination thread. Tell me your favorite movie scenes.

The rules:

1. A scene is generally defined as a segment in a particular place and time, continuous in presentation.

2. A scene should be no more than about three minutes in length.

3. I debated on what adjective to use. Most memorable scene? Best scene? I ended up landing on "favorite scene", because that lets you select based on your own feelings.

4. Probably no porn scenes since they would automatically win.

5. We're talking scenes, not lines. So your nomination needs to be at least one minute long unless you can argue that it's a full standalone scene that's shorter.

I'll likely do this as a brutal one-on-one single elimination tournament since I expect to get a lot of nominations. However, I could change this once I see what we have lined up.

I'll start by nominating the following:

- the piano dancing scene in Big

- the underwear dance in Risky Business (sorry about the ad - starting at 0:32 in this clip)

- the scene staring into the Seurat painting in Ferris Bueller (from 0:53 to the end of this clip, though they cut it off a little too soon)

- the Ferris Bueller parking attendants flying in the Ferrari

- Forrest Gump deciding to stop running (5:08 to 6:37 in this clip)

It's going to be epic, no doubt about it.

Once I get the nominations put in order, I'll probably ask everyone to look over the list, and I'll compare it to some list of great movies just to be sure we're not missing some obvious choices. Then we'll start.

Given the massive number of entries, I may have to rethink my tournament system.

I didn't mean from me. I don't hate Cook like a lot of people here do.

My rep is disabled because, 1. I'm not 12 and 2. Daface reset everyones rep over a yr ago so I just disabled mine.

I suppose I read it like you were threatening to neg him.

Regardless, it made me giggle.

Psst... do want me to neg him for you?

I don't normally neg anyone unless they royally piss me off or are an obvious troll being all trolly and shit. But for you, I will make the exception.

People assume my rep is off because I get a lot of neg rep, I guess.

What he posted was funny, given what he perceived.

Just think... I was about to give you pos rep for your post about Dane Cook sucking ass and him getting negged for it. Then I saw that your rep was turned off. I figured it would be a waste.

Anyway, back on topic...

And yes, the irony of that was funny. I just didn't recognize it when I posted it.
