An 18 minutes video of cinefix talking about the best movie shots of all time including some of kurosawa's, tarkofsky's, Kubrick's, Nolan's, Scorsese's, Hitchcock's best shots. It's FAR BETTER than all the watch mojo film videos together.
why the fuck does every CineFix mojo have a dumbfuck watchmojo comparison... we get it, jesus fucking christ.
Mojo is for the common folk. Everything they do is mostly for hype purposes. Cineflix produces actual content about film. Film school level content
We don’t speak of that channel
tarkofsky? tarkofsky??
I mean, really?!
:D
Strongly agree. I'm a convert.
I love how you guys don't pick the ones we expect, it challenges my comfort zone while simultaneously helping me appreciate what I already like.
Side note: I love all the camera work in the Truman Show--that goofy pencil sharpener shot is pretty fun, or the in-mirror shot at the beginning, or the boom at his 'moment of awakening' (queue music from powaqquatsi). Also that sped up homage to 2001's 360 docking procedure in Interstellar was brilliant IMO, or the rising shot where we follow his truck and smash into the rocket launch. Great mentions.
Usually when they pull up some obscure 1920s movie I'm like "okay, we get it, you have a film degree." But that shot from Wings was incredible! So dynamic and really just neat. Like a David Fincher CG shot but done practically. I'd love to see more stuff like that in any movie.
Sometimes we of the modern era of cinema forget why many of the classics were classics.
The Wings one was the biggest surprise. Amazing shot on so many levels, in a 90 year old silent movie? Wow.
I know right? I'd never heard of that movie, but that shot seems so innovative. Even more so since I've never seen any modern shots that seemed to pay homage to it.
I thought so too. It was an amazing shot. The skill and detail that went into it was insane...Especially when you consider it was 90 years ago.
Agreed. Never heard of it but after seeing this, I'm intrigued and really want to see it now
Making the camera speak in a silent movie is amusingly ironic. Truly that was the better of them all.
I wonder how exactly they did it..
I think you guys should do a top 10 moments of foreshadowing.
Ooo, yeah, that does sound interesting. :)
The comments would be filled with people who don't know what foreshadowing is, but have been using the term non-stop since they watched Breaking Bad....
awesome idea
yes yes yes
Rodrigo Ele Foreshadowing is as simple as video game making you walk into a room filled with ammo and health packs.... Cause you know the next door is the boss battle lol. It's not complicated.
The Taxi Driver shot is SO GOOD
Taxi Driver is SO GOOD!
"If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed"
~ Stanley Kubrick
Yet he turned down LOTR, saying it was an impossible feat.
Nicholas Vittorio Because of the amount of material
Nicholas Vittorio but it was filmed
Bresson would disagree.
at the time
I had never realized the Dark Knight shot was such an incredible shot, also that taxi driver shot is beautiful
Dude, the first time I watched that scene, Joker was hanging upside down, then I blinked or something and next thing I see is the camera is now upside down.. It messed me up for like a minute!
That Taxi Driver shot seems to tell Travis, "It's over dude, it's useless. Just leave now, here's the exit"
What gets me, it feels like the Joker is rolling, but for the life of me, I feel like the background ISN'T rolling, only adding to the effect of the shot. But I never clued into the effect until this video. I knew it was there, but not in a tangible way.
Just to be clear, I know the background is rolling too... It's that even upside down, the lights and movements, and water in the distance, all look perfectly natural upside down. So it has the effect of, once the motion is finished, really driving the viewpoint home.
"Cranes, Trains & Automobiles." 0:31
You couldn't resist, could you?
I didn't get it
It's a play on "Planes, trains, and automobiles," a famous movie quote.
I'll save you guys the time

Thank you
ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS??? NO SCARED SHREKLESS????! COME ON CINEFIX, YOU’RE BETTER THAN THIS!!!!!
Thanks!
This is by far the best RUclips channel if you want to learn about films. If it wasn’t for you guys I wouldn’t know nearly as much as I do now x
Soooo true!
If you like this kind of stuff, I can recommend you three channels that don't have that many videos but are high quality:
Every Frame a Painting
Now You See It
Lessons from the Screenplay
Southparker42 Thanks for the tip 👍
Southparker42 too bad EFAP isn't going to add any new videos now , it was great while it lasted though
Filmmaker IQ has some long and very detailed lessons.
List videos get kind of a bad rep these days because of how easy it is to make it bad and mass produce. Videos like this one are great to remind us of the potential in this format. If they are done right, Top 10 videos are fucking awesome
Cinefix is amazing in general. It just feels so damn professional compared to other youtube channels, and even a good portion of what's on TV.
Lizerdspherex
but being professional is not everything. WatchMojo looks very professional and well made, the difference is that cinefix has real content behind the sleek presentation
That shot from Wings is such a beauty to behold. Aggressively entertained - it's like taking a ride while staying still, awesome stuff.
Also, note the pre-code lesbian couple at the table, one wearing a top hat, the other a bow tie.
I'm ridiculously in love with that shot from Wings! How lovely!
Fernando De Lima that was beautiful!
That's shot from "Wings" floored me. I need to go seek that film out now.
Ooooh boy, I know its going to be a good CineFix video when I'm a minute and a half in and don't know what the fuck is going on
My favorite camera movement is from a movie I didn't particularly like, Atonement. The long take of the beach at Dunkirk is one of the most visually stunning things I've ever seen.
Maggie Karabel Yeah I was surprised when they only showed a tiny fragment of that, it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the video title. Absolutely stunning shot
They talked about it in the long takes video.
Why didn't you like Atonement?
The dutch angle wasn't really mastered until Battlefield Earth. Pure genius.
robert tan OMG! 98% of all the cinematic uses of the Dutch angle in film history was done in Battlefield Earth! Lol!
--->Dutch tilt.
That's not really fair since the whole movie was a masterpiece.
As a filmmaker and a film school professor---I've got to give it to you, brotherman [speaking here and now to the voice-over commentator for these Cinefix complications]---your clear and precise exploration of the motivations for various camera movements is uniquely WONDERFUL and in fact damn-sure PROFOUND!!! PLEASE keep bringing forward to us mere mortals these your TERRIFIC analytical explorations INDEED!!!
I’m loving the inclusion of “wings”, that film is a technical marvel given it is 90 years old!
Best Push shot and best pull shot. Kubrick's Paths of Glory. In the trenches immediately before they attempt to storm the ant hill. No music, no dialogue. Best scene ever!
It s abit unffair not to mention the epic rotation at the cemetary scene in the "the Good, the Bad and the Ugly", when tucko tries to find the grave. But we can't complain because you always do such amazing videos!! thank you so much!!!
I really adore the final shot of “Once” as the camera backs out of the window as she plays her new piano in the apartment. That will always stay with me.
I feel like I just got out of a really engaging lecture in an awesome film class. You describe the feeling of the The Dark Knight shot so well. The viewer and Batman get a second of satisfaction before that shot, which starts the movie on a downward spiral of events that force Batman to take the fall for Two Face's crimes. It literally turns your expectations upside down.
"Too mortified to continue to look on to the train wreck" is the perfect description for taxi driver. No movie has made me feel as uncomfortable and horrified. And I've seen movies like "Requiem for a dream" and "Anti-christ" with Willem Dafoe. I still haven't been able to get all the way through taxi driver. I know its one of the best films ever made but It gives me the same feeling as getting my teeth filled at the dentist.
one of the main topic of the movie is masculinity... maybe it has something to do with how the movie deals with that topic...
The shots from Wings and Soy Cuba are absolutely amazing 👏
that soy cuba shot gave me goosebumps
Ur videos are slowly gonna turn me into the greatest film maker of all time
Denis Villeneuve is a master of the push and definitely should've been shouted out in that section! The shot in Prisoners pushing in towards the trees while the girls are being abducted is stellar work from him and Deakins.
The tilt in the first shot of Blue Velvet is just the best
This channel taught me more about beauty of cinema than 5 year of film school.
I have to say the funeral shot in Soy Cuba... perfection and motion before drones, moving through obstacles and flying... it's amazing.
You don’t talk enough about Taxi Driver
True
That Wings shot is unbelievable.
Kujakuseki01 it feels so modern
That shot from Soy Cuba is utterly haunting. That was the most goosebumps I've had in a while.
I love all of The Fountain clips even if it didn't make the list. That movie is just a sea of wild camera movements that help tell the story.
Always waiting for these episodes so I can find new movies to watch
"Built for the Tilt" is a good name for a band..
a bit too 80's for me lmaoo
Thats terrible😂
That sounds like an album, but like made by a really good band about a decade into their career and it's the first one that isn't that good and comes to be considered by the fanbase as the end of their golden age, but some people still appreciate it and consider it as good as their early work.
Robbie Clark That sounds an awful lot like MCRs last album :-)
IAmABrokenGod Black Sabbath's "Technical Ecstasy", Led Zeppelin's "Presence", Bob Dylan's "Self Portrait", The Rolling Stones' "Goats Head Soup", The Kinks' "Everybody's in Show-Biz", I've seen it all before.
Wow, The Wings had an amazing beautiful shot. Better than most movies today 🤗
The Tarkowsky cut at 04:44 combining the falling man with the empty street by matching the movment of body and camera is pure poetry.
Ever thought about examining music videos as a genre of short film?
That would be so interesting!
This is a great idea.
Recent of course, but I love the shot from Murder on the Orient Express where they discover the body. Just tilted down at the hall of the car while we track the people. The movie had a lot of beautifully shot scenes, but that was one of my favorites.
Cinefix is the best RUclips channel for movies. They actually watch classic movies and they pay attention why a movie is great. Most reviewers just state their personal opinion without any explanation. These guys can analyze each scene of a movie and prove its greatness.
That #4... That zoom, all the way to it's conclusion, was beautiful. Thanks for showing me that. Wouldn't expect something so old to have something as fluid.
And they say the pull out method doesn't work. Hah!
Nice.
It doesn't
I love how you explain the general nuances of each camera movements! :D
Man, the Taxi Driver scene is so gut-wrenching. I'm glad to see it made the cut!
This Wings shot is amazing giving the time the movie was filmed and the state of film equipment of that era.
In all seriousness, this video, and likewise all of the content on this channel, is incredible. I am so grateful to have found a channel like this, which brings to life the often lesser-considered elements of the beautiful word of filmmaking. You are doing a great service to those who commit their lives to the art of filmmaking and those said lesser-considered elements. I see movies in a completely different way than ever before due to what I have seen on this channel. I enjoy profoundly simple, beautiful moments in films that I would have absolutely never noticed, nor known the value of, thanks to your videos. This is such a refreshing deep, meaningful movies channel, very much unlike the likes of "WatchMojo" or many of the other similar ones with "Top 10 movies that made actors quit" or whatever nonsense. Kudos to you for exposing the subtle genius of so many movie scenes, and preserving the meaningfulness of each element, keeping it alive for us to learn from. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Finally Tarkovsky on a list again.
yeah, underserve but whatever
I just finished a paper on Camera movement in Tarkovsky films. Thank you for having The Sacrifice for #2
That track shot in Taxi Driver is one of my favorite parts about the movie and I’m so glad it was finally mentioned.
I love this channel, you dont get to see this kind of professionality very often nowadays here on yt.
I love this kind of videos. Please, do more.
I love that they use all decades of film for these countdowns instead of just recent popular works. And that they actually analyze on an intellectual level.
All awsome shots, that last one almost made me cry!
Please keep doing theese best shots of all time lists. You put so much thought and grant so much respect to the art of movie making that it gives me hope for the next generation of cinemetographers. Thanks for what you do!
the tracking shot from up in the opening montage. one of the most heartbreaking shots
The Dark Knight one was the best, do more shots of revealing a villain!
This is one of my favourite CineFix videos of all time. I am more in awe of the art form because of this channel.
i loved that scene from taxi driver where he burns those flowers, and we watch as they burn in the sink
Only thing I learned from this video is that 2001: A Space Odyssey is probably the best shot movie ever
This channel is awesome!
First one and it's Seven Samurai, LOVE IT!!!!!
I don't think it was mentioned in this video, but one of my favourite shots in history comes groom Abel Gance's Napoleon, in which the chaos of the French revolutionary parliament is shown by literally putting the camera on a pendulum and swinging it back and forth over a crowd of shouting men. It's a masterful shot from a great film.
Surprised Tarantino didn't get a slot, but more importantly the panning of the camera down from Hans Landa and LaPetite to the Dreyfuss' hiding under the floorboards.
Tell me one Tarantino shot that hasn't been copied from a previous movie (combinations of shots don't count).
You blow my mind every time
Just delivering my heartfelt thanks to you guys for changing the way I watch movies. I had to literally re-watch the movies so that I could analyse and soak up the minor details I used to ignore earlier
This is hands down the best content when it comes to movie talk i've ever seen
The tears for fears Donnie Darko scene needs to be On this list
^
It's Gary Jules. Tears for fears did the original mad world
Wolf Master He could be talking about the part that's towards the beginning of the movie where they're showing assorted scenes from Donnie's school where 'Head Over Heels' by TFF plays.
Kaylee F Oh yeah forgot about that. Been a while since I've watched to be honest.
@@KayleeCee Isn't it The Killing Moon by Echo and The Bunnymen at the beginning?
In Inception, the camera wasn’t spinning-everything else was.
The scene in 'The Exorcist III" in the hospital where the camera is panned back and just watching from afar while the nurse is talking and some things are happening with a patient and then suddenly zooms in to the nurse being followed by a person in white with giant shears is one of the BEST camera works I've seen in my life!
CineFix this might get lost in the comments but it needs to be said. I want to thank you for educating me and your viewers about the art of movies. You have given me a love for movies I didn't know I had. I've gone back and watched all of my favorite movies with a different perspective and its so rewarding with the knowledge I now have thanks to you. Thank you.
How about a Best Shots of 2017?
That would be any scene from Blade Runner 2049. Deakins is a master!!!
I am the dangled.
Lists like this are why I like this channel. It gives perspective on what it means to make a movie. It's not just point and shoot like most people would think.
Man these videos must take ages to put together. Writing, editing. And probably endless meetings debating the picks. It's appreciated guys, thanks for all the hard work.
You guys are the amazing!!!!!!!!!! Keep the amazing work up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please some do some top ten videos for:
1) Musicals
2) Comic Relief Characters
3) Fourth Wall Breaks
4) Franchises
5) Cameos
Barry Lyndon aren't pull-outs, but zoom-outs. Different effect.
TTTMusic I had the exact same thought.
Mean streets tilt when Charlie is drunk is SO good
The shot of Holly Martin's silhouette walking out the smoke in the third man is legendary
I was expecting Kubrick.
Space Odyssey 2001.
If my life were a movie, it would have a ridiculously low approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It sucks on so many levels.
If my life we're a film, it would be the greatest film ever, but the shittiest life any person has ever lived.
Dirty Harry noone really cares
Is it as bad as the film "The Room"?
At least they would bother to review, mine no one would even watch
Or it would be highly rated as a senseless tragedy price
I was really expecting Wes to be chosen for pans, but glad he was mentioned and wasn't disappointed with the final choice either. Awesome video guys
The final shot of 2014's *Fury* is pure magnificence.
Push/Pull=Villeneuve
What are the music choices for each pick?
CineFix, I just want you to know that I appreciate you.
I haven't even finished the video neither seen Wings, but my god, that is one hell of a shot!!! I cannot take this smile of owe out of my face!!!
I feel that it could be much more expressive also turning to Batman, so that the Joker remained standing, and Batman as if he were hanging.
Nicolas Gonzalez Jorquera even though that sounds really cool, I feel like the symbolism would feel more forced, and the visual style of something like that would probably feel off putting compared to the realistic camera style the movie already had. Still a great idea nonetheless though
The Coolest I agree with you, both films already formed their photographic style, turning Batman would have felt more surreal, and also, unexpected, although it must be said, turning the Joker was enough, after all, the scene was like the Joker even hung, He remained standing, face to face with Batman. Although I do not think it would feel so forced, taking into account for example the visual fear of each person in Batman Begins, where Batman looked like a monster, Crane's horse was firing fire from his snout, Crane threw bats from his mouth. This scene, and also some of The Dark Knight, that being much more realistic, give an air of surrealism, for example, when the Joker escapes from the police station in a patrol, the camera is still, stuck to the patrol, while that the car made movements with oscillation, the background was blurred, the Joker shaking his head in a fast camera, and with an overwhelming sound in the background, he felt quite surreal. Anyway, I agree.
Yeah, while I get your point, all it makes me think of is the scene in Frozen from Olaf's perspective with his head upside down asking why they're hanging from the world like bats. While that has interesting parallels of its own, I wouldn't be surprised if Nolan tried it, but decided against it in editing because it'd take us out of the moment too much.
The genius of the shot is feeling like we're suddenly seeing the Joker's perspective, but still as the audience and as Batman. We're gaining insight into his thought process but still not fully sympathizing with him. Seeing Batman upside down "hanging from the world like a bat" is super interesting, but not actually the point of the scene. Often storytelling, even through cinematography, is just as much about what you don't put in, to keep focused on what's important, than what you do put in, regardless of how cool it might be.
If Ledger had lived and we got another movie with the Joker though, I'd definitely have wanted to see a shot from his perspective seeing Batman "hanging upside down from the world" as the Bat though. Definitely a cool idea.
@@EmethMatthew Oh I love your comment. Three years have passed. And a lot of things too. TDK is still a wonderful film. Hope you're doing good in life.
I'm kind of early this time
RunFox that’s so fucking cool
RufescentEAGLE *yup*
Wings.... Thats what I love about this channel. not just giving us extremely awesome concepts and details about each clip they show us, but making us wonder and discover new movies and the technique and wisdom the movie crew put together to make that scene.
Copolla`s "away cam" from Taxi Driver is one my fav scenes on movie classics. Because its so simple, so depressing, mesmerizing and at the same time so conceptual and significative. It gives you the "I can't stand to look at you.. and how deep down you re melting Travis, I just can't. im going.... sorry" kind of feel. And doing that with such a subtle movement... its freaking impressive.
I love you guys. just por putting that scene here.
I've always been a huge fan of the tracking crane shot from Notorious. It's breathtaking to see Hitch's camera pan in closer and closer until we get the close up of the Key in Ingrid Bergman's hand.
What's the music that starts at 4:00?
i also want to know this. I hate that they don't cite their music.
x3, or at least where it's from... it's driving me nuts.(EDIT) it's from the dark knight trilogy, i"m dumb. see the scene when young Bruce is on the train with his parents to the opera.
Maximilian Gallant based off that new info it appears to be Corynorhinus by Hans Zimmer
Han Solo hands down best shot.
Conner of Dill Creek Han Solo got his belly button pierced
Greedo was better if only he shot first, but Han had the high ground.
Some Random Name no, obi wan had the high ground
That Wings shot was MARVELOUS.
OHHHHHHH Thank you thank you thank you. thank you so very very much for creating this series and, more importantly, continuing it.
I suggest next time we explore lateral movement and it's meaning (now you see it made an excellent video on this but I want your take), as well as the scenes where music and camera movement moves together in such a brilliant way, that it leaves us in tears.
thank you so much
I was about to sleep!
Marko Paunovic same
No David Fincher shots? Stanley Kubrick?
I love this channel. Watching these lists makes me look at films in adifferent way, and makes me appreciate movies for a lot of different things. Thank you for broadening my perspective!
I really thank you for your channel and particularly this series of best shots. I feel like I'm getting a masterclass in camera techniques in my own living room. I'm virtually crying in the beauty of it all.
