Best Movie Scene Tournament: Round 2 - Group 9 of 32

[T-Dogz_AK47]

During the second round of The Best Movie Scene Tournament, please vote for up to four movie scenes you would like to move onto the next round. The top four 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:


The Shower scene - Psycho (1960)

The end of the fight - Rocky (1976)

Sticky Tongue - A Christmas Story (1983)

Finale - King Kong (1933)

Star Gate - 2001 A Space Odyssey (1968)

Royal Albert Hall scene - The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)

I watched the whole clip. It made zero sense to me.

Same with that "star child" clip.

Sorry, just realized I never watched that clip. I thought I had seen all the clips at least once (well parts of anyway). Unfortunately this clip was over 9 minutes long and didn't advance the plot along in any significant way. Never seen the movie, but I am sure this could have been shortened to 2 minutes and still had the same psychedelic wow factor. But otherwise this scene would have been a good scene to get popcorn or go to the bathroom, because you wouldn't lose out on any of the story.

fuck this group.

Come on. It's more than a sticky tongue. It's easily one of the most recognizable scenes in film history. It's constantly referenced around winter. Every time somebody jokes about sticking their tongue to a pole they have A Christmas Story to thank for that. It's more than deserving of moving on.
