Movies and TV SceneItAll Tournament: Round 1, Heat 92

**Rain Man** · 03-21-2014, 05:42 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.

It's only the first 30 seconds of this clip.

My votes:

#1 - Yellowbeard. The key element of humor is surprise, and who saw that coming? This is perhaps the funniest mother-son exchange in the history of movies.

#2 - Caddyshack. Bill Murray is a great storyteller, so he's got that going for him. This is a strong scene that is neck and neck with my #1.

#3 - Rocky. Yeah, it's famous, but I actually yawned partway through. The music is good, but otherwise it's just a guy running.

Now Rocky II was something. Somebody used a USA Track & Field measuring tool and estimated that Rocky ran over 30 miles in a training run in that movie. That is a scene for which I could have voted...

That's impressive, not just him but the kids as well.

Caddyshack moves into the next round, achieving total consciousness.
