Good Evening Everyone,

So I am trying to come up with an assignment for my freshmen science students where they will analyze different movie scenes that include a very clear "Claim, Evidence, Reasoning" style argument (not necessarily in that order), but I am struggling to come up with many examples.

Right now the main example I have is the witch scene in Holy Grail.

Claim: This woman is a witch.
Evidence: The woman weighs the same as a duck.
Reasoning: Witches burn, meaning they are made of wood. Both wood and ducks float, meaning they have the same weight.

Does anyone have any other example scenes that fit this style of argument?
