Movies and TV SceneItAll Tournament: Round 3, Heat 12

**Rain Man** · 07-06-2014, 02:28 PM

Changing things up a little in Round 3. I will present five scenes, and you will pick your TWO favorite scenes. The top two vote-getters will advance to Round 4, and others will have a chance at a wildcard spot.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what the Sceneitall tournament is all about. These are five heavyweights slugging it out to claim two spots. Who's going to prevail? My votes:

#1 - Pulp Fiction. It's going to take an elephant gun of a scene to knock this bad m*****f****r down. This one has greatness written all over it.

#2 - Glengarry Glen Ross. The fact that a sales meeting scene is still going strong in Round 3 attests to the strength of this scene. Great dialogue and great acting.

#3 - Anchorman. I know, I know. Will Ferrell is pathetically unfunny. But this scene is an exception. This is to Will Ferrell as American Pie is to Don McLean.

#4 - Full Metal Jacket. This could easily be as high as #2. It's really just a matter of my mood today and my tolerance for seeing brain matter on a bathroom wall. Today's not the day for that.

#5 - Goodfellas. Someone has to come in last. This is a great scene, but it's discomfitting enough that it knocks down my enjoyment a bit.

Pulp Fiction all the way

Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas for me...

That mother ****er suit manager doesn't get it! If you don't drink you coffee you cannot close. How in the hell can you close if you don't have your coffee?

Kinda easy pick, I thought...Goodfellas and Pulp.

I never have seen Full Metal Jacket but I watched the clip...typical Alan Alda/liberal view of the military, I guess. Not for me, thank you.

Will Ferrell makes my skin crawl.

Glengarry Glen Ross was at least in the running, but was kind of a distant third.

You guys are voting for the wrong Ezekiel 25:17 scene. I think the real one was voted out a while ago.

Goodfellas and Glengarry Glen Ross for me.

I agree, the other Ezekiel 25:17 scene is much better. A damn awesome scene.

They're both still alive in the tourney. I struggle with which one I like better.

Tough heat, coffee is for closers deserves better than this.

I really thought this one was going to be a dogfight. Doesn't look like it's headed that direction.

DJJasonp · 07-06-2014, 07:40 PM

Pulp (may be best scene in the movie)......and Goodfellas.

This was extremely painful to exclude coffee and anchorman.....

**Rain Man** · 07-06-2014, 10:28 PM

Holy cow. Goodfellas is putting a beatdown on all of the other scenes. Is it time to start wondering if it's a contender to take it all?

How did you mange to put the Anchorman "scene" 2 spots above Goodfellas?
