Movies Using Great Camera Angles?

[pete's montreux]

Rosemary's Baby extreme close up shots did a very good job of creating tension. Aronofsky did some of that as well in Black Swan.

the shining intro scene where the car is being trailed by the helicopter is another great one

Dammit you beat me with the opening of The Shining. Great opening shots. The introduction of Shutter Island when they arrive at the asylum reminds me very much of The Shining. Scorsese was channeling his inner Kubrick with that sequence.


Hitchcock was the pioneer of using distance to suggest trust or paranoia between two face to face characters. Close up for him usually meant more of a comrauderie between figures whereas a far shot showed distrust or more guarded restraint during dialouge

You know what it is. Just looking for some collaborative help here, can't think of movies with specific camera angles off the top of my head.

Not to mention this would be a nice thread to checkout if you're a movie buff.

I know, this is what I meant. You actually contributed to your own thread asking for help, and it's about a topic people would actually enjoy discussing. I wasn't trying to f*ck with you.

"Boogie Nights"

That film is a cinematography clinic. One of my favorite scenes:

I liked Tarantinos use of angles in Kill Bill especially that fight with Vivicia fox at the start of part 1...

Also liked the shots in Fargo, that Burnt umber ciera in the snowy distance...the bird eye view of Macy in the parking lot etc...

Not the best or most sophisticated just two cases that came to mind

Cloverfield Army Scene...

If you see this in an actual high quality movie theater it's pretty intense...

Another great one is "There will be blood"

The film is harrowing throughout.

let me ask you all something seeing as everyone is naming them as great shots.




in your opinion is the use of the tracking shot imediatly signalling big/dramatic or cinematic values for you?

The lighting in the Raging Bull fight sequence was amazing.
