Best Shots of All Time - Pt. 1

So entertaining and enjoyable

I love you cinefix. Like i really do. I hope yalls team is fine and well today and forever❤❤❤ your videos, commemtary and edition and direction are a cinematic movememt in itself

My favorite shot of all time has to be from the Prince if Egypt when Pharaoh speaks to Moses in his palace.

Too much yacking. Explain but then let us see the shots in peace.

Just because it’s really old and no one did it before doesn’t mean it’s good

Perfect. I fond it increasingly difficult to disagree with both your picks and your explanatory commentary! (I have to stop watching you if I am going to get any everyday work done...) 🤯

just about the only channel that talks about great lesser known movies without sounding like some quentin tarantino PTA fanboy film student

Have you done FINAL SHOT? Because I think Manhattan and the OG Planet Of The Apes are two that qualify...

This has to be one of the hardest lists ever to make

Thanks for making this video. Educational and fun. 👍

Breathtaking.

Actually, the final duel of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly has beautiful examples of every category. Extreme longshot; longshot, medium longshot (it's a western, after all), medium shot, medium closeup, closeup and extreme close up (of eyes, hands and guns), and it even mixes them with over the shoulder shots. It looks as if Sergio Leone was actually doing a masterclass: "Yes, I gave you a wonderful movie, but I also taught you film students every way you can use a camera. You are welcome".

I literally loved Sunshine

"Much like Marion Crane the Psycho shower sequence has been directed to death..." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh shit! I actually did laugh out loud!

Every single Cinefix video drops me between movies I desperately want to watch and movies I desperately want to watch again.

you know who was great at Epic, landscape long shots? Franklin Schaffner. In both planet of the apes and especially Patton.

Nice

THESE VIDS!!!!!

woman in the dunes deserves to be mentioned for sure

While many of John Huston's extreme long shots don't involve people some do and I'm a bit surprised that they didn't even mention one of his extreme long shots.

This channel is criminally underrated. These videos are awesome

I think you could probably keep the categories and fill this list with the three way standoff from good bad and ugly

Dear Cinefix,
Just to say, I much prefer the posts which deal with aspects of filmmaking, rather than the "Ten Best Thrillers" etc. I invariably learn from fom the first, and just as often disagree with the second ("Star Wars" as the best Western? Get away with you!) But pan/tilt/cant, push/pull pan: brilliant! Stick to what you know!
All best

These videos are straight up Film school....

Dreirs Joan of Arc greatest portraits example of all time

How can you not give the extreme close up too The Good The Bad and the Ugly? Its by far the biggest, best, most grand and I'd assume the most obvious example of extreme close ups.

Change that logo bruvs.

My favorite extreme close-up: Charles Bronson's eyes in OUATITW

Dangerous Liaisons! Best lingering close up shot ever.

Everybody wearing masks in the modern day is like watching serial extreme close ups.

I fucking love this type of video!

The lady of the lake catching Excalibur is my all time fave shot. Moves me to tears with the Twilight of the Gods music.

really wish there wasn’t commentary

That was an emotional rollercoaster of awesome. Thanks for all of that. Gonna go marathon some CineFix now.

WatchMojo but with emotional maturity

Perhaps I'm wrong but Requiem for a Dream would've been a good one for extreme close up.

Oh God, this is such a great video in the way it explains different types of camera shots.
I learned a lot just by watching this and really paying attention to his explanations of the shots.
From extreme close ups to extreme long or wide shots, like the wide shots from Lawrence of Arabia, showing the tiny men on camels surrounded but the vastness of the desert sand, to the very tight shots from Psycho showing the murdered woman's mouth and then eye.
This is an absolutely amazing video.

This is real crític! Not shitty watchmojo, you deserve more views!

love me some extreme long shots

a phenomenal video. I've watched it twice already today

Watch on 0.75 speed if you really wanna drink this up

@cinefix you guys are so knowledgable abt cinematography -- do you make films of your own?

I'm confused. Who is responsible for these shots? Is it the director or the cinematographer? Thanks!

That Harakiri shot is in the top 3 greatest shots in cinema, period.

Such good video, but I get headache when listening to it. Are you guys removing the breathing pauses in edit? Please don't. You sound like a robot and talk extremely fast, it's hard to focus. Breathe in breathe out.

You might consider coloring the film titles when they are overlaid on black and white. I almost could't read Metropolis in the second minute, and actually had to GUESS at 8½
