Though it's not as long Welles has a shot in Citizen Kane that is so good I become aroused.
It's when child Kane is ready to leave with his new Dad. He's outside the shot starts at the window and pulls back to the kitchen where the mother and uncle sits.
WOW!!
But I do agree that the most useful one was GoodFellas as it's so story-bound with us following his "intro to his world for his date."
Admittedly that's not something filmmakers except Scorsese would do much of. It's all about cookie cutter stationary shots with Shot-Reverse Shot.
Well I guess the Coens film well. I remember the Hitchcock scene Scorsese remade a couple of years ago. Loved it!
Clint also can speak well with the camera.
