SceneItAll Tournament: Round 1, Heat 25

[Rain Man]

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.

I think this was a TV movie, but I'll allow it since it's famous and it was later made into a feature film.

My votes:

#1 - Duel. At some point I'll vote against it since it's a TV movie, but it's a really good scene.

#2 - The Sandlot. A fine scene, but not a standout in my mind. I like the narrator's voice.

#3 - Collateral. I have a lot of trouble processing dark, fast-moving scenes. They disorient me.

[ThaVirus]

[WhawhaWhat]

McCloud in Duel, that was a pretty damn good movie in its day.

I'm voting for the only one I've seen.

[Rain Man]

The Sandlot, and every young boy's dream, wins.

[Rasputin]

Eh I really liked Duel and voted for it but can't argue with Sandlot good scene from a good movie.

I went to a T-Bones game last year and the Sandlot director was there and they were celebrating the 20th anniversary of the movie. I liked it well enough for what it was, but I never knew it had such a following. There was a huge line of people to get the director's autograph and get their picture taken with the "actual" dog from the movie, who looked pretty good for being around 25 years old.

The Collateral scene is really quite excellent, but works better within the context of the whole film.

Tom as the soulless killer, a perfect fit for who he actually is, then you have Foxx playing against type as the scaredy cat everyman... that movie wasnt half bad at all.

It just couldnt beat the competition.
