Not doubting it's there, just can't remember it specifically. I believe it’s seen just before they’re mowed down by the water but maybe not. It’s just an image that has always stuck with me. Maybe it is just a publicity photo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John 2,032 Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 Yes, many great scenes from Raiders. I've always loved this one in particular: One of the most eerie and awe-inspiring shots ever in a movie. The VFX may be somewhat dated, but the atmosphere of the Ark ceremony sequence is still so terrifying. dtw42 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the closest he ever got to emulating Leone. The whole film screams Leone - more so than either of Tarantino's actual Westerns. 3 hours ago, Richard said: Is that from BLOW OUT? Dressed to Kill.

Just way, way too many of the latter to choose from for that. The former is always more relevant to me in cinema. I like a cool looking still as much as anybody but I always feel like that's more photography appreciation. To me a great movie shot is what it means in context with the story, what shots come before and after, how the camera's moving, what the people are doing in the frame, what kind of sound and music are behind it, and how lighting and composition work in concert with all of that. Whether it lasts 2 seconds or 10 minutes, there are a lot of things that can make any given shot valuable. Some of the finest shots in movies are very plain things if you try to hang them on the wall. Movies are alive!

dtw42 61 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Not such a classic film as any of the above, but ... ... a friend and I used to work in a cinema when this came out, and - towards the end of its run, when early afternoon showings might have nobody in - we'd go and sit a few feet from the screen for this shot.

John 2,032 Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 There are many scenes in Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox where I just want to hit pause and stare at the sheer wonder and artistry of each frame. In a movie filled with superb imagery, this is my favorite shot. A melancholy scene where Mr. Fox is alone in the sewers, with a waterfall in the background giving the appearance of the character standing in rain.
