any movies shots that you like?

Bourne Identity, the alleyway shot of the chase scene as they come up to the "bump". BRILLIANT car chase scene with the exception of the vehicle duplicity.

Black Hawk Down was loaded with shots that were just plain fantastic, there were just too many to count. The one where the kid shoots his dad by mistake... talk about a powerful scene.

Alien, when Sigourney Weaver is climbing into the space suit on the shuttle.

I like the whole drunken / flicker scene in Snatch after the pikey's mom gets snuffed by Bricktop.

I can't find any video, but in the Miami Vice movie from a few years ago there was a scene in which the backdrop was a real thunderstorm. Reality in movies... imagine that.

"Breaking Bad" and BBC's "Sherlock" are both object lessons in the fact that it doesn't cost any more to take a pretty picture than an ugly one. While both probably have healthy budgets for TV shows, they still use a lot of creative camera work to tell awesome stories.

You sir, are the caretaker. You have always been the caretaker.

This whole movie is shot well but the ballroom bar scenes are awesome.

I bought that on BluRay a while back and my wife and I finally got around to watching it. Man, that's one hell of a beautifully filmed movie. Scary, too, which makes it even better.

^One of my all time favs, I need to get it on Blu-Ray as well. Many, many brilliant shots.

Following Danny around on the Big Wheel, driving up to the mountain (believe that was actually shot in Glacier National Park)........good stuff.

Mt.Hood, OR. The shots of the resort, from the front, were taken at Timberline Lodge as well.

"The opening panorama shots (outtakes of which were used by Ridley Scott for the closing moments of the original cut of the film Blade Runner) and scenes of the Volkswagen Beetle on the road to the hotel were filmed from a helicopter in Glacier National Park in Montana on the Going-to-the-Sun Road."

Blade Runner has so many great shots in it. There's almost no way to go wrong picking, but one of my favorites was the opening sequence with the environmentally ruined city scape reflected in someone's eye.

I thjink we can agree that pretty much all of Mad Max was a well shot movie.

Amazing what they could do when they had to focus on, you know, shooting a movie, and not how they were going to do the CGI or the marketing placements.

In reply to z31maniac:

E36 M3, all these years I've believed family friends that took us up the road to Timberline Lodge in their '27 Model T, that that was the road. At least they were right about the front exterior shot of the lodge.

Sorry for the Zombie thread, but this one's worth it.

This entire movie looks incredible. Ironically, it's my mom who is the western buff in the family, and she's the reason I've seen so many of these classic movies that so many of my peers have not.

I remember reading somewhere that the scene going up the stairs took 150 or so takes before Kubrick was satisfied.
