“Historically speaking, I think when everything is suddenly in color in “The Wizard of Oz,” after the first few scenes were in sepia. That technology was revolutionary for the time.”

“The Flight of the valkyries scene from Apocalypse Now. Kilgore’s air calvary taking Charlie’s point.”

“The point where you’re introduced to the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park. A turning point of CGI in movies along side the amazing score. Still gives me goose bumps.”

“The multiplane camera 3D effect in Snow White. Revolutionary. And this was all drawn and painted by hand!”

“The opening of Saving Private Ryan, the camera holds on several faces aboard the landing craft, leading the audience to believe these would be the protagonists, the main cast members. Then you see one of them get nailed right in the forehead by enemy fire as soon as the doors open. Now you don’t know who is going to live or die, except for maybe Tom Hanks.”

“The graveyard scene in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. I’ve shown my kids a movie every Friday night since my oldest was 3 (11 now), and that’s our favorite. I can pull it up at any random time and everyone will stop what they are doing and silently watch it. Eli Wallach as Tuco is the greatest anti-hero and one of the greatest performances in film history.”

“Charlie Chaplin – Final Speech from The Great Dictator. For me what makes this moment so legendary is the fact that sound in cinema was implemented around 1927. When this movie came out in 1940 it was the first time that Chaplin spoke in his films. During those 13 years in between he kept making silent movies, or never spoke in them. So when Chaplin decided to speak in his films, it wasn’t because of technological advancement, it was because HE HAD A MESSAGE TO SPREAD.”
