Best Movie Scene Tournament: Round 1 - Group 8 of 32

[T-Dogz_AK47]

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:


First Transformation - An American Werewolf in London (1981)

Earn This - Saving Private Ryan (1998) *** WARNING: MAJOR SPOILER ***

The Signal scene – Contact (1997)

Al Capone's Baseball Bat - The Untouchables (1987)

The Club Scene - John Wick (2014)

Peter Weyland's TED Talk – Prometheus (2012)

Charlemagne - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

"What Have I Done?" - Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)

Interesting group, all pretty close here except Prometheus.

Interesting group, all pretty close here except Prometheus.

The scene I prefer in Prometheus is the alien birth scene. Rapace in general is fantastic in that film. It has its problems, but she's not one of them. My favorite line is when she says, "We were so wrong!"

A TRUE shame Wick was left out. One of the best action scenes of the last decade.

Agreed, but you have to realize the other scenes it went up against.

I'm starting to think you don't like any movies that were made before 1998.
