Best Movie Scene Tournament: Round 2 - Group 1 of 32 (Tiebreaker)

[T-Dogz_AK47]

For the tiebreaker poll, please choose one to move on to the next round.

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 four days. Discussion is greatly encouraged!

The nominees are:


Mount Rushmore Chase - North by Northwest (1959)

Alien Ship Reveal - The Abyss (1989)

This is going to be close.

At the end of the day, the CGI in The Abyss is somewhat distracting for me at this point.

Both are great scenes that deserve to advance.

Agreed. Alas, there can be only one though.

One Abyss scene already got booted. This one needs to move on. That music, those effects! The whole sequence is breathtaking. North by Northwest is famous for another scene, I think.

Abyss, was a "B" movie at best. get over it. lol

And the best scene from The Abyss was the one that got booted. This one will always be compared to the end of Close Encounters - no comparison. It deserves to go.
