i was watching ALICE DOES'NT LIVE HERE ANYMORE today. and there is this scene where ELLEN BURSTYN and DIANE LADD are out in the sun. talking and bonding. now most directors would have shown their legs. but not SCORSESE. he shows them talking with this shot:
it was very sexy. and imaginative. their lipstick shining in the red hot sun. the frame also shows that these are two ageing women.
post others like this.

Robert Blake in In Cold Blood - the reflected rain gives the impression of tears on his face.  Mulwray sees the light in Chinatown. I couldn't find the picture but Hollis Mulwray on the beach realises the truth as the lighthouse in the deep background lights up. My all time favourite movie visual moment. |

There is a scene in Man From Snowy River where actor Tom Burlinson rides his Australian mountain horse almost vertically down a slope...

Spielberg has been known to pay homage to Kubrick in films.   |

The Man From Snowy River - Jim's Ride If so what an excellent scene - most impressive   . Thanks so much also for the movie recommendation as well  . |

People give Hitchcock's TOPAZ a hard time but I like the movie. It contains one of my favorite scenes, the death of Juanita de Cordoba. John Vernon has found out that Karin Dor is a traitor. They are in a loose embrace as he speaks to her and then suddenly there is a gunshot. Dor leans backwards wide-eyed with her mouth agape. Slowly Vernon lets her slip to the checker-board tile floor. As she slips down to the floor the camera shoots from above the couple. Her purple dressing gown slowly spreads out around her simulating the spread of blood or the opening of a flower.

Speaking of Hitch......
Not to forget some very effective uses of this technique in Jaws, Goodfellas and many more.

You could fill this thread with Tarkovsky, but possibly my personal favorite. The closing shot from Nostalghia [1983]  |

"At the time when this film was made, opinion polls were still a New Thing. In fact, the movie was inspired by a real life opinion poll study done by a husband and wife called the Middletown studies. This, like the town in the film, was a community which seemed to mirror general US public opinion. The study was, of course, anonymous, but after a while residents of the town Muncie began to suspect that the town was in fact theirs. Which is where we hit another fun movie cross-over, because of course Muncie is Tim Robbin’s hometown in the nostalgic 50s-set Coen brothers flick The Hudsucker Proxy (Goooooo Muncie!). Was Muncie chosen as the ideal boy-next-door hometown for HP because of the Middletown study, just as it was chosen to represent heartwarming folk and old-fashioned values in Magic Town? An article I found in the Journal of Religion & Film says “The community that Norville represents is small town America rather than the big city metropolis; The audience is invited to identify with the hero: Muncie, Indiana was chosen in 1925 by sociologists Robert and Helen Lund as the most typical small city in America for their Middletown project. This suggests Norville is an everyman figure with whom we can all identify". I guess that is a yes then. Anyway, sidetracking. Enough to say Muncie is Middletown, is Magic Town."
