Movies and TV SceneItAll Tournament: Round 1, Heat 20

**Rain Man** · 01-07-2014, 01:12 AM

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.

(A longer sequence of this clip was nominated, but this is all I can find.)

**Rain Man** · 01-07-2014, 01:15 AM

My votes:

#1 - When Harry Met Sally. This was a great movie, but I'm not sure that any individual scene was great. This is the best of the heat, though.

#2 - Public Enemy. I'm not a huge fan of old movies. The acting and writing always seems cheesy.

#3 - Cat's Eye. In a weird coincidence, we get two clips from this movie in two heats. I'm not overly impressed.

I voted AGAINST the When Harry Met Sally scene. So overrated.

Yeah, it doesn't wow me, either. I really liked the movie overall, but I struggle to think of a scene that stands out. This is the most famous one, obviously.

If forced to pick one, it might be the scene where they are talking about if girls and guys can be friends. He says guys can't be friends with a woman that he finds attractive because he'll want to have sex with her. She says, "So a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?" And he says, "No, we pretty much want to nail them too."

Rain Man,

Have you ever made a "greatest actor of all time" poll? I think that would be fun.

WhawhaWhat · 01-07-2014, 11:59 AM

Wasn't a huge fan of any scene in this round. I've never actually watched any of these movies but I know the orgasm scene is pretty iconic of American cinema and that's good enough for me.

I'll put it on my list of tournament candidates. I'm not good at actors, though, so I'd probably be running that one blind.

Well, people can make suggestions, like they did with the sitcom tournament.

Cat's Eye was a great movie deserves more votes.

Also anyone who needs to quit smoking would appreciate Quitters Inc.

**Rain Man** · 01-08-2014, 11:42 PM

Harry and Sally move on due to Sally's hard work.

**Easy 6** · 01-09-2014, 12:52 AM

I'm CERTAIN I watched Cats Eye on some late night movie program 15 years ago, but cant remember a damn thing about it, although it seems to have a cult following here.

But I have watched the orgasm scene, and how can you not like that.

Meg Ryan moves on.
