    excellent documentary about a woman who worked as a nanny in Chicago had an amazing photo collection that hardly anyone knew about until years after she died.

    Kurosawa's seven Samurai. I mean it was made in 1954, over 60 years ago and just look how bad-ass that looks.....

    I always loved the introductory shot of Grace Kelly in Rear Window. Come to think of it, I probably love every shot of Grace Kelly in Rear Window

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    I know Citizen Kane gets bandied about the whole time as the greatest film ever made and it's debatable that such an accolade is even valid. However the Gregg Toland's Cinematography still holds up today. Some of the framing is just startling (I was trying to find a shot of Kane in the Bathroom: His face taking up half the screen in extreme closeup while the background was also in full focus but couldn't find it). You see a shot like that today and it would still jar. Still looks uncomfortable (Scorsese used a similar trick extensively in Cape Fear [EXAMPLE HERE])
    The use of focus and extreme camera angles is still very different and cool while not dating the movie to a particular period. Think of the very dated style of American and British movies of the 60's and 70's.
    Look at the way your eye is drawn to the three characters in the scene even though the person furthest back is so small. Amazing shot:

    Sticking with the expansive shots. I remember seeing Superman on TV when I was a kid and loving the bits on the farm. I actually preferred the early scenes: The wide shots of the midwest countryside, the gentle tone (I still do). It's a great way of demonstrating the good natured and honest upbringing he received. Sure, it may be a bit corny (no pun intended) but it was easily understandable to a 9 year old boy watching. I actually lost interest when Superman came to Metropolis.
