Best Movie Scene Tournament: Round 1 - Group 7 of 32

During the first round of The Best Movie Scene Tournament, please vote for up to six movie scenes you would like to move onto the next round. The top six movie scenes will be moving on. Keep in mind that the percentage of the vote a given movie scene receives will determine its standing going forward.

IMPORTANT! Please do not simply vote on name recognition (or lack thereof) alone. Please do watch each nomination and then make your choice. Even if you think you know a movie scene well, it's still worth watching for a refresher.

Please remember that his tournament is for Best Scene, not Best Movie.
It's important to therefore judge each nomination on its individual merits and NOT by the entire movie.

The poll will run for seven days. Discussion is greatly encouraged!

The nominees are:

Other than the few seconds with the night vision goggles, all I saw was a bunch of shadows moving around. :shrug:

yeah that scene didn't do anything for me. Sure the sunset was beautiful, but otherwise it was as interesting as watching someone get dressed.

I really wish Winkie's Diner could get a few more votes and move on.

I love the scene in the tournament, but the best scene from Sicario is the bridge scene. I don't think it's in the tournament, but it should be.

If you haven't seen Sicario, I highly recommend it.
