Best Movie Scene Tournament: Round 3 - Group 25 of 32
During the third round of The Best Movie Scene Tournament, please vote for up to two movie scenes you would like to move onto the next round. The top two 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:
Hospital Scene - Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Baptism scene - The Godfather (1972)
"The Greatest Trick the Devil Ever Pulled" - The Usual Suspects (1995)*** WARNING: MAJOR SPOILER ***
The culprit here is The Usual Suspects. It's a cool twist and I love the movie, but it's not better than The Godfather scene, nor the Bambi scene.
I respectfully disagree. TUS twist automatically makes the entire movie better in retrospect.
Spoiler:
The realization on Kujan's face when he realizes that the monster he's been chasing has been tricking and manipulating him the entire time, lacing bits of his story with things he sees around the office is brilliant.
I love that shot in the beginning of the movie of Soze looking around the office, collecting verbal ammo to use in the partially made up story he's about to tell.

What a scene, what an ending!
It's perfectly played too. That said, the baptism scene is just pure cinematic perfection.
