Surprisingly I don't think there's been a scene from Citizen Kane nominated yet?
Nomination 7
Kane's Boyhood - Citizen Kane
Dir. Orson Welles 1941
I chose this scene for several reasons. It is arguably the most important scene of the film. It sets up Kane's entire future. The film comes full circle right back to this very important scene. The use of filming techniques is also top notch. Orson Welles was an amazing director, and brought so much to film. He definitely liked to play and experiment with different types of camera work, which can be seen here.
Spoiler: 04-18-2017 03:28 PMMerlin1958Yeah, that is a great scene and movie as well. I'll second that!!!!! 04-18-2017 03:29 PMwebstar1000I'll second Austin powers. Lol clasuc

Also, guys, I love many of the scenes people have been nominating, but the Russian Roulette scene from The Deer Hunter needs to be in this tournament. It's not a tournament about great movie scenes without it. Any list compiling great movie scenes always includes the Russian Roulette scene towards the top half. 04-18-2017 04:46 PMMerlin1958Quote:
I kinda figured that was it, but it seemed somewhat lame for an explanation/title. Yet, it is a great scene so I guess I'll third it. 04-18-2017 06:21 PMamd013This is funny, at work, I can't see some of the photo's people post if its on certain web hosts. (I never see any of Bruce's pictures). They are blocked in such a way I don't even know they are blocked, because I can't tell there is supposed to be a picture (except by context). So I had no idea you included a picture in your post, or that it was included in my reply. LOL. So, I was agreeing with your statement, but I agree with your picture too! 04-18-2017 06:31 PMamd013Quote:Actually that's the best title for the scene. I quote it from time to time. Its really the only line I remember from that scene. 04-18-2017 07:05 PMamd013Second: Shootout scene - Unforgiven

Obviously there's another iconic Dirty Harry (the character, not the movie) scene that I will nominate if no one else does. (Maybe two more, but a man's got to know his limitations). 04-18-2017 07:08 PMMattrickNomination #13 - The Train Battle - Spider-man 2 (2004)

Still are... BUT I HATED THESE movies. Toby M is a penis... they ruined Venom (my fav comic villain ever) and the only thing they got right??

04-20-2017 01:38 PMmaeNomination #19: The death scene from Grave of the Fireflies (1988), directed by Isao Takahata:
Another animated nomination, and it's one of my all-time favorite films. It's one of those I rarely watch because it's so emotionally draining. And this scene in particular (I couldn't find the original Japanese version with subtitles, so the dub will have to do - it's not bad). This is one of very few movies that made me cry when I first saw it and even now watching the clip it gets me emotional. The animation is perfect and the (original) voice acting is so heartbreaking. One of the saddest moments in cinema history. The whole thing is a big SPOILER, obviously, but this is a nearly 40 year old film, come on, and I think the premise is well known. If you have not seen it, the scene perhaps doesn't really work or have impact without context, so I would definitely implore anyone who's yet to see this to watch it if you can. In my view, it's the best animated film of all time, and just plain one of the best films of all time. 04-20-2017 03:55 PMStill ServantStill Servant - Nomination #8
"Coffee's for closers" - Glengarry Glen Ross
Spoiler:
One of the greatest movie cameos of all-time, as well as one of the best monologues ever. 04-20-2017 04:02 PMStill ServantIn regards to sheet #2 on the flow chart, are we not worrying about that anymore? I've noticed the main sheet, which is more important, is being kept up with, but the sheet with the list of what people have nominated/seconded hasn't been.
If we aren't going to worry about it anymore then let me know and I will stop updating it. Thanks. 04-20-2017 09:18 PMfriksecond:
