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:


Inspirational Speech scene - The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

I know there were twists before in movies, but the Sixth Sense reveal is THE og twist.

You're a beast, T-Dogz. Are you sure you don't want to use a web-based bracket platform to do the voting like was originally planned? This is going to be a ton of work. I know there are also some people (not myself) that don't like the forum getting filled up with tournament threads.

I think this is the ideal format, but I wouldn't be opposed to making it web-based.

Glad to see the rhino scene doing well. It's not The Godfather but to me it's one of the best comedy scenes.
