Your Champion
The T. Rex Breaks Out (Jurassic Park)

VS

Your Challenger
The Bend and Snap (Legally Blonde)

The Case for The T. Rex Breaks Out (4):

The Case for The Bend and Snap:
Works every time!

Which do you pick?

The Bend and Snap

Movie Scene Battle: The Bear vs. The T. Rex Breaks Out

Your Champion
The Bear (Annihilation)

VS

Your Challenger
The T. Rex Breaks Out (Jurassic Park)

The Case for The Bear (2):
How do you up the tension in a scene where one soldier has tied up her comrades and is clearly losing her mind?  Well, first you can hear the screams of their supposedly-dead friend.  Then you can have a bear appear.  THEN you can have that bear be the source of the friend's scream.  Featuring some of the best effects in the film, this scene is a tightly wound rope that you cannot wait to escape from.

For anyone who ever thought Disney movies were kid stuff, comes this weird, trippy song near the end of the  movie as Dumbo gets (accidentally!) drunk and hallucinates.
