the most humbling scene in film history?
probably this

i’m gonna stop shitting on my own picks because this is really the best total breakdown on cinema. hackman’s character is a real pompus guy, he knows he’s hot shit and he doesn’t brag about it at the trade shows or to colleagues or even to women he’s trying to date, and he thinks it’s because he’s humble but it’s because he’s been so focused on being the best and being the most professional wiretapper guy that he’s become detatched from other people and real human relationships. all he has is his work. he doesn’t play music in a band or for people, he plays alone in his apartment, and when his neighbors complain he keeps doing it because it’s his only real social interaction, his entire life is focused on this wiretapping profession.
so when he gets totally outclassed not only by being so wrong in his own wiretapping, but getting wiretapped himself??? in his most treasured sanctuary that he’s got like 8 locks on and chews out his landlord for bringing in some mail or something one time lol so he loses his shit because he can’t believe he got bested in wiretapping, the only thing he really has in life, that he tears apart the apartment. and the little like 1 milisecond juke move with his hand when he’s clearing out the shelf with the virgin mary figure, and then he goes in for #2, forcefully this time, but he can’t even bring himself to believe that he would break open his virgin mary figurine, so he like touches his face, as if he was just moving his hand up to touch his face. who’s he trying to fool? only himself. he’s completely alone. and he’s a shit wiretapper. so he completely rips apart his whole apartment, walls and floors and all rofl come on bro michael corleone has like 2 or 3 kids already and he’s still the king of the mafia. it’s a slight bump in the road compared to a complete and total meltdown from hackman.
plus the whole godfather scene is reactionary right wing anti-feminist hysteria. a rich wife chooses to abort a healthy baby to spite her husband because she doesn’t agree with his career choices??? yeah ok that could happen, in sean hannity’s wildest daydreams. you’re a shit reviewer and if you give me another 2nd place rank to finish this category i will i write an even longer diatribe about why i’m mad at you

I can’t check this out right now but is everything going correctly? Is this my category?
this one i fucked up. i shoulda picked the rape scene from irreversible. that’s my fault. but the conversation got robbed
That leaves King_of_NY in fifth place for 1 POINT.
King_of_NY- Misery-hobbling scene
There is really nothing to say about why this came in last. These were all excellent picks, and they could easily come in different places if scored on a different day.

Category 5…go
That Misery scene made me wince when I first saw it.
I thought of one after the fact:

I think I’ve avoided seeing that Misery scene ever, even if it meant covering my eyes.

Ok, I don’t know why I picked this sexy scenes category. I’ve only seen two of these movies, I think Johnny mistook the one he sent in for a different category, and I kinda hate sexy scenes.

micro does seem to find Clint prettay sexy.
Ok, here goes. This was really a terrible category for me and I apologize and am making a bit of a mockery, but you contestants helped with that a bit.
Last place 1 pt beetlejuice with
the final scene of choke where sam rockwell is waiting in an unlocked airplane bathroom naked for anonymous sex and the girl comes in and they bang
Sounds sexy, but I have neither the clip, nor the movie and I haven’t seen it.

2pts KingOfNY with this scene from Atonement. This is a me problem, not a you problem King. I don’t really like sex scenes and I almost have to cover my eyes for this like it was the scene from Misery. I’m messed up. What can I say?

4 points for smrk4. I don’t really find this too sexy, but I like the effort and I didn’t have to cover my eyes at all. Barbarella.
When I watched this scene my first note was “winner”. I thought it was going to win, but it fell to 2nd place.
5pts for cassette with this beauty from Team America

And that leaves the Walrus. I really thought I wasn’t going to be able to make a real serious entry the winner here, but this scene is sexy as heck and didn’t offend my prudish sensibilities.
6pts for DodgerIrish with this scene from From Dusk Till Dawn

I deleted Johnny’s entry to check if he had misnumbered something. He submitted this for #5 and another scene for #6 that could have been meant for this category, but it’s also a legit possibility for the #6 category as well, so I’ll put it back.
3pts for Johnny and this inexplicable pick, but it’s a great scene and we’ll say sexy film making.
Ghost scene scores in the same spot anyway. I should maybe have flipped them, but c’est la vie. That’s the way you numbered them. Rexx gonna be mad.
