SceneItAll Tournament: Round 8 - The Championship
 

This is for all the marbles. The two favorite movie scenes of Chiefsplanet have been determined, and in roughly 24 hours a winner will be declared between them. Good luck to the combatants.

Start this clip at the invasion - the 3:02 mark.

My vote is obvious:

#1 - Pulp Fiction. This scene contains humor, witty dialogue, great acting, and drama. You can't beat it.

#2 - Saving Private Ryan. This scene is epic, truly epic. But it doesn't contain much humor and witty dialogue. Silver medalist.

Pulp Fiction.

This is going to be like watching Ali and Frazier, or Dempsey and Tunney.

Ryan.

One of the few war movies that attempts to bring the true experience to the viewer.

Too easy, SPR... anything to take a dump on pulp fiction.

This place has damn near made me hate that movie.

Regardless of my vote, I do agree with this statement.

Now that we've reached the end of this thing, I'd like to say thanks again to Rain Man for putting this thing together. That had to be a heck of a job.

Thanks bud.

You sir are a mountebank, a scoundrel spouting calumnies!

lol....I knew you'd be along soon enough to spread the Pulp Fiction hate.

That's just a great scene, man. The dialogue is wonderful. Every time I see it, I enjoy it just as much as I did the first time. I believe that's what this tourney was all about.

It has been a pleasure. It's fun to see what resonates with the masses around here.

And, umm, I've discovered that this is a group that really enjoys violence and confrontation.

I was disappointed in the lack of love for comedy.

Like I've said before...saw it at a theatre & the crowd was in absolute shock from that scene. I've never been in a crowd like that before or since. It is brutal to watch but it's an incredible movie scene. I can only imagine the painstaking work that went into making it.

1,000 X This!

It's CP, would expect any less?

Thanks for putting this together...I've really enjoyed it.

I've always wanted to know if, and how, they shot it, retakes, etc.

You could feel the shock factor in the audience.

"DOWN GOES FRAZIER! DOWN GOES FRAZIER! DOWN GOES FRAZIER!..."

Ryan

Oh bullshit I hit option 3. Stupid ****ing phone. That should be a vote for SPR

I saw it the first night because I knew who put it together & I wanted to see it bad. No one knew what to expect as it was everyone's first time to see it & no leaks about anything had been out there. Crazy experience to see that scene just jump out & attack you.

It was probably just your phone telling you that you were making the wrong decision.

I'm guessing it's a smart phone.

Well, I wouldn't call it hate, I'm not that old yet, hell I used to own it... it just seems like every little scene from it was knocking off my favored heavyweights left and right.

Pulp.Fiction.

Samuel L Jackson rules the PF scene and doesn't need much explanation. I love Travolta in the scene as well. He's just in the back, playing it cool, but when Jules mentions the Bible, he knows it's time to get down to business because he's heard this before. Puts his cigarette out and then grabs his gun, ready for the end of the show.

Great screenplay and great directing.

SPR is just guns and guys blowing up. It's been done a million times.

Egg-zactly. You nailed it like Nadia Comaneci coming off the crossbar.

Ryan.

We are going to need that vote too!:doh!:

But who got the most post in before RM?

Ryan and it shouldn't even be close.

:facepalm:'ing at the results right now

This is going to go down to the wire.

Is it too late to nominate the penguin dance from Mary Poppins?

Nah, we'll throw it in there.

For the record, there were a total of 262 polls in this tournament. I'm pretty sure that's an all-time high.

And it started when 300 was just out on DVD, right?

Saving Private Ryan.

The votes would be tied right now if Discuss had voted correctly.

It's not Pulp Fiction's fault the Ryan voters can't master simple use of a smart phone.

It's a jolly holiday with Rain Man.

GFY

Rain Man, for the last time, I beg of you...please re-start this poll and make sure there are some scenes rom Airplane and the Naked Gun movies.

clearly Pulp Fiction!

Thanks again for this great idea and work! It's a really close race!

I'm going to assume you hit those keys on accident as well.

I too agree on the accuracy, hence it's inability to be my "favorite" scene. Pulp fiction is my vote....

I demand a re-do, the whole thing was horribly judged......

This is going to come down to the wire.

Pulp Fiction

This is so exciting!

Pulp fiction would win if the whole scene was in there!

I've never understood the Pulp Fiction thing.
I've seen it maybe twice and each time I was like 'meh'. Not horrible, but jesus....the way the movie is held in such high regard, left me hugely dissappointed.

SPR

Thats exactly how I feel about the movie. Good movie but nothing great. Seeing it once was enough.

Any specific way?

I have had my lifetime fill of that 'Well Bye' clip due to this site but I don't see Pulp having nearly that level of saturation.

Okay, I'm calling the race, and I think it's an upset.

Saving Private Ryan's Omaha scene is the favorite movie scene of Chiefsplanet, joining hot fudge sundaes, Stairway to Heaven, Joe Montana, and Miss Georgia as Chiefsplanet favorites.


Thanks for playing, everybody. [Cue exit music, exit stage left.]

Conductor, come back for the STANDING OVATION and take a bow!!!!!!


:toast:

Re do it next year, but this time limit the number of scenes per movie with pre-qualifier polls.

Ummm, no. But thanks for the suggestion.

The only thing is, Private Ryan obliterated the rule on time of duration for a scene, so it should have been disqualified from the start.

Other than that...

well, it is a gripping scene.

You sure cost yourself a shitload of work, but it was a lot of fun, so thanks!

Thanks again, Rain Man. I was rooting for Say what again, but I'm not exactly disappointed that Saving Private Ryan won.

Also, now I don't feel bad that Discuss Thrower is the lone vote on the third option.

Thanks again for the great work!

As of right now it lost by 1 vote.

I demand a recount...

When he called it it was down by 3 votes. Game over man.

Rainman is one smart feller.

Why allow votes after he closes the polls?...

This!

Butthurt pulp lovers. LMAO

Haha

I call Shanningins...Rainman, we need a do-over on this contest.
LMAO
Thanks Rainman

And now I will slowly roll out the TRUE top 25 scenes, based on the best available evidence, which is my own opinion.

My #25 favorite scene of all time - Groundhog Day's "I am a God".

It's fate in the tournament - it lost in Round 2 to "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly", for which I will never forgive Chiefsplanet.

I just read that the Omaha beach scene cost 11 million to shoot and had a 1000 extras in it. Amputees were issued prosthetics to simulate soldiers getting limbs blown off.

http://meneds.com/md/201407/a_How_di...ate_Ryan_.html

I bet there are a lot of hanging chads involved in this vote.

I wish I could see a making of the Omaha Beach scene.

My #24 scene of all time - the Pulp Fiction Dance Contest.

Its fate in the tournament - lost in Round 2 to the My Cousin Vinny court scene.

What the hell is this CP Varsity shit?

The first rule is you don't talk about cp varsity.

LMAO

Sorry, got sidetracked for a bit. My 23rd favorite scene - the T2 boots and clothes scene. It's fate in the tournament: survived until Round 5 when it was taken out by A Few Good Men and "Luke, I am your father."

My 22nd favorite scene: Back to the Future's Johnny B. Good scene, which made it to the same Round 5 heat that killed T2:

My 21st favorite scene. Indy and the rolling boulder. Best opening scene ever.
