Movies and TV SceneItAll Tournament: Round 1, Heat 110

**Rain Man** · 04-07-2014, 10:58 PM

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'm not sure if this covers the whole scene, but I think it's what was nominated.

NB4!!!

So, by the end of this we'll have the entire Napoleon Dynamite movie in play?

Why are there so many Napoleon Dynamite scenes FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!???

**Rain Man** · 04-07-2014, 11:16 PM

My votes in a heat of okay scenes:

#1 - Second Hand Lions. I like the scene and it's pretty entertaining if you don't worry about realism.

#2 - Napoleon Dynamite. How can one forget a tryout film like that? It reminds me of half our quarterbacks over the past 20 years at Arrowhead.

#3 - Fargo. It's a good movie, but this scene doesn't move me at all.

Pretty much, though oddly his dance scene wasn't nominated.

Love ya ta death buddy, but the more I see your picks the more I'm convinced you watch movies like an asshole.

That Fargo clip is a classic, Ebert used most of it to intro his glowing review of one of his all time favorite movies

This x a million.

Never watched the movie and never plan to watch it. Looks like a horrible mess.

If you never watch it, you'll never understand the countless references and quotes that people make every day that are from the movie. I'll bet that sometime during your workday today, someone will offer up a Napoleon Dynamite quote to you, smile cleverly, and then wonder why you didn't get it. They'll go away and tell someone else, "Man, that guy doesn't have large talons".
