I would have added the unmasking in the first "Phantom of the Opera",The "Ben Hur" Chariot Race and possibly the "Bridge on the River Kwai" explosion(although that duplicated the earlier bridge collapse). I would have removed some of the Chaplin stuff. Some of the shots, like "The Godfather" one aren't great shots. I suspect he just added them to note the film.

There is a movie that starts out with a train wreck. They blew up a train for real, so there was no chance for another take. It was a great shot.

I don't remember the name of the movie and when I google train wreck it only returns Amy Schumer links.

There's never been a scarier film than Nosferatu. Especially that shot where you look up his nose holes. Gives me the yibyabs just thinking about it.

The Fugitive with Scarface and the MiB guy has a train wreck. The train is still lying scattered about the mountains of western North Carolina.

What's funny is that movie is set in Illinois - there are no mountains in Illinois. As bad as my arborrealism is, my dislike of topo-disrealism might be even greater. Cold Mountain - filmed in Europe - epic fail.
