Movies and TV Time for another tournament: favorite movie scenes. - Page 35

**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)

Was this meant for the Duck Dynasty thread?

I added the late suggestions to the tournament just for fun, along with a few other classics that we should have had.

What is your most embarrassing cinema moment? Perhaps I missed that story.

Cried like a bitch when Alice stepped into the abyss, on a date, at a movie starring my GF's celebrity crush.

BTW, that scene was the greatest moment in ginger cinematic history as well.

Truly, between this and Star Wars Ep IV, it really reinforces the strength of a good score to great cinema. Try watching Star Wars without the score sometime, it looks like some filler reel shit from the 40s, like the worst episode of Dr. Who ever, really.

There was a moment in time where I hated no one on earth like I hated Wes Studi. I mean I could have killed him on sight in real life at that point.

Worse than Lin Eliot, for reals. Worse than Lin, . . . Eliot.

Did the scene from Miller's Crossing make it into consideration?

Miller's Crossing has one scene - "Danny Boy". Is that what you're referring to?

Yup

Also, you need to campaign for a subforum for these types of voting threads.

I'm not into the subforum thing. For tournaments you need lots of people.

I'm grateful to the mods for not moving this tourney into the media thread, because I don't think I'd have as much participation there.
