[Easy 6]

FIRST.

FAST TIMES, PERIOD.

[Rasputin]

I'm in but not before Scott Free

[Rain Man]

Another easy heat. My votes:

#1 - Silence of the Lambs. Seriously, this may be the best plot twist in movie history. It was one of those scenes that makes you drop your jaw and go "whoooooooooa".

#2 - Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Toplessness is good. I like toplessness. But there's not much more to the scene than that, and we're in the big leagues now.

#3 - Enter the Dragon. The ending made me laugh, but I'm not sure it was supposed to.

Going with Silence of the Lambs

[Rain Man]

Going with Silence of the Lambs

You are correct. Proceed to go and collect $200.

[listopencil]

If Bruce Lee was a cop...Hannibal Lecter wouldn't have gotten away. And merely watching Lee on TV would have impregnated Phoebe Cates. Bruce FTW.

[DJJasonp]

Phoebe Cates.

'nuff said.

One of the most iconic scenes in movie history.....often replicated/paid tribute to.

[Old Dog]

You're correct that this is an easy choice, but Phoebe Cates is the correct one.

[Predarat]

Had to go with Fast Time, my gosh.

[Rain Man]

Oh, come on, people. There are Phoebe Cates-like scenes in every movie ever made. The Silence of the Lambs scene is a mind-blower.

[Predarat]

Oh, come on, people. There are Phoebe Cates-like scenes in every movie ever made. The Silence of the Lambs scene is a mind-blower.

But they don't all have Phoebe Cates.

Save your breath. That stupid scene took out Dennis Hopper in True Romance. It is unbeatable. (I voted Lambs.)

wait a minute!!! I missed a few voting sessions....but Hopper's Eggplant scene is out???

FOR SHAME PEOPLE!!!! FOR SHAME!!!

[Rain Man]

That's what I'm worried about. It's a fine scene, but it's no Silence of the Lambs by a long shot.

[Rain Man]

This heat just ain't right.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Wasn't there a rule about no nudity in the tournament because of situations just like this?

[Rain Man]

Wasn't there a rule about no nudity in the tournament because of situations just like this?

Yeah. I debated this scene and the "Requiem for a Dream" scene and finally decided that the nudity was secondary to the scene. I'm kind of second-guessing that decision now, but the ship has sailed. Hopefully Silence of the Lambs will rally hard and take its rightful place in Round 3.

[Dayze]

Phoebes titties were the first ones I had ever seen on TV.
I just sat there with my mouth open when I saw it.

On TV? As in mainstream TV? Or was this Skinemax or something?

Back when I was in high school, cable arrived in my town, which was a big deal. Every once in a while they'd make the pay channels available for free, and there was some channel that had late-night movies that featured some nudity and what you might call very softcore porn. It was an eye-opener for me.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Yeah. I debated this scene and the "Requiem for a Dream" scene and finally decided that the nudity was secondary to the scene.

Well, that was dumb.

[Rain Man]

Well, that was dumb.

I assumed that everyone would recognize that it was an introspective commentary on male insecurity.

[Gadzooks]

There's far more to the Fast Times scene other than just the boobies.
This is representation of fantasies that the majority of adolescent men have had since the peace that came at the end of WWII.
There's a comfort to it.
Most of us have had a similar fantasy to the one depicted in this scene.
Some of us have even gotten laid.
Of those, some have gotten to live their version of this fantasy.

This scene is special, wholesome, and should be viewed as a slice of Americana.

[cosmo20002]

You are correct. These people. :shake:

[BlackHelicopters]

Phoebe Cates

FOR SHAME PEOPLE!!!! FOR SHAME!!!

Yep, lost to boobs.

[mikey23545]

Hard to believe the number of 13 year olds on this board voting for "Oh, the first time I ever saw titties!"...

OMG, grow up and watch movies with the grownups...

Silence of the Lambs was easily the best scene in this collection...

[Rain Man]

A great scene falls, and some minor T&A moves on. Fast Times progresses to Round 3.
