In today's politically charged climate, Twitter can certainly be a place where people are charged up and ready to get into 140 character debates about the state of the world. But perhaps what is lost amongst the bickering is that the platform is still a place to engage in discourse regarding much lighter fare.

An example of the latter began when filmmaker, Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Doctor Strange), asked his followers a simple question; "What is the single greatest scene in cinema history?"

For him, it's the library sequence in Wim Wenders’ 1987 film, Wings of Desire. Of course, this topic is widely debatable — which is why it's such a fun piece of social media to dive deeper into.

Although it's a just a cross-section, here is what Twitter came back with.
