One of the most moving scenes I can remember was the 'Elegy for Dunkirk' scene from Atonement. I know sometimes long single tracking shots can be gimmicky, but I thought this really helped capture this whole scene. It's worth 4 minutes...
quote:Which were you talking about here? There are 2 very impressive single shot scenes in the movie. At the end with the child, and the car chase scene.
If you want to talk about single shot scenes, nothing comes close to children of men
Edit: didn't see the post on page 1
quote:There have been plenty. Some scenes from recent movies that come to mind:quote:
Good Will Hunting has some great scenes.
Agree.
Unfortunately, one thing this thread points out is that there had been a dearth of great movies in the last ten years.

So many good one listed.
Band of Brothers, "Why We Fight" - when they find the concentration camp. Also the scene were the German general speaks to his troops.

The Wire - Omar testifying against Bird and the "where's Wallace?" scene

Love, love, love this scene!
Also from Scrubs, the ending montage on the "real" last episode...When JD is watching what he hopes his life will be like.

I think that would be a little much
Edit: Hell what do I know about kids.

I just now decided not to let him see the tar and feathering scene from John Adams, though he will get to see much of the rest of that miniseries.
