You’re thinking of Night of the Living Dead. The original Dawn of the Dead started at a police shoot-out.

The thing with not giving the audience a very good look on the evil of a movie does help in making them that much more menacing and mysterious, this was done in Signs, which pulled it off excellently

deposition scenes from social network were excellent with the play between everyone in the room, as was the rest of that movie. apocalypse now, end scene with Col. Kurtz. Also with 12 Angry Men, we start by looking down on Lee J. Cobb in the beginning when he is firm on his preconceived notions that the kid is guilty, but when he puts them aside and begins to base the decision off of facts and logic, the camera begins to look up at him, the whole movie is brilliant and a much belated RIP to Sidney Lumet

Dude how can you not include Natural Born Killers?? That whole movie is driven by it’s intense editing. Not impressed by this list.

You’re absolutely right! The Conversation featured Cindy Williams as the unfaithful wife. Post-American Graffiti but prior to her best know role as Shirley Feeney on Laverne and Shirley

Deffinately agree with the silence of the lambs and one flew over. However I think thet requiem for a dream and momento deserve spots on this list.

Good list but you're missing the love scene from 'Don't Look Now'

2001 is the greatest editing sequence ever: The whole movie. It's almost as if reality is blurred with his editing – the monolith scene in the beginning has a sudden shot of it with the sun directly above it, which completely ruins the composition of the previous shot, with the sun at sunrise, and the next shot having the sun at around noon, even though it looks more like night time, considering the moon is clearly visible, and the moon doesn't really look accurate in relation to the sun's position anyway. All of that seems like an error, but it definitely was intentional. The sun isn't a science thing in 2001, it's a metaphorical thing, and so he can toy with our suspension of disbelief without us noticing, and at the same time, subconsciously reveal to us a thematic element of the entire movie.

Chiropractor in Port St. Lucie FL said: You listed some all time classics! What about Braveheart and Gladiator? The story, music, pace and time are huge. So many times the emotion of the music is overlooked. Great editing and great music score really stirs emotions. Thanks for your post!
