Best long takes ever

When CHILDREN OF MEN was released at the end of that year, the film’s amazingly crafted tracking shots were the topic of a lot of conversation and brought the love of those one-take shots back into the forefront. Today I share with you a list that someone put together – complete with video backup – of the best long tracking shots in film history. And yes, before you get your panties in a bunch both GOODFELLAS and BOOGIE NIGHTS made the list. There’s stuff on there you’ve very likely seen and some stuff you probably haven’t. It’s hard to pick a favorite among that list because all of them are really awe-inspiring but the Copacabana walk-through is probably my pick for the top slot. It also reminds me of what a crying damn shame it was that CHILDREN OF MEN didn’t win the Oscar for Best Cinematography (though neither did GOODFELLAS or BOOGIE NIGHTS).
